In the last year or so, I've seen them mature more than I expected. I've decided that, now, as long as they say yes or no (versus yeah or nuh-uh) that I can accept that. I find that they still say ma'am and sir most of the time anyway though, out of habit. I encourage and expect them to say sir and ma'am to other adults though. This has worked okay so far...random road mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957773271646653295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243983286142568972.post-31004643017329664452011-04-28T17:59:39.649-07:002011-04-28T17:59:39.649-07:00In Austin, Texas I think that most people are poli...In Austin, Texas I think that most people are polite. I mean, I do encounter sometimes people who are not very happy, but for the most part they are polite. What I actually have a problem with is some of the kids' manners. Like interrupting when adults are speaking or participating in a conversation like they are adults. I don't like that. When adults are speaking, children need to go somewhere and play.<br /><br />I didn't grow up saying sir or m'am, but one time a friend of mine told me that she heard a kid speaking like that and I LOVED IT. So I ask my daughters to say sir and M'am, too. Just like Gallivant Family.Marizahttp://myownversion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243983286142568972.post-88515384861013346062011-04-28T10:31:38.841-07:002011-04-28T10:31:38.841-07:00Agreed.

I love it.Gallivant Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774173662044817656noreply@blogger.com
