[quote=Anonymous]I introduce my kids to adults by first name and I introduce myself to other kids by first name and that's what everyone's calling each other. I was raised that way, too (though in NY). So, presumably this kid has a parent like me, and thus is certainly not being "rude" - it's just different. All you need to do is say "I prefer to be called Ms. Jones" or "I prefer to be called Ms. Larla" - my kids and I would absolutely respect that, and with no judgment. You should be called whatever you want! It's unfair to judge the kid for something people doing differently without even letting your preference be known. [/quote]
