It's too formal for home use in my opinion.

I was always raised on mom and dad for my parents but sir and ma'am for any other older adults, including relatives

Our kids call us mom answer dad.
When the question "do you understand?" is asked there are 2 answers.
Yes sir/ma'am
No sir/ma'am
One of mine tried to test me when she was a teenager, after a couple whippings she figured it was better to do it my way.

I've said yes sir/yes ma'am for as long as I can remember. "When I say jump all you ask is how high." is the type of parenting I got. I still say sir/ma'am to this day no matter who it is. Kids loving being called sir/ma'am.

You are one of those people who want to be best friends with their kids.. so when they are teenagers.. they are "free range" teens...

I was raised to say ma'am and sir but I don't have my kids do it only because it's considered weird where I live (Washington state).

And I didn't use that towards my parents, I would. My dad hated the term "sir".
"People have a first name for a reason. Use it. If they are so stuck up that they don't like it, they can change their first name to sir or ma'am."
Never stopped me though for using that term for other people.

It's simple......called RESPECT for your elders. It is a way of teaching values. Anyone who has an issue with this needs their head examined.
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.

You "whipped" your teenage daughter?

But in truth I think that you are lying, and your kids don't respond to every question and end every sentence with sir/ma'am because you think that it displays some kind of special image.
In truth I think that you're making stuff up, putting words in my mouth. I never said that my kids end every sentence with sir/ma'am. I also don't see it as an action demonstrating formality or fear. I DID say it's used as a sign of respect, which I think is very important in a parent/child relationship.

My kids say yes sir and also call me dad.

Your kid will respect your authority.
Back hand them kids that don't end every sentence with yes sir.
If that doesn't work put them out on the street.
Kids will come to realize you needed constant stroking of your own ego. They can discern appropriate times to make such acknowledgements and still respect their parents.

I was raised in a "sir" and "ma'am" household and that's what the Fütlettes and all their peers did.
Slight detour, now with the blurring of identities, how's a seven year-old supposed to address with respect a transgendering person?
Ma'ir?
Si'am?
I'm hopeful MAGA will put a lid on this nonsense.

I'm a grown arse man and still call my parents sir/ma'am.
It's not a dominance/subordination issue. It's a respect issue

Sorry man, you really don't have to always say yes sir if you're a grown man. You can, but you don't have to.
Posted on 1/21/17 at 12:21 pm to OleWarSkuleAlum
You have your kids call you sir? That's weird. Do you spank them as well?

Sir and Ma'am to non-family adults is the way go.

At that age I think it's a bit young to be searing "sir" and "ma'am" into their brains. Let them be kids and enjoy the time when their little.
Now when they get older (8-10), have at it. My parents trained me well.
