What do your kids' friends call you?

ammommy wrote: Until very recently, I would cringe when someone would call me "Mrs", but now I get annoyed when Alec's friends, or their older siblings, don't call me at least Miss Lisa. Honestly, though, I prefer his new friends call me "Mrs." HOw do I handle it when the other Mom wants my kids to call her by her first name, but I prefer the more formal, and I think respectful, title?
Am I just getting old?

luvbug00 replied: Well growing up my mom was called Mrs. until we reached high school then it was her first name. But To all Mya's little friends It's Nadia ( the reminder of not being married is not somthing I want to hear every weekend.)and her best friend calls me "Ma" like Mya. I don't think it's old fashioned at all.

mammag replied: They don't really....they just start talking to me.... odd, I never even really thought about it. I'd be okay with them calling me Jeanie though I think.

Kaitlin'smom replied: We call other moms Miss and there first name and other dad are Mr and there first name. personally I dont want to be Mrs. (my last name) mankes me feel OLD and awkard for me.

iluvmysweetiepies replied: Depending on who is it and how close they are, I get called many things- Kellie, Miss Kellie, Mrs. Last Name. LOL I really don't mind what they call me.

TANNER'S MOM replied: I feel comfortable w/ my first name.

Whatever they call me is fine. BUt Mrs Mel sounds silly to me!

punkeemunkee'smom replied: The younger ones mostly call me Ms. Abbie, the older ones just call me Abbie and then a couple call me Aunt Abbie...it just depends. Tay calls most everyone Ms. ______. I think is more respectful

ammommy replied:
I meant Mrs (last name here)
Miss/Ms Lisa sounds natural to me, but then I heard it all of the time growing up.

~KARA~ replied: im not around my oldest dds friends enought for them to call me anything. She only sees her friends at school.
Growing up I just called them by their first name or "Mom"

gr33n3y3z replied: Melissa's kids call me Lisa
The kids at school call me Miss Lisa Grrrrr But it has to be that way

But when kids call me Mrs.**** I'm like ummm thats my Mother In-Law lol
The boys GF's call me ma which is fine also better then MRS. but they feel funny calling me Lisa

Josie83 replied: Well Cassie is only three her best friends are Kate, who is her cousin, and Lucy, who is my best friends little girl. They are the only ones who really come around to play atm. Kate just calls me Josie, and Lucy calls me Josie or mummy Cassie is the same with Nikki - she calls her Nikki (well, Nitti ) or mummy

If they were to ask me, though, I would tell them Josie. No way am I being called Mrs O'Connor or any of that! And Miss Josie, that sounds like a dance teacher . . . I would never ask them to call me that and I have never heard anyone call mums that over here.

If we're at nursery I'm usually just addressed as "your mummy" or "Cassie's mummy." One of the kids actually sashouted at me "hey, Casie's mummy" the other day when I was at her nursery xx

A&A'smommy replied: Other kids call me Ms. Jessica or Aunt Jessica poor Alyssa is going to be SOOO confused with all her aunts and uncles lol

mom21kid2dogs replied: I've never had any child ever call me anything other than Cheryl or some derivative of it~like Sherri, Sharon, etc. Personally, I think I'd laugh if they called me Mrs. #####~She's my MIL!!!

I would have no problem having my child address an adult by Mrs#### if they preferrred it. Even my 94 yo neighbor insists we call her Edith instead of Mrs. ####!

Alice replied: My kids always call their friends Mrs Smith.. or whatever. And when they ask me my name, I give them the option of Alice or Mrs. A.

But I think that respect is taught young, so my kids don't have the option unless an adult insists on the first name.

ediep replied: my 2 best friends kids call me Edie and they call DH Scott. Jason also calls my friends and their husbands by their first names

paradisemommy replied: here in hawaii everyone is either "aunty", "uncle", "tutu" (grandma) or "papa" (grandpa)

i like it that way because it shows respect and i don't have to hear Mrs. ______ i hate being called by my name..

SOUTHERN MOMMY replied:
:rollsmile:What is it about alabama everybody you know is aunt or uncle so and so Funny though i thought it was only around here

mom21kid2dogs replied:
In my closest circle of friends, my daughter calls them "auntie". My friend's children have done that to me, too. I think it's a very special term of endearment and feel so special when they call me that. Ironically, we never do that with the men here, though, even when the relationship is a close one unless they really are the uncle. Strange!!

stanleygirl replied: Mostly I am Amanda or Auntie Amanda, but Kieran's one little friend always calls me lady, or that lady He thinks it is funny, and actually so do I!

MM'sMama replied: Brice's friends mostly call me Karah or Brice's mommy . I don't think Mrs. is old fashion though I think is very respectful!

ammommy replied:
Close friends are "aunt" with us, too.

I guess I am getting old

MommyToAshley replied: I never really thought about it since Ashley is so young. I don't think I would like to be called Miss or Mrs though... Dee Dee is fine. Come to think of it, I think they refer to me as Ashley's Mommy. LOL!

jcc64 replied: No one is referred to as "Mrs" around here. I've always been called by my first name, and so is every other mother I know, and it took a little while for the kids to acclimate to calling their teachers Mrs. Whatever.
I never thought about it, but when I was a kid, that was the only way we addressed adults. I never would have addressed an adult by her first name, but that's the way it's done now around here.

ions_momma replied: They usually just start talkin to me and dont call me anything. A few of them call me Abbie though. I dont care for the Mrs. or Miss stuff, it makes me feel old!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: They just call me Sara ~ but I'm not usually around a lot of kids besides my close friends' kids anyways. There are a couple of families at my church who like their kids to call people Mr. or Mrs. Whatever, so I have been called Mrs a few times and it feels so weird.
