i'm sure u have extended that to his teachers in school too.
mumu woman.

Actually, when I was in Nigeria, my child's school prohibited that and It's a school ran by a Pentecostal church.

Even the pastor and wife are addressed as Mr and Mrs. Very wonderful rule

Tonto Dike is a nutcase

That's how an overzealous religious friend of mine said that she wouldn't allow people call her son Davido if his name is David.

Aunty Tonto, there's nothing wrong with a child calling an older male uncle or aunty, it's just that you grew up and realised its real definition and all of a sudden you feel all too knowledgeable and exposed to let your child commit something so erroneous (in your mind).

In our quest for civilization and adopting of foreign culture we are slowly eroding little (probably unspoken) values of our own, like the "Community raising a child". In such instance everyone is like family and because of such bonds you cannot go to your neighbour's house and call his mother "Ma"; it would seem disrespectful.

Well, I am sure you also called Churchill's mother "Mother-in-law" and not mom, since you want to be so formal. Which explains a lot, really.

For me, it is just your ego talking because I think koreans refer to "Uncles" (older males) as Oppa. Language is so flexible and as long as the other person gets the message I really don't think there is a need for changing.

Anyway, your child , your business.

I don't think anyone should see being called "ma" as being disrespectful. That is actually respect. Some people even expect to be called daddy/mummy even if they are not your parents.

I actually use "ma", "sir" for most older ones rather than aunty/uncle... mummy/daddy.
