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

Yes. In fact, I'm in my early 30s, and my friends and I have now reached the age where it's socially appropriate to start calling each other's parents by their first names only without the Mr. or Mrs. in front and it's just weird. It feels so disrespectful. Sometimes I still use the prefix depending on the setting.
But I will always say yes, ma'am or yes, sir to them and my parents. My mom would give me hell for days if I answered her with "yeah."

I am a bit older than you, but I still can't bring myself to leave off the "Mr." and "Ms." when talking to friends parents or my in-laws. I can just picture my Dad scowling 'That's MR. JIM to you, boy."
