[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever that adult wants to be called. Phoebe, Mrs. Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, whatever. I hate the "Miss Phoebe" thing. We're not Southern, obviously. [/quote] I am a brown immigrant and I would say “Miss Phoebe”. It’s not just a Southern thing. We have kids call us by our first name and I find it incredibly off putting that their parents allow that and even refer to us by our first name when talking with their kids. It’s like they think they are being so modern but it’s really tacky. Your kids are still kids. Stop thinking that treating them like your mature equal is going to make them into some well adjusted super adult.[/quote] I find this response so odd. If you want to be called “Ms First name” if “Ms last name,” just say so. If other people want to be called by their dfirst name, as I do, why do you care? To each her own. [/quote]
