If your niece or nephew referred to you only by your first name, would feel that he/she was being disrespectful?

Respect comes from actions, it isn't in a name.

I like being called Auntie, even by those kids I'm not related to. I don't think the omission would feel disrespectful, but it would feel odd.

I expect to be called Sir, darn it! :P
Just kidding... I don't find it disrespectful. Unless if they are saying it in a disrespectful manner.

Depends on their age and if we have has a prior conversation about it. I love being an Aunt though so I love the title.

I called my uncle only by his first name today and I got a message back starting with "it's uncle John."

We were talking about the ACA and he said my lack or respect was as bad as my knowledge of the government... This was right after he called Obama a socialist Muslim dictator.

No; I wouldn't care. They're all adults. I haven't seen any of them for a while, but I think they all still call me Aunt Susan anyway. Doesn't matter to me.

MYDWTOLYH stands for "make wise decisions with the only life you have." A teacher of mine used to say that to all of his students on Fridays at the end of class. My Fridays feel incomplete without it now.

Wow, probably because I didn't know what to expect at all, that was a pleasant surprise. That's a dope saying!

Better to be busy than stagnant. I had to drop all my classes because I'm moving to Florida in like a month. I get mad bored lol. I been good though, I might be on SOHOA next Sunday. Pretty hype at that prospect.

I know that I would never want to be called 'Aunt Emily.'
An uncle of mine corrected me today... Made me wonder if other people found it disrespectful too.
