Little Miss Annoyed.

OK moms of daughters, in particular, but everyone else too. Is it just me or is calling little girls "Miss [first name]" really weird. Please correct me so I can be less cranky. Or agree with me so I can feel righteous. Whatevs.

wait, do you all mean you say "No ma'am" to kids? Or teach kids to say "No Ma'am" to others?

To the kids, as a directive (instead of just "no" or "stop").

Sorry - when I read this in the thread, I thought it was a response to me! I don't mean to speak for Heather!

As a directive to her. We talked about teaching her to use "m'am" and "sir" with adults but in the end decided that we didn't like how it emphasizes the power imbalance between adults and kids.
