[quote=Anonymous]Mrs LastName or Mrs Initial of Last Name (because our name is kind of long), or Larlo's Mom. NEVER first name. And after preschool never Miss FirstName, although i don't really mind that one, it just feels like it belongs in preschool. To this day I still call my friend's parents Mrs/Mr LastName - no first names, and we are all grown ups, but it's what I'm used to. And I do think it's respectful. I think children calling adults by their first name is odd. There should be a title. Thinking about sports teams, we use Coach FirstName, and that seems fine. Babysitters are usually Mr/Miss FirstName, although some younger teens are just FirstName. Camp Counselors or Mr/Miss FirstName. But parents of friends are Mr/Mrs LastName, for life![/quote]
