[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THIS IS CRAZY. Same question was asked a couple months ago and it was unanimous: first name only. So, I switched to first name because I felt so old instructing my kids to say “Mrs Smith” when everyone else was doing “Susan”. I hate that my 4 year old calls an adult by her first name. But it seemed like the days of Mrs Lastname were gone. Now you’re all saying Mrs Lastname is what you want...? [/quote] I've been posting on DCUM for about a decade, and this topic comes up a lot. When ever I see it, I always chime in with my belief that children should call adults Mr. or Ms. Lastname, unless the adult specifically asked to call something different (Ms. Sally or just "Sally.") If the thread you saw a few months ago was unanimous that children should call adults by their first name, I guess I missed it; I definitely would have posted my dissent. [/quote]
