MamaHog said:I agree with SD. We grew up calling the adults Mr. or Mrs. so and so. (and to this day, I call me high school friends' parents Mr. and Mrs.) I will only make my kids say ma'am or sir when they are in trouble and/or being disrespectful. Our son is in the 5th grade and one of the rules that they have is that they have to say ma'am and sir. I think it is a little extreme for them to require that. I do make my kids call adults Mr. or Mrs. either first or last name.
I bet it has more to do with her being a smart young lady.Jack Reacher said:Early on, yes with myself and Mrs. Reacher. Not so much with us now, but it caught on and Daughter Reacher answers others by that now. That's probably why she's no longer waiting tables, but working for a judge.

Yep, we're working on that with DS. I'm not sure how that got past us.mei lan said:I voted even though I don't have kids. I make sure my nephews know to behave like gentlemen. The 4yo is a whiz at opening doors for ladies.

However, her mom tells her she doesn't have to at their house (her mom divorced my son and is living with another man, and neither of them approve of the sir/ma'am approach). I just don't like the "huh?"

I can't stand that either! Or "yeah?" for that matter. We taught ours to say "yes?".Sungoddess said:Yes, and my boys still say it (grown adults) MOST of the time.
