[quote=Anonymous]Growing up, we always called adults Ms./Mr. firstname. I still refer to all of my parents' friends this way. I'm not from the South but I agree it is a regional thing. I prefer firstname only but really don't care. If their parents prefer Ms or Mrs, that's fine and I have my kids refer to them in the same manner. I let others take the lead and go with it. I don't let anyone take on the "aunt" or "uncle" title other than my brother and DH's sister (and their spouses). My SIL had my nephew call everyone "aunt" and it totally pissed me off. I felt like it completely undermined my special place in his life. I don't let my friends' kids call me 'aunt' either. That is reserved for my niece and nephew. [/quote]
