[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well given some of the responses on here it does sound like some people do appreciate being sir'ed and ma'amed. Particularly if you are an older AA or someone from the south, I bet you would very much appreciate it. No, not every child has to say it but [b]I certainly don't think it's going to offend anyone if OP's children say it[/b]. And if it does offend you, then you need to find some bigger problems.[/quote] It actually does offend some people to be called sir and ma'am -- just as some people like being called sir and ma'am. And it is not polite to call somebody sir or ma'am if they don't want to be called sir or ma'am. [/quote] It offends them? Someone can have a preference to not be called or sir or ma'am without being offended by it, and they can tell the kids to just call them Janet or Bob. How do you figure someone is *offended* by sir or ma'am? Sounds like you are reaching.[/quote]
