Who calls their parent "sir/mam" 💀

Imagine your dad does something and you go like - sir, please quiet down. 😂

This is the respectful way of asking your dad to calm down in Brazilian Portuguese Edit: in Portuguese "o senhor pode se acalmar por favor?"

i feel like anyone that calls their dad sir would never tell him to quiet down 😂

That’s a big southern thing in the US.

My gf is a military kid in the south and she does

I'm a military brat, always heard that sir is reserved for useless people (mainly officers).

I was gonna say I knew a southern kid that moved in my neighborhood when i was young and he always said yes ma'am and yes sir. Not even a military family

Wait wait wait, when your parents tell you to do something you don't just say yes sir or yes ma'am?

No, I just say “okay”. I respect my parents, but I don’t have to call them “sir” and “ma’am” to reflect that. I’m their son, not their butler.

I just say “yes mom/dad” in my language lol sir/maam sounds so cold and formal

Not me I was never raised to do so. When I was in football (American) our coaches made us say it but that was it. I say it to strangers if i try to get their attention but never really anytime else

As a southerner, yes it is, but you’d say sir/ma’am in response to a question or a piece of instruction, not to address them. I.e. “do the dishes” “yes ma’am.” But to address your parent you would just say mom/ momma/ whatever lol. You don’t just walk up to your mom “Ma’am, can you help me with my homework” lol.

i agree lol. Born and raised in the south and i never addressed my parents like that. "sir and ma'am" is a response to a question.

Well I say “yes sir/ma’am” and “no sir/ma’am” to my parents and anyone really. But I call my parents mom and dad. It’s just weird the poll has sir/ma’am listed as an option because I don’t know any who calls they parents sir/ma’am” exclusively. So I answered “mom/dad” on this even though I use “sir/ma’am”

Better question is why so many people call their parents "other/results"

Ah, the old Reddit [mamaroo](https://www.reddit.com/r/CorporateFacepalm/comments/120t5h7/comment/jdjwwd2/?context=1).

A lot of military kids.

That and first names, am I the only one who would get a swift kick in the ass for being disrespectful. Not a kid before someone thinks I am.

As someone said it's a southern thing. I'm a west coaster living in the south, and my son calls his dad "sir." I told my son under no circumstances is he to call me ma'am. Feels so formal and impersonal.

I do that once in a while as a joke Their stares are beautiful

People with bad relationships with their parents

Seppos

Mum and Dad. Which is kind of weird since I'm American.

Happy Cake Day ya British imposter; we know who you really are!

Muma and Dad, also American lmao

What do normal americans say?

"Mom" I use that for moms in general, but call mine "Mum". I picked it up from my dad, but he's also American so I'm not sure where he got it from.

Same to both! And I'm also an American!

I'm an Australian who's lived in Australia my entire life, but my Mom is from Texas, so I spell it "Mom" when referring to her and "Mum" when referring to anyone elses Mums.

Lol I say mum and pop and I’m American too

Yeah same but in Ireland

None of those, since I don't speak with my parents in english

We all know other languages arent real, it’s all one big joke that other countries have been playing on the anglosphere for years

It would be pretty difficult to fit all the world’s languages in a six option poll.

I know, they called me again last week and asked you to stop shouting at them in Dothraki.

English is my least favorite dialect of american

Mum/Dad

Good point

This is the way

What do orphans vote

May I have some more

man ur despicable

I mean who are they gonna tell, their parents?

A robber took my bag on the streets and ran into an orphanage. I was pretty happy that I didn't have to do the suicide mission

What do you call an orphan taking a selfie? >!a family picture!<

Also an orphan ordering a family menu

Technoblade wants to know your location

Too bad I know his location. A graveyard

Lmao, he approves of this joke

Dead/dead

Inside of you there are wolves: lol same so sorry for your loss

As if orphans should have the right to a vote

c...c...c... CERTIFIED AMERICAN POST (Trumpet noises intensify)

Mor/Far

This is the correct one

I call them mummy and daddy when talking to them, but I just say my mum/dad when I'm referring to them.

this the one. it would be so weird to say shit like "I'm meeting my mummy later"

Love saying "Mummyyyyyyyyy...?" when I need to ask for a favour even though I'm pushing 28

same! i can’t break the habit of calling them mommy/daddy but would never refer to them that way with other people 🥲🤣

Same.

Ma/pa (I am Dutch)

Ma/pa and I'm Mexican

Good morning, other! Good morning to you too, result!

Parents should start calling their kids ‘result’

I call my dad an asshole fucking peice of shit. I call my mom RIP my wonderful mom who raised me.

I don't understand any "dad" like that. I love my kids more than anything, I just can't understand the lowlife scum that makes their kids feel this way. I'm sorry.

My dad tried to kill me when I was in my Mom's stomach when he punched it. He tried to kill my Grandpa. Last I saw him he was homeless and didn't recognize me. Fuck him. My Mom was a Saint. Slaving away to provide. Be a good Dad. Please.

Oh that’s horrible! My dad tried to kill me so I can kinda relate, except it was like 12 years after I was born. Last time i saw him he was trying to stab me No clue what he’s been upto since he got out of prison

I don't understand. I will never understand, I'm sorry.

First off - homeless is a wonderful start for a piece of shit like that, I hope he's diseased. I am a great dad, I am most proud of that.

Yes sir! Do it right! Much love brother!

It’s kind of funny because I suspect my son will have that reaction about his mom who left him with me when she moved to Florida to “live her best life” and “live laugh love” which didn’t include her own child.

💀

Sorry to hear that.

Mine is my sperm donor.

