[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband grew up very old fashioned. He is African American. I grew up in a very laid back household. I am white. Husband wants children to say, "yes sir" and "yes mam." I find it very odd and weird because it's very slave like lingo to me. As if you are saying "yes sir, master." Your take?[/quote] Um, no. We don't do this. It's so odd and overly formal. I see it as part of the "children should be seen and not heard" mindset. We don't abide that either. All people are deserving of respect and courtesy, kids and adult. I see no reason to give special respect to adults.[/quote]
