You're just telling us that you still infantilize them in their grown age.
Wow, you are really showing your immaturity here.
Some folks believe in proper manners and some don't the choice is yours.

In fact, I find that parents who insist on their kids calling them sir and man even when they're grown arse adults to be weird and creepy.
And I find that no one needs insist that children raised to show this symbol of respect for their elders needs to be told to do as an adult.
We get it, you think it is cool to be irreverent and likely would weart shorts and a tanktop to a church wedding, the rest of us are just glad you self ID so there is no need to wonder.

Who judges what's proper manners here?
I've seen southerners call people mam and sir out west and up north and they looked at them like it was disrespectful as frick.
Why do you think the south has a monopoly on dictating what constitutes manners?

Now this is a passive aggressive melt.

I teach my kids proper manners. That does not include teaching them to say sir or ma'am because that isn't considered "proper manners" where we live. If anything, it causes others to think you're being sarcastic or just plain weird.
There is no universal definition of proper manners.
