Your friends' parents? I've been babysitting these kids and they call other kids parents by their first names. I was always taught that we called them
Mr. Or Mrs.
When you were a kid, what did you call..

I think I always avoided calling them by their names. I felt it very awkward. But if I had to I'd call them by Mr or Mrs.

My friend's parents were Mr. or Mrs. but my parent's really close friends we called by their first name.

EDIT- OOOOPS- I read parents' friends! Yes, definitely Mr or Mrs, unless they told us to use first names.

I always called the Mom and then the letter of their last name. Like one of my childhood friends Moms is "Mom D"

By their names, no one over here calls anyone mr or mrs anything, it'd be weird.

When I was really young we lived on the other side of town, and everyone called parents by their first names. When my parents moved us across town, literally 5
minutes away, everyone was Mr. Mrs., etc. Now, I will refer to people as Mr/Mrs. So and So (insert friend's first name.

I think I always just said "______'s mom/dad".
If I was close with them, I called them by their first name but it always felt weird anyway.

Ms. Diane, Ms, Vernell, etc. The only one who was any different is one of my mother's close friends and I called her by her last name, Ms. ________ My siblings' friends all still call my mother Ms. Kay and they're in their 40s. But they all called my father Jimmy. No Mr. Just Jimmy.

Mr. & Mrs. So&So, or if they were really close friends of my parents, Aunt & Uncle So&So.

Sometimes it was "*friends names* mom" sometimes mr or mrs so and so. I'd only call them by their first name if they told me to - and a few did.

Mr or Mrs. Unless its my best friends dad. i usually called him dad, but her mom i tried to just say "hey sarah needs this. or can i have this?" i
tried to never use her name because i can't stand her
but even my grandmas freinds and stuff, it's Mrs. K or whatever. Even my mom does it. |

If I had to greet their mom, I said Tante, which means auntie. I wasn't in the US when I was little, so yeah.

Whatever they asked me to call them but I usually avoid saying their names at all
I did call my friends uncle "Uncle Car" when we were younger, cause he was the hot uncle with the great car lol |
