My uncles and aunties used to complain about us to our parents said that they didn't teach us manners, eeeeeeeee... geramnya... even my father doesn't like to call his uncles aunties with their "title", he sees them just nod only and he just refer or call his siblings their name, he's the youngest. Even my late grandma have to correct me on how to call my aunties or uncles as I always called them "aunty" or "uncle"(my mom teach me one :P) ahahah instead of "dua em", "ji em" etc. My parents really didn't teach me at all summore my mom isn't a Chinese, it's my relatives that tought me. Hahahah... Hmm... For me, it's no big deal. I would prefer my sibling to call me using my name instead of those.
