Kids addressing adults by first name

I'm almost 30 and still feel weird calling my girlfriends family by their first names

My brother in law (wife's sister's husband) calls our father-in-law by his first name and it weirds me out.

I keep it Mr. Last name. Would have gone Mr. First Name in the southern tradition but he's a Navy man from Virginia. Seemed borderline

I'm 30 and still call people who I've known since I was younger Mr and Mrs. Feels weird to just drop it all of the sudden. 

Pisses my Father in Law off that I have a hard time dropping the Mr before his name

I'm 41 and call my in laws Mr and Mrs. It's a Southern thing baw.

agree completely...I would have never considered doing it and if I had kids, they wouldn't do it either.

I'm 28 and I still call my gf's family "Mr." and "Ms." They are from New York, so they get a kick out of that.

I believe some of this is location based, as in, where you were raised. I grew up in NJ, through middle school. All of my friends' parents, we addressed by their first names unless we had never met one of them.

I attended HS in Virginia. Everyone, and to this day still do, address my VA friends' parents by Mr. and Mrs. Last Name.

Both are fitting. I see no fault as long as the adults are respected and are comfortable being called by either their first or last name. Sometimes it's more of the adults preference than the child's manners.

I have certainly always done Mr or Mrs first name , never last name. All my friends parents or my parents friends I always just addressed like that.

My 12 year old son doesn't do this to others, But his friends come to my house and call me by first name without the Mr. It is really weird to me. I am 37 and there is a twelve year old kid saying "hey Bobby, can I have more pizza?"

That's Mr Bobby you little frick! And yes you can have more pizza!!

My dad would beat me if I showed that kind of disrespect to an adult. I still call my FIL Mister. He never told me I couldn't so I don't.

is your name really 'Bobby' or Robert?

I'm 37 and it annoys me when my neighbors little kids call me by my first name. That's why I've told them to stay off my lawn.
