[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's certainly not just a "slave thing." Plenty of parents do this, but it's more concentrated in the South. I'd let him take the lead on this, because with biracial (black) kids, he knows better than you how to raise them to be respectful in society.[/quote] Agree totally on the race aspect. I'm black and[b] I never grew up to say yes mam/sir to my parents but respect was still a very big part of my childhood. For example I was always taught to call any adult "miss" or "mister"[i]'[/quote] This is similar with Asians. They don't necessarily say, yes mam/sir with parents but must use respectful tone. It was considered rude to call parents' friends and other adults by just first name without using Ms/Mr before it. [/quote]
