[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sad part is that OP and her DD have to live in the world they actually live in, and deal with any consequences thereof, not the world they want to live in.

Sucks not to always be on top. Sucks to try so hard to insult someone, when they don't really care that much -- and yet still are going to pass judgement on you, because that is their job.

Oh, well. Maybe OP feels better for ranting here. One can only hope. It's a small enough gift.[/quote]

Consequence for an adult addressing another adult by their first name? It's not like OP said her daughter uses "Hey cat lady" or "Yo" to greet professors. What's wrong with "Hi Ryan" or "Hi Suzy"? It's completely normal and okay.[/quote]

So you think it is fine to tell your child, who is going off to college, to go ahead and just call all profs by their first names because you think it is "completely normal and okay."  Even though you know this isn't how many of these people prefer to be addressed?

I guess you are one of the OPs who also think it is OK for your college aged child to call a judge, police officer, much older adult they don't know well, etc. by their first name by default.

You are so uncouth and crude.[/quote]
