In all honesty, it isn't straightforward.

She could be close to him in age. She could be someone he knew before they got involved. He might not like her for legitimate reasons.

Truth be told, I think she is out of pocket. I wouldn't expect someone's adult kids to call me Uncle or Mr. If I was in my 50s/60s, I might think it rude but I wouldn't make demands of my girlfriend/wife.

I see things like that as a flex.




Man, my siblings children better call me "uncle" forever.

What are you even talking about right now?:mjtf:

and if I'm old enough to be someone's dad, they better put a handle on my name.

Wrong.

nikka obviously ain’t grown if he bought this to twitter and people raised correctly refer to their elders as Mr. and Ms. unless they excuse you from doing so.
I was ready to be mad, but shyt I kind of agree
I never had it spelled out for me but it's kind of just a known respect thing

I don't call my dad's wife Ms, but I never refer to her by name

I just start talking and looking in her direction
It's less weird than it sounds
I don't really talk to her that much
But i introduce myself when I see her

And I wouldn't just go and call her by her first name

It depends on how you were raised tho

If she’s from the South it’s the norm.

My mother’s husband is Mr. Such and Such and so was all of her boyfriends.

All my friend’s moms and their “friends”, all my aunties and uncles boyfriends and girlfriends was Ms and Mr such and such until they got married and became Unc and Auntie.

My granny’s boyfriend after my grandfather passed, and my wifes granny’s boyfriend right now.

I don’t even feel right calling an elder by their first name like I’ve earned that honor.
I know this, my family is from NC, but, was that necessary right after offering condolences on a close death? Makes it sound funny.

He thought this was brilliant in his head :laff:

Clearly I am being facetious.

We're talking about the same situation. I'm not talking about nieces and nephews. Just broadly referring to thinks juniors typically say to seniors.

I wouldn't call a close family friend Mr but would say Uncle so and so.

And society is different now. If you're in your 50s, would you expect your 30 year old boss to call you Mr?

Think this is a general issue actually. People expecting tradition whilst living untraditional lives. Protocol hasn't caught up.

Dude is a dork for airing out his family business on Twitter.

That being said that mr, mrs shyt been dead to me. You have to be elderly or have known me since I was a lil kid. I damn sure not calling my Mom's bf or husband by Mr im a grown ass man. Even when I dated a chick with small kids I was totally fine with them calling me by my first name.
