Do you still call your parents’ friends Mr. or Mrs. so and so?

I don’t talk to my parents why the fuck would I talk to their friends?

Wherever I meet a co-worker or friend’s parents I always say “Hi (first name’s) Mom/Dad!” Even if they’re like 80.

My 8 year old son has a friend who calls my wife and I by our first names. His dad is an American boomer, so maybe it's some self-esteem bullshit he's been taught. Either way, it's grating to hear a child address you by your Christian name.

It does feel disrespectful tbh. He's otherwise a sweet kid
We’re not really friends anymore but he always calls my dad by his first name which I think is weird. I’m not entirely sure when it started but it’s been a while. I grew up with that dude and there’s no circumstance where I’d ever call his dad “Tom.”

The half-assed attempt is when my son's friends call me Mr. [first name]. Nice half sign of respect, stupid.

That’s a good point actually. For my entire life I’ve called my parents’ neighbor Mr. blah blah but we always called his wife by her first name. I literally have no idea why. I called my dad’s one friend Mr. so&so when we were fishing and he told me to grow up so I just call him by his last name now.

The more that I think about it I think it’s a matter of when you met them. I call some of my dad’s friends by their first name because I met them when I was out of HS. But like if I knew them when I was a child I’ll call them Mr. so&so. Thanks for tuning into my blog. Hit the subscribe button.

I think the majority of brothermen here are more well adjusted than you think.
