This is what I thought Becks was going to ask LOL

What do you like other children to call you?

I'm not too fussed, I get called a mix of Teresa and Mrs Teresa.

Most kids call me Jo or Jojo.  I love that I have an easy shortened name as my little sisters kids said my name first (even before their parents) and Michaela said Mum first - I feel pretty special, I'm obviously the most important adult in their lives.

My friends kids cant speak yet but I get referred to as Aunty Nikki and I always refer to friends as Aunty.  I was brought up calling close friends of mum aunty and other peoples mums Mrs so and so.  I guess I'd like tom to learn that kind of respect....it seems to be lacking these days.

Liz. At kids church a few of the other teachers get called Mrs, Miss or Mr (as in, Mrs Liz) but it doesn't feel right to me... mainly I think cos the kids are my friends kids anyway and they're not gonna call me Mrs Liz when they see me at their house lol. I'd find it weird anyway. So yeah, just by my first name.

I'm used to Mrs ____ cos I'm a teacher, so that's my whole other identity

Anna. I don't think many kids even know my surname. Hehe, one of my nieces called me "Naughty Anna" for about three years ...she just couldn't figure out how to say "Aunty". And toddlers often mistakenly call me Nana (not so keen on that name just yet lol).

lol same

I'm Anna or Aunty (for our friend's son - our friend is Samoan and they call all friends/family 'Aunty' and 'Uncle' with no name after)

Oh and there was one little person who called me Nana today cause she was getting it confused with Anna lol

I get called "Hey" from DH.  He hardly ever calls me by my name.  Only when he's really asking for my attention.  It seems really weird when he actually says my name.

 

My parents & siblings call me "Nouska", my BIL's & SIL call me Noshy or Noush.  I used to hate Noushy when I was younger, but now it doesn't bother me.  Sometimes my dad calls me Noushky Noush, which I think is cute. And most of my close friends, and ones who've known me for years call me Noush.

 

My nieces & nephew (one is too young to speak yet) call me Aunty Nouska.  Always leave off the "A" at the start.

 

The kids call me Mum!  Or "Muuuuuum" (in a winey tone).

 

ETA: sorry I didn't read your post correctly, I sort of just read the title, then everyone else's response.

Ann - by most. kids friends call me Ann... well everyone does... lol

At work a couple of ladies call me Annie - I don't really like to be called that (makes me feel inferia or something) but they are nice people and I know they don't mean it that way so I just put up with it.

funnily enough about 2 weeks ago this topic was a full blown argument at a family dinner.

most kids call me cat apart from my god daughters and dh's nephiews and my step sis baby who cant speak yet lol they call me aunty cat,or i get called sarahs mum, and when sarahs really trying to get my attention i either get called "MUMMY!!!!!!!!!" or even"Cathryn" which always gets y attention as it sounds weird coming from her

Mostly Emma, sometimes Aunty Emma if it's a close friend, and Maya calls some of my close friends Aunty and all of Willie's random workmates aunty or uncle - it's a Maori thing I guess.

It is weird tho, when I was a kid EVERYONE was Mr or Mrs except the very odd few who were aunty or uncle. We would never have been allowed to call an adult by their first name yet I would find it waaaaay weird if any of my friends kids called me Ms Fahy

Same except for one adult who was a solo mum of one of my sisters friends and she liked us to call her by her first name.  We thought she was so cool  because of that.

My MIL prefers being introduced to people as Mrs ____.  She gets really annoyed with people who use her first name without her permission (it used to get confusing as she's had 4 surnames and I never knew which one to use).

I've only been married 6 months, so when people call me Mrs G it takes me a while to respond.
Apart from Fleur, I get called wife, the Missus and Yes Dear quite frequently.
My niece's sometimes call me Aunty Fleur, makes me feel old as my niece is 12. She calls her mums friends Aunty.

The only thing is .. they hate it when you are still calling them Mrs _____ when you have grown up ... apparently they then feel old (and Im too old to change to using any other name for them now - its habit lol)
