Sorry, but I respectfully disagree with you on this. I don’t think that my neighbors kids should be calling me or my wife by our first names.
If their parents don’t care then there’s nothing we can do but we instruct our children to call their friends parents either Dr., Mr., Mrs., Rabbi _______ or so and so’s Daddy or Mommy.
Even if they tell our kids that they don’t care about their own respect we ask that they honor our decision.
