She's Chinese, boyfriend is Chinese, but apparently saying, "Hello Aunty" or "Hello Mrs. Wong" just isn't a thing for this generation.
The mom said it's a little weird, but she doesn't think it's a huge deal, but her husband hates it. I guess kids these days are brought up a different way.
I have two young boys and they have always been taught to say hello aunty or hello uncle. Kind of weird this generation doesn't do that.

my buddy's kids that ive known since they were 5 and 7 still calls me M___哥哥, they are now 16 and 18. i love it!
on the other hand...
i was at dim sum with my parents awhile back and we bumped into one of my mom's friend and her family. her son has to be in his late 20s if not 30s, totally gives me 裙腳仔 (mama's boy) vibes. his mom tells him to 叫人 (say hi) and he calls me 哥哥 and i was like da fuck u call me
