What Do Your DCK's Call You?

Miss "(my name)"
(my name)
teacher
grandma
mom
mama
auntie
hey you

I answer to most anything.

This is pretty much here too except for the hey you. 2 of them call me mommy or mom all the time.

The kids call me Ms. Nikki, Aunt Nikki, or Ne-Ne for the toddlers that try to call me mommy.

I find it so interesting to read about those that let, and don't mind, their DCK's call them by their first name!

I get seriously offended when one of my clients tells her kids to say, "Tell __first name__ goodbye!" and they'll look at her like she's crazy and say, "Bye, Ms. ___first name___!"

Definitely a great example of culturally differences.

I was raised to never call an adult by their first names as they weren't my friend. I called my friend's parents by Mr or Mrs so and so. NEVER their first names. Last summer I provided temporary care to my BFF from high school's children. Her mother would come pick the kids up and I would still say Mrs J. She said "Ya know, you are an adult now, you can call me by my first name."....but I just can't do it. It feels so wrong. ::

I don't mind the DCK's calling me by my first name because I feel the relationship we have is much more intimate that a teacher-student relationship. I feel if I change their bottoms, hug their hurts away and tickle their tummies, they can call me by my first name.
