How should adult sons female friend address me?

Question

I am meeting my sons new female friend today. He was with the same girl for 6 years so this is the first time I am meeting someone new. He is 22 years old and lives at home (he works full time and goes to school full time- so no slack on that- OK).

At this age how should I expect her to address me- Mrs. XXXX or by my first name?

Thanks in advance....

I guess I am not saying what WILL she call me- I am saying what should I ALLOW her to call me

Answer 1

I would hope she'd say Mrs. ____ at first, and then you can say "You can call me ____" That would really start her off on the right foot.

Answer 2

I would think 22 would be old enough to call you by your first name. My brother's girlfriend's parents expected me to call them Mrs. and Mr, and I'm 25. I just thought that was very rude. I live on my own, support myself, and am an adult. But then again, there was a time when you called anyone that was older than you Mr. or Mrs., so I guess it's your preference.

Answer 3

That is purely an individual choice, what do you feel comfortable with her calling you. Ms. Doe, Mrs. Doe, or by your first name. But whatever she begins calling you is what she will most probably address you as from this point forward. Good luck and god bless

Answer 4

Mrs. "Smith" should do until you feel comfortable for her to call you something else. I live the south and even when you finally give permission for her to use you first name, there had better be a Ms.on it, e.g. Ms. Jane.

Answer 5

I'm 24 and I've always addressed my friends moms as Mrs.XXX until they tell me otherwise. Once you've established your own friendship with her then you can let her know its ok to call you by your first name. (Unless of course you like being called Mrs.XXX)

Answer 6

Mrs. until you give her permission to call you by your first name and you do that when you are comfortable with it.
