[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many call me by my first name only and I strongly dislike it. That would have been seen as rude when I was a kid. I'd prefer Ms FirstName. I introduce myself that way, but generally don't correct a kid who just calls me FirstName. Should I say, " that's Ms. FirstName to you"?[/quote] I think the polite thing to do is to tell the Chile (or anyone) what you wished to be called. I prefer first names but absolutely want to respect the wishes of others (although I sometimes default to reminding my kid to day miss first name because I have more trouble remembering last names).[/quote] I agree, and it’s a good example for kids to show that it’s okay to ask somebody to respect preferences, and it’s an opportunity for them to know that it’s not a big deal to be corrected.
