Is teaching kids to say “Yes sir” and “Yes ma’am” outdated—or is it simply teaching respect? On today’s episode of Back Yard Comedy, we jump into a conversation inspired by a video from Rickey Smiley about children, respect, and how we teach the next generation to interact with adults. Some people believe saying “sir” or “ma’am” is connected to slavery and represents an outdated way of thinking. Others believe it has nothing to do with slavery and is simply a basic form of respect, manners, and discipline. We discuss both sides of the conversation, including: 🔥 Is respect being taught to kids like it used to be? 🔥 Is saying “sir” or “ma’am” disrespectful, respectful, or just outdated? 🔥 Why do some people feel respect has disappeared? 🔥 Personal experiences where we felt disrespected 🔥 Why some people don't respect others 🔥 The difference between respect, fear, obedience, and control 🔥 Are parents responsible for teaching respect—or is society? 🔥 What should we expect from kids today? And, of course, we bring the Back Yard Comedy perspective—serious topics with a comedic twist. 💬 What do YOU think?
