Partyof5-that’s interesting. What H’s (black) family does is everyone is on a first-name basis-aunts, uncles, in-laws. H’'s parents are deceased, so I don’t know what they’d have preferred, but for the young married couples, they all use first names with their in-laws. The little kids seem to be divided on calling us either by first name or aunt/uncle. HOWEVER, D’s friends from church or school tend to call me Miss Firstname and H Mr. Firstname, as do the kids working in the grocery stores I shop at.
