[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't think you realize how often they want them to say it. Like say you asked a question: Timmy do you want an apple? My DS might say "please I would like an apple, Grandmommy (that is how he speaks at three)" My MIL will say "yes, ma'am" DS walks around saying "yes sir, yes sir, three bags full! yes ma'am! and laughing" So it isn't like my son isn't being polite. Say I'm washing fruit and my MIL asks me how I want to cut it. I'll say "I'm cutting the fruit like X" She will correct me, "ma'am please cut the fruit like this" my husband NEVER calls his mom or dad "mom/dad" it is always militaristic and very formal, "sir/ma'am". And they are not a military family and FIL is from Philly. [/quote]
