[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are so confused these days. Is it Larla, Ms Larla or Mrs smith? The first time a kid addresses me I say “please call me Ms Larla” and that fixes it. I cannot stand being called “Jane’s mom”[/quote] Weirdly I love being called “Jane’s mom”. My DC and I don’t share the same last name but most kids don’t know my last name and I really like my DC’s name. I think it was here on dcum that I learned that there are places where this is a formalized custom and not just kids being uncertain about what to call adults.[/quote] I also think it’s really cute when younger kids call me “larlo’s mom” but wonder if it will feel a little weird as the kids get older (pre-teen and up). What’s kind of funny to me is that in many East Asian cultures, the other parents would call you “Jane’s mom”, though the kids would be expected to call you “Aunty” if they don’t know your last name, or “Aunt Lastname” if they do.
