What Do The Kids Call You?

[SilverSabre25]

I have them call me by my first name...we're not too formal of a place here and asking them to call me Miss ****** would feel weird. Plus, my DD calls me by my first name (sigh...trying so hard to break her of that) and it would break my heart if she was calling me Miss on top of it.

In reality though, I get:
DD 3.5: First name
DCB 3: garbled version of first name, or mommy if he wants to make DD mad...which is often.
DCG 2: Mommy
DCB 2: (nothing, not many words from him yet)

They call me Joyce. Funny, though... people in the South always use "Miss" so-and-so. In my 17 years, I've had a family from Tennessee, and a family from Georgia. The parents each introduced me to their children as "Miss Joyce", and the parent continued to call me that and refer to me as that to their kids. The kids, however, just said "Joyce" because that's what all their peers were doing. I really don't care what they call me, as long as they call me something nice!!

My mother would have my behind if I ever called her by her first name ::

As old as I am I still would never call her by her first name. Jokingly I sometimes call her Mrs. ***** but that is few and far between. Even in conversation I will say my mom, my mother.

I'm Aunt Cheri (French pronunciation, not Sherry) since I was 7 months old. Except by grandchildren and a few select dckids. Many variations of Aunt Cheri: aunt we, aunt tree, aunt shay-we, an-we, chim-cheree, aunt swee...etc... DH is Papa Jerry.

I personally don't like being called "miss" but the younger kids tend to call me mom or momma or mommy because 2 of my kids are here all the time and call me that

Hmm...two of mine do not talk yet. My daughter calls me mommy and sometimes the 1 yr old dcg calls me that too. It's not a lot and I know it's because all she hears is someone calling me mommy. She calls her mom "mama". I usually refer to myself as "miss soandso" or just soandso. Sometimes I let the parents decide. Whatever they start out calling me. I'm sure next year this will come up more.

and I have to add.. I'm married - I earned the MRS. so if anything . ... I think MRS is more appropriate.
Miss isn't a casual form of Mrs.. It means you aren't married I thought?

I think Ms. means either married or unmarried. It's broad.

Miss means you are single.

Or so I've been told.

I am southern to the core so they call me Mrs. **** or Mam (yes, mam, no, mam), even the parents since I am a good 15 years older than they are. When I have a parent the same age we are on a first name basis.

The infants, of course, just call me Wahhhhh!! with grabby hands...

[daycare]

not even adults can say my name right, so the kids call me miss loole....Most of them cant pronounce L so it comes out miss yoolee...

Even my own son will call me miss mommy loole.

Even though miss means single, its fine with me as they are kids and have no clue what the difference between mrs. and miss is....

[SandeeAR]

None of mine say more than a few words yet. When they start talking, I will teach them "Miss Sandee". For me it is a respect thing. All adults are referred to as "Mrs/Miss" or "Mr".
