No. I am so rarely ever called Mrs. Lastname.

We are relatively formal, where I live.Just yesterday, I happened to meet my son's mother-in-law, and her sister, at the grocery store. I hadn't met this sister before, so son's MIL introduced me as "Mme.A."Sometimes my son's MIL and I first-name each other, but more usually, I'd call her Mme. Jacqueline (her first name), and she calls me Mme.Jean.(should add, she is the nicest of women, and fond of my son, as he is of her.)

It must be a difference between Canadians and Americans. I can't imagine Americans doing that. Even my friends' children didn't call me Mrs. Lastname. They called me Miss Janice.

Well, Canada is a big country, and I only know well the particular corner that I've lived in, for most of my married life. So, I can't speak for the whole country! :-)
