Some parents demands that whenever they call their children, that they should answer them by saying Sir/Ma as mark of respect while in some cases you will hear children answering yes daddy/mummy when their parent calls them.

Well for me sha, I see the Sir/Ma as too strict for parent and children relationship, while others might see it as normal and they are OK with it, what is your take on it, sir/ma or yes daddy/mummy, which is preferable?

Sir/Ma

i think one can use both. but it also has to do with how formalor informal u want to be with ur parents. for example i can use yes mummy or ma for my mother, but i only say sir to my father.
yes is more to closeness, while sir/ma is more to respectect and formality

Yes daddy/mummy. Sir/ma is for the kpakos.

i
grew up sayin "yes mummy" and "sir" and i found out i was closer 2 my
mum than dad,anyway,"yes mummy/daddy" sounds nicer than"sir/ma"

I just say 'yes'. No time

You guys can ask the most trivial questions here. Nairaland is on a serious nose dive.

I dare not say Sir whenever my dad calls, he doesn't like it and he will always tell us he is not a sir to us but a daddy. Team yes daddy and yes mummy. Why I go even talk say Sir sef shey na my boss or teacher he be wey I go say Yes sir.

Depends if you are an aje butter or A KPAKORORO!

I was just training my toddler same etiquette... Everytime we call her she answers 'yes!' (Wetin) Nah we don't do that around here ... So , Yes Daddy/Mummy anytime.

"Sir" for your father? What are you, in the Military?

I don't remember "teaching/telling" my brood but they all goes " Yes mom or mom".
I frankly am not bothered.
