I have told this story here before... We were vacationing in Costa Rica a few years ago for spring break. My son and I went to the swim up bar. There were 3 seats and an older (50's) lady was sitting in the middle one. She asked if she could move down to make room for us and my son (10) said, "No ma'am, we are just getting some drinks and then leaving" The lady said, "Are you sure?" and my son said, "Yes ma'am." She looked at me and said, "I don't think that I have ever been called ma'am in my life, including from my own children." I said,"Well ma'am, I am guessing you don't live in Texas." She was from New Jersey...

I typically use sir and ma'am with people I am not familiar with. Only time I had to use sir and ma'am with my parents was when I was in trouble. I wasn't a trouble maker. Trying to keep my son using sir and ma'am but at 4 its a constant battle. I respect my parents a lot more than saying sir or ma'am ever could. This 100%. I rarely use sir/ma'am with my parents, usually more with my mom. I don't see it as a respect thing with them. Now with every other human I do use yes sir/ma'am especially with students at school. What is so wrong with "yeah" is the word itself or the inflection of the voice?

But with trying to set an example for my son and his mother 50 feet away....

If my Son's forget their manners, they get a pop knot on their head. If my daughter's forget their manners, I do my best to scare them.

I always say sir or ma’am to most people older than me... I hang out with a few older guys that don’t like being called sir because it makes them feel old.

My daughter is 25 and my son is 20. They have always done us proud by consistently saying Yes/No Sir/Mam.
If anything, they are respectful!
