[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. On my side of the family, everyone that is an "adult' is an aunt or uncle (even if the technical relationship is cousin or second cousin once removed or whatever). So a 7 year old would definitely call a 30 year old cousin "aunt." (We are Chinese, FWIW). On my husband's side, they definitely don't do that. So he has adult cousins that I would prefer my kids call "aunt/uncle" but that doesn't appear to be what they do. It seems strange to call someone "Cousin Jane," though.[/quote] We are Irish-English and all adults are Aunt/Uncle, no matter what the actual relationship is. We've always done it that way. The kids just don't call adults by their first names without some sort of respectful title. [/quote I have my kids call all adults Auntie First Name, Uncle First name, Ms. First Name, Mr. First Name. Sometimes they call their friends' moms 'Friend's name's mom.' [/quote]
