  • poll: What do you call your aunts and uncles?

    Aunt Jane and Uncle John, always have and always will call them that

    I used to call them Aunt and Uncle when I was a child, but now I just use first names

    I have always called them by their first names

    Depends on the aunt and uncle

    I am 28 and still call my aunts and uncles by their titles. In DH’s family it is sort of an ‘adult rite of passage’ to stop calling them by their titles when they hit legal adulthood. In his family it is actually a sign of respect to do this. It’s like saying “we are all adults and equals now”.

    I guess all families are different.
