would you correct LO if they call an aunt or uncle something that the aunt or uncle would prefer them not be called?
2 examples: My friend/LO Godmother, HATES 'auntie' so I try to get him to say Aunt K. But I'm not gonna lie sometimes I think it's easier for kids to throw the "ie" on the end. But whatever, she hates 'auntie k' so I try to get him to say aunt (although he doesn't say either at the moment) ...my nieces/nephew call me auntie nay and I love it.
This weekend my LO called my brother Uncle Pookie. His name is very ethnic, adults can't pronounce it so no way a child could... And I think it's so funny, because he a 6 ft + guy very built, and we will call him pookie now.
Do you ask people what they want to be called? Or just whatever flows? Like your and SO's good friends, are they "Bob" or "Mr. Bob" or "Uncle Bob"
Re: S/O name calling question
What do you do about introducing to people, like not an acutal family member but just a good friend of yours. Do you do the "mr/mrs" or the "uncle/aunt" or just "first name" ?

What I meant by that is I'm not going to correct my child if they call someone auntie and that person just doesn't like the sound of it. When I introduce someone I say "this is mr/Mrs. blah blah blah or this is aunt/uncle so and so".