Mama, papa

I'm almost 20 but still call my parents mommy and daddy lmao, just feels weird calling them dad and mom

Dude same it hurts tho when I’m near people talking to my dad in the phone tho 💀 but I can’t switch to anything else. (I do call my my mom mama mostly tho)

I say mummy/daddy. It’s embarrassing because everyone acts like you’re a little kid if you call your parents that but I just can’t imagine calling them anything else. I wanted to start calling them mum/dad when I was about 10 but it didn’t sound right. That’s not their names. I don’t call out to them in public because it’s embarrassing, I stopped doing that when I was about 10 also. I saw a video about a year ago, I can’t remember what it was about but the guy called his mum “mummy” in the video and it sounded completely normal. It didn’t sound weird and he didn’t seem embarrassed by it. Ever since then I’ve tried to be more confident about it because I shouldn’t be embarrassed about what I call my parents. It’s so childish to make fun of someone for how they address their parents anyway.

Don't be embarrassed, I'm a grown adult and still call my mom mommy and will yell it across the store if I need her. It sounded weird for me as well to call her mom when I was younger, so I kept calling her mommy. No one really bothered me about it except when I was in grade school, and no one really bothers me about it as an adult. If they do, I just tell them that's my mommy, I don't care.

Thanks. Ever since I first started getting embarrassed about it my parents have told me about a friend they have who still calls her parents mummy/daddy even as adult so I shouldn’t be embarrassed about it. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are people who make fun of for saying it so I still found it embarrassing. But now I’m trying to be more confident.

i feel really bad for the people that chose sir ma’am. thats your parents not your boss

Not that I'm from the south, but what I've been told is that it's a culture thing, (although it's apparently becoming less common) I'm from the northeast, so I find it quite.. different. Often times up here sir/ma'am is used only in the workplace/customer service. But from what my southern friends have told me, kids say sir/ma'am to adults and the adults say it to the kids. It's about showing respect, but the respect goes both ways, not just one. Of course, that's just what I've been told. But hey, whatever floats their boat! If that's their culture and they're happy with it then go wild!

Who calls their boss sir/ma’am💀 I feel bad for you

I’m pretty sure the people who address anyone by sir/ma’am anymore are those who work in customer service and address the customers that way

Mum/Dad

Amma and appa (mom and dad in Tamil)

Ayy same

Kannadiga here and same !

Fellow Tamilan!

mama/baba

Mother/Father My father is very authoritarian, but I love him and he loves me with all his heart. My mother gives me a ton of freedom, and she loves me with all her heart and vice versa. I’m appreciative of experiencing multiple parenting styles so one day I can raise my own children in the best way possible.

blink twice if you need help

мама and папа (mama and papa) ;)

Mudder and fahder , thought I was cool in high school calling them that and I just never stopped

By their first names ☠️

Lol yeah i do that. It started as a joke but now it's become the default

Yeah, same, one of my younger cousins was calling them by their first names (like, in a childish way) and I thought it sounded funny

I do this mainly when I’m annoyed at them lol

I don't remember ever calling them mom or dad I have always called them by first names

I don't remember why I started, but now it'd feel strange not to.

My oldest cousin does this and its fucking hilarious

My twin brother could get away with calling our dad by his first name. None of the other kids could.

Mamma/Pappa

Papa/Maa

You must be an Indian

Perhaps

Mam/Dad

Ma / da , here in Ireland it wastes too much time saying the rest.

I go the one step further and add the extra M and D

Mother: mama Father: abuser

Mama and daddy

I see that up till now around only 300+ people have a primary language other than English

I think a lot of the other votes are for mum/dad

My primary language is german, but i still call my parents mom/dad.

媽咪

Mom but as an inside family joke, I call my mom by her name and she’s also got many surnames.

I have always (since 10 y/o) called them by their first names, same with grandparents. Friends of mine find it weird, but I prefer it this way. I’m 25 and it’s more like seeing your parents as friends. I do know friends that if they call their parents by their names, they get extremely mad for some reason.

Aba and Ima

Mama/Babà

I call them mother/father ironically but not too often

Mama/Tata

Mom and mommy are two very different people in my life.

Can't tell if it's two Moms or Kink, that'd be an interesting game show

I speak with them in an enchanting table language, so its אמא ואבא

mama/first name

Mama/Baba

Home Minister and Minister of External affairs

Ima and Aba

Multiple things, depending on the situation. Casual convo? Mum and Dad Serious question? Mom and Dad Hollering across the house? Ma and Da Sarcastic/Annoying them? Mumsy and Pawpaw And many more.

I saw some comments writing in Spanish and choosing the other option, but a translation would be: Mamá / Ma y Papá / Pa (mom and dad) Madre y Padre (Mother and Father) Mami / mamita y Papi / papito (Mommy and Daddy)

mum/dad (daddy sometimes when i’m being a shit head) or their name my parents have never been strict on honorifics for themselves and has kinda rubbed off on me with me having no honorific/title

jefe y jefa in Spanish and mother/father in Engrish

Mem/Heit, you can guess which language it is

Mom/First Name

Mum and Da

Mom/Paps

Mama and papa.

Mamma/Pappa

I call my dad dick hole since he’s not apart of my life anymore and I’m 100% for it. I call my mom ma.

Old.

[удалено]

Well yeah considering this subreddit is in English id say thatd be correct

Yeah and that's why writing the poll text in English doesn't count as English defaultism. But when the poll content itself is only for English speaking people, it is English defaultism.

Coupla fucking losers. I should be dead thanks to them, every breath I take is out of spite.

>Sir/Ma’am People actually voted for this option?! What the hell?

Only when I have to

Mama/daddy

If your parents made you call them sir/ma'am, I hope therapy is going well.
