I don't care what my kids friends call me, but I expect my children to call all adults by their title and last name.

My kids call all adults by their surnames, even close family friends. All of their friends call us by our surnames also.

My best friend is Mrs. Darnell or Ms. Becky. All other adults are Mr. or Mrs. and last names. I also don't let my kids call their aunts and uncles by their first names only. All of my husband's nieces and nephews call him Matt and me Jeannette. I don't like it. I make mine call them Aunt Debbie, Uncle Paul, etc. Not only a first name. I expect respect be given to adults.

LOL! My son's friends call me "Ryan's Mom" even to my face! I think its cute, and I would not mind them calling me Alana. My kids say Mr/Mrs Last Name to his friends parents/adults.
Alana

It's Ms/Miss/Mrs <First name> for us. But I have had my boys' friends call me Dillon's mom or Devan's mom, and that's fine with me too.

It depends on what the adult is and their relationship to my child. Most of my kids friends just call me Avery's mom or Merrick's mom, etc. But some do call me by my first name. I don't think any call me mrs. My Sunday school class always called me by my first name, but that is how I introduced myself. I personally see nothing wrong with first names. My son's preschool teachers are Mrs Vicki and Miss Kris.

This is what I have taught my kids to do as well, unless the person introduces themself using their surname.

When working with a group of children, for instance, volunteering DD's classroom then I'm Mrs. Lastname.

Socially, I'm Miss Cookie to friends of my children. Even if their parents don't enforce it, I do. My name is my business, not someone else's.

I teach my kids to call other adults Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Lastname if that is what they prefer. Let's just say, I start there. Closer friends are Mr FirstName or Ms FirstName. Relatives are always addressed as their relational title and firstname; ie: Aunt Susie. Professionals are addressed with their professional name: Pastor George (he prefers the children use his first name), Dr. Smith, etc.

In school the children must call everyone Mr. or Mrs/Miss/Ms Lastname. The kids aren't even supposed to address their teacher as 'teacher'. The teacher has a name and the kids are expected to use it. Having the children call the teachers by their first name isn't a selling point to me!

This has not come up for us yet. With our friends my ds always calls them by their first name and their kids call my dh and I by our first names. That doesn't bother me at all. My ds calls my sister Aunt first name. My dh's niece and nephew sometimes use Aunt and Uncle for our names. When my ds starts school and starts meeting new friends I'm not too concerned what they might call me, Miss Kim, Kim, Mrs. last name, whatever is fine with me. I grew up calling my Mom's friends by their first names, my parents never told us to call them anything else. Same thing with my dh when he was growing up. My neighbors all insist on my ds calling them by their first names.
