re: Kids Calling Parents Sir and Ma'am

The downfall of society was seeded long ago by prog wanna-be parents bucking traditional methods and turning out useless infants. Teenage babies who were raised considering themselves peers to Mom and Dad, and above everyone else outside of that unit.
Yeah, a little humility would've been a ggod idea folks.
Look at these assholes in DC today:
The Constutution didn't give ME what I wanted, so let's NOT Follow It Anymore!
(And destroy our local businesses and steal shite becuz we mad and gonna get ours)

I'll accept "Yes daddy."
I won't accept "Yeah" or "What?"
I prefer sir and ma'am and get onto my daughter about it.
Don't really care if people think manners are weird.

At least you're proud of spanking your kids

I went to our local Dairy Queen and there were six young men who attend our local high school (which is 98% black). They said they had just gotten out of football practice. They said "yes, sir" and "no, sir" in response to some questions I asked them.

Do you teach them about the war of northern aggression too?

"Dad" is my name (or what they call me) to them.
The same here, except I called him Daddy as a kid. I always answered my mom "Yes/No m'am" and my dad, "Yes/No sir" as a child. Pretty much do now too, except for when my mom is annoying me. Then I say, "No, Mother."

I am sure some will disagree and make it something it isn't. The downfall of the American society will continue at a rapid rate. It personally scares the shite out me with my kid in the future being exposed to society. However that will not knock me off the course of raising her right even if society doesn't fully accept or understand.
Have a cheer, sir.

come to England and say yes/no maam or yes/no sir here and they laugh at you...
That being said - if you don't say Yes, please or No, Thank You - you ain't getting shite, from parents or otherwise.

Is this a southern thing?
Posted on 1/21/17 at 2:17 pm to OleWarSkuleAlum
Not a huge deal for me, wasn't for us growing up. Our words were to be of integrity and our actions towards others were expectable to be respectable. If I ripped off my dads truck one night and brought it back with a huge dent and he said are you responsible for that? And I told him yes sir I'd still be grounded for a month without a cell phone either way. But I didn't know my dad til high school so we've always had more of a friend vibe which is awesome personally. Mom would reach back and slap tf out of me if I had any bs with me that day!

I wonder how many people ITT call their superiors at work "sir."

You are teaching them to respect authority. You know what your kids need better than anyone else. Your kids will be similar to you in many ways and different in their own unique ways. You know what you needed as a child. They will need similar instructions you needed. Sometimes we did not receive what we needed as a child, and we know it.
Our society has children being raised that do not respect authority or have good manners.
Remember, you are forming habits within your children. Whatever you teach them will form a habit. Whatever you do not teach them will form a different habit.
If you teach them to pick up their toys after playing with them, they will form that habit. If you DO NOT teach them to pick up their toys after they play with them, you are forming a different habit.
You have to decide what habit they need, then help them form the habit through repetition.
If they say, "Yes, sir or yes, daddy to you that is fine. If they say, yes, no, or ok to you and it is permitted they are developing a disrespectful habit.
It is very difficult for a person to love one they do not respect. Yes, sir is an act of respect. Continue to tech them how to respect you and others so their love within themselves can grow.

Parents who force their children to say "sir or ma'am" have a superiority complex. You should train your kids, however, to respond that way to non-relatives up to a certain point. At 27, I stopped saying those words to pretty much anyone that's not over the age of 70.

fricking why?
If they're doing what you tell them to do, how is that disrespectful? They're not using a pronoun at all. It's not like they're using your first name or saying, "Yes, asshat"

Grew up calling my parents sir/ma'am.
Still use the terms to this day to be respectful in general.
My kid will say sir/ma'am.
The end.

Seems you did good OP. I guess I could have started getting mine to say sir or ma'am earlier. I started getting them to in 1st grade
