[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sister in law reprimanded by child aged 8 for not using “aunt” before the name of her aunt, calling her Susie vs. aunt Susi. Said it was disrespectful. I was honestly stunned a bit and didn’t even think of anything to say, I am not us born and never really thought my kids that they have to say aunt or uncle. My mother in law stepped in and said a couple things to diffuse the conversation but my sister in law kept at it, then got up and said she had to run an errand. Btw the aunt in question wasn’t in the room. The more I think of this the more I feel like it was rude and out of place for her to say this about my child, shouldn’t she be minding her own business and keep her unsolicited advice to herself? What do you think?? Thanks!! [/quote]

I do not allow children to call me by my first name.  It's either Aunt Sally, Miss Dolly, or Mrs. Smith

Oh please, to each their own and it’s personal preference not manners. I don’t like to be called aunt and thankfully have never been called that. In general, if someone reminds someone once/corrects them, that is fine. If they do it more than once, it’s rude [/quote]
