[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's not "slave-like," it's Southern, and it's used to show respect. i also grew up in a laid back household and we don't use "sir" and "ma'am" though my husband's family is Southern. i wouldn't have agreed to it either, if my husband had wanted to, but it seems generally to be a hallmark of a more authoritarian parenting style that's not really for us. [/quote] I agree that is more Southern and can be more of an indication of an authoritarian style of parenting. It is also an indication of manners and respect and doesn't necessarily indicate an authoritarian household. It's not "slave-like" behavior, OP.[/quote]
