Gatorubet;1792350; said:Which leads me to ask: do your kids say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" when speaking to adults, or do they do like my brother's kid from California used to do......say "Huh?" or not respond because his nose was in his Gameboy?
I ask this because my kids automatically say "Sir" and "Ma'am" like good little Southern raised kids (Example: "You got that lynch knot tied right there boy?" "Yes Sir....it will hold that Socialist even if he drops ten feet." ), and I notice that the practice is not so much universal anymore, and totally absent from most of my single parent kids.
My kids will. My daughter actually does surprisingly well for a 3 year old
I think it's a bit more than just saying yes sir or no sir. I think it's important for parents to build their kids up and instill a sense of pride in their kids too.
