[quote=Anonymous]Growing up I always, always called adults Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss Lastname unless they were a very close family friend and I had permission to use their first name. That was the same throughout our social circle. There were a few outsiders I knew of whose parents insisted on first names and it seemed like they were trying too hard to be buddy-buddy with the kids. Looking back, I laugh at how formal we were! I still live in my hometown and Ms. firstname is by far the most common, but occasionally kids will call me Mrs. lastname, just my first name, whatever is comfortable. I'm not picky. I teach my kids to ask adults what they want to be called, but default to Mrs. Lastname initially.[/quote]
