My 4 kids call me mum but when they were little and we were shopping for school uniforms they had to shout out my real name so I could distinquish them from all the other cries of "Muuuummmm" |

"I call mine mum in private and by a shortened version of her name in company. This started as a result of the extended family getting much bigger, when one kid shouted mum 5 would come running  "
In this day and age it must be chaod when someone shouts "dad!"
Or maybe not. |

Just goes to prove the lack of respect that some people have for their elders.
My Mother or father would have killed me if I'd done that - likewise if I addressed a neighbour by their Christian name, it was always, Mr, Mrs, Aunty or Uncle .... but never their Christian name |

I personally don't see it as a lack of respect but rather that society has adapted and changed. I have a wonderfully close and loving relationship with both my parents which includes the highest level of respect on both sides  |

Any of my mates moms and dads were reffered to as mr or mrs....elder relatives were aaunt or uncle regardless if they were 
I had an aunt pat and it wasnt till i was grown up that i found out that she was a cousin ..But it was a respect thing given to older people ....A lost world these days  |
