" My friend&amp;#039;s children call me Mary, but I&amp;#039;d prefer they call me Mrs. Jones. At the same time, my friend insists that my daughters call her Sally. I&amp;#039;m trying to teach my children to address adults formally, but my friend isn&amp;#039;t being a great help. What should I do? Your friend might feel like a grandmother when someone younger calls her &amp;quot;Mrs.,&amp;quot; but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean you&amp;#039;re wrong to want to teach your children how to address adults formally. Explain to your kids why it&amp;#039;s important to you, but that a few exceptions exist. Tell them that some grown-ups, like your friend, prefer to be called by their first name -- and it&amp;#039;s all right for your kids to do so when given permission. Next, take your friend aside and tell her that though it&amp;#039;s fine for your kids to call her Sally, you hope her children will call you Mrs. Jones. Then let her children know your preference.
