Question Details: Why do we say 'Would you like a drink ____?' (mum, dad, aunty, grandma, grandpa)
....yet we use actual names when talking to or about nephews, neices, sisters, brothers or grandchildren?
If your a parent how would you react if your child called you by your first name?
We are here today because of our parents, they brought us into this world. They removed the cotton wool from our eyes, fed us, clothed us, gave us shelter, warmth, love and support. By calling them 'mum', 'dad', 'mother' or 'father' we are acknowledging their role, a signal of respect. I have seen a lot of children calling their parents by their first name..But I disagree.
But I digress..
Where do you stand on this debate?
Thank You :-)
Have a wonderful day!
