This made me smile and…
…that’s rare for me at least.

Boyfriend’s parents want me to call them Dr.
Advice Received
I met my boyfriend's dad and step mom last week. They're dentists. They introduced themselves to me by just their first name, but when I asked my boyfriend what I should call them, he asked his dad and his dad said to just call them "Dr. FirstName." I feel this is a bit odd considering I am not their patient, colleague, or student. For some reason, I'm okay with saying Mr. or Mrs., but Dr. is weird to me. His brother told me they referred to the step mom as Dr. FirstName for about four years, which I find bizarre. Who makes their significant other's kids call them Dr.?
I haven't brought it up to my boyfriend because it's not a big enough deal to put a strain on our relationship over, but my friends and family all find it extremely odd and pretentious of them to want to be called Dr. in a social setting. I haven't called them anything so far; I've just avoided using their names. Thanks :)
