[quote=Anonymous]My DH is also from the south and initially thought he wanted to enforce the sir/ma'am with our kids. But then I pointed out how, when we were visiting his family, his sister was constantly correcting her kids on this. And this was in an area where sir/ma'am was pretty common and the teachers apparently reinforced it at school. And they still needed to be reminded constantly for years (I will say now they are teens and it is pretty automatic). I was like, how on earth would I remember to remind our kids all the time, and most of their peers would not be doing this. Turns out he really had no interest in enforcing it either, I think he expected me the northerner to do it (ha!!) so he dropped it. I focus on please/thank yous.[/quote]
