Kids calling parents by their first names

mtnwife530's picture

Ok, OSD42 is married and they have biokids (ds11 and dd8). OSD is a TOTAL control freak. She has a complete tantrum if she thinks dh is going to have a cocktail, and there is NO reason she should and is still critical of other peoples parenting! They allow both their kids to call them by their first names! Both to them and when when referring to them to other people!
I see this as very disrespectful. I have family in the south they would smack a kid that doesn't answer with Sir or Ma'am. I just don't get why any parent would allow their child to call them by name??????
Any insight??

because it's a new age thing and they think it's cool....

I don't care what Aergia calls her father or mother, I'm neither and she will call me M'am...
