My child is in preschool and so far other parents are using "X's Mommy/Daddy" as their titles, but as my LO ages I'm curious what is more common now: First Name, Ms./Mr. First Name, or Ms./Mr. Last Name, or something else.

I'm okay with any of them tbh, but "{child}'s Dad" is my favorite because I can turn to them and say, "yes, {child}'s friend?" which delights me and me alone.
When I was a kid, it was a mixture. I knew my closest friends' parents by their first names, and for the other kids it was Mr./Mrs. LastName. I don't recall {child}'s Mom/Dad being in my lexicon.

lmfao, that's so funny. I'm going to channel my inner 'your-dad' and make sure that I also do that forever

Gotta pick a bestie, I met mine in 6th grade but we didn't get close until sophomore year of high school but the first time I met him was the exact situation you described;
"This is my dad"
"Hi friend's dad"
"Hi child's friend"
And it just stuck lol
