re: Do You Teach Your Kids to Say "Ma'am" or "Sir" As a Sign of Respect?

I raised all of my children to be polite and respectful. I did not however raise them to say ma'am and sir because I travel a lot and it is not the norm outside of the south. All of my children travel/have lived abroad/didn't stay in the south so I am glad it is not a habit for them. I grew up with it as a habit and had to break it for my career so I did not think it was important to make my children do it.

Says the lady that LITERALLY has madam in her user name.
