[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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[b] it's very slave like lingo to me.[/b] As if you are saying "yes sir, master." Your take?[/quote] Geeze, if teaching children to be polite and respectful is 'slave like lingo, we're really hitting bottom.[/quote] OP here. Sorry, just my take on it because I never heard children say this in real life. We are both born and raised in dc[/quote] I was born and raised in DC. I grew up saying "Yes, sir," and "Yes, ma'am," and that was reinforced when I went to a Big 3. All adults were to be addressed as sir and ma'am and called Mr. or Mrs./Ms. and their last name. I consider it a sign of respect and politeness. [/quote]
