Me and my sister were allowed to cal our mom by her 1st name, it was relatives, when they heard it told her no tot allow us to be so "womanish?" Anywayy, she raised us how she wanted and TRUST me we feared and respected our mom.

My sister makes my nephew call me Auntie, even though I told him he can call me by 1st name? I have a son, and he will call my siser by 1st name, if she dont like it tuff!
This sounds all too familiar! My parents had me when they were young, so they would call each other by their first names and I hooked on to those names! Unlike my lil sister she was calling them mommy and daddy! They never scolded me for doing so nor was I disrespectful to them! I guess it's up to the parents, but I'm sure to teach my children that I'm Mommy and that's Daddy! But in most cultures they have other pet names fuh the parents!
