If anyone besides my closest friends call me hon/hun, it throws me back a bit. I don't let most terms of endearment bother me, unless they are used in a demeaning or snotty way. I try to take into account who is saying and the context used.
Last night, my daughter's friend's mother called me Mrs. I think she did it because she did not remember my first name. It sounded weird, even after 11 years of marriage.
