Inspired by something in momtozoe's journal....

What do your kid's friends call you?

Mrs. LastName
Mrs. FirstName
Ms/Miss FirstName
FirstName
YourKid'sName's Mom
Something else

I'm very curious.

Some (Noah) call me Miss Simi, Tahmina and fam call me Mama Simi and I would say most just call me Simi (or Andie's Mom at school if they don't know my name).

The twins call me Aunt Shannon or Aunt Hardegree (there are two Shannon's they know)

Others just call me Ms Shannon & that is what children at church call me, too

oh and Eli? he only manages to get out the first name (apparently Mr and Miss are too hard) so it totally sounds like he's just calling them by their first name but we're encouraging him to call them "Mr Charles" or "Miss Holly"

so far, this: YourKid'sName's Mom.
I don't know about the future, though, probably just my firstname if they can say it ;) Not sure.

so far I'm usually Lukey's mom, or Katie's mom. But I think that's because they don't know my name, and like they're going to remember it. So the parents of course we're Jack and Viki, but the kids, no.

At our school too all the teachers are Ms. Amy or Ms. Gladys or Ms. Natalie, and sometimes the kids just drop the Ms. and just call them by their first name. I don't know their last names, but I can't imagine trying to get Katie to say Ms Gonzales, etc.

Ms/Miss Kirsty and that's how I have Caden saying his friend's parent's names - Mr/Miss/Ms FirstName.

I grew up using just first names, but I wanted a bit more formal w/o using last names and I don't like aunt/uncle unless they really are the aunt/uncle.
