I have many friends with children I never met. They live in different parts of the country. I don't think I will be sending a gift for my friend's son's 50th birthday.

To each their own, I guess... I have neighbors kids call me Mr. my first name... and they call my wife, Mrs. her first name - only because our last name gets mispronounced all the time and instead of correcting them, it's easier for them to call us by our first name - WITH THE MR or MRS first!
I have friends who have kids who call us their 2nd set of parents - 2nd mom or 2nd dad - and in some cases, call us uncle and aunt... I find that to be a level of love, respect and would never find it low class as you've stated. But, you're allowed your opinion as I am allowed mine - just because your ideas aren't equal with mine doesn't give me the right to call you low class... no matter what your views are.
