I ask the friend to ask their parent.
:3
Whatever I like.
Depends if I know the parents or not. Sometimes it is "So-and-so's mom/dad" or "Mr./Mrs. X". When I know them well enough, it is by their first name.
I don't think I address them by their first name, I just act polite.
After all, my manners are very good.

Hey mr. Veazey.
a friend of my friend whose dad that is called her dad 'dad' and he got really mad xD it was a boy who did it, so that makes a little more sense xD
A common form of informal-yet-polite address down here is 'Mr/Miss/Mrs [first name]'. Little kids at church call me Miss Allison for example.
I address most people in a professional setting who are older than me with Mr. or Ms. I'm comfortable calling people by their first name outside a professional setting regardless of age.
I dunno, I think I just avoid it somehow.
Same here, until someone else establishes a standard. I feel pretty weird about it otherwise.Originally Posted by Sergeant Hartman
I avoid using names when possible. I do however call some of my friends mom's by first names, it's hard not to when I work with some of them and others I've known for so long it's really hard not to.
If it specifically calls for a time where I have to refer to them by name, I'll use 'Mr' or 'Mrs' Surname. Sometimes they'll say to call them by their name as is the way with my friend Mark's mum though my family have known her for about ten years now, in which case I'll call them their name. If I'm unsure, I'll just avoid it.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I call my good friends parents by their names, others i just kind of get out of having to call them anything
If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
Mr or Mrs Surname, usually - but once I've got to know the parent on a close basis, I'll go to first names if it seems right.
