Because they are the only ones in the world that can call you that. Makes them feel special.

In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

It's respectful (regardless of what you think).

Why does one call a Lieutenant Miller in the Army "Lieutenant Miller"?

Same answer... you earned your rank

Other than a description of lineage and how you relate to those in a "family tree", I can't see any other purpose in it.

Why not just get rid of uncle, aunt, cousin, grandparent descriptors as well?

My son calls me by both and I think its cool that way. My ex-wife will only let him use mom for her.

Military: you achieved something or did something that made you EARN a rank.

Just because you can put your unrpotected peepee in someone and get her pregnant doesnt mean you EARNED the title daddy just like you earn a rank in the military.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy.

Those commercials actually had a lasting impression on me since I was a kid and to this day I thoroughly respect parents who can be parents.

I think it's sweet and appropriate; it separates your immediate family from friends etc. Of course people call their siblings by their first names, but other than respect, it's part of family bonding. A term of endearment perhaps?

I want my future kids to call me mommy It's cute!

Wonder what would happen if the descriptor "mommy" and/or "daddy" turned into a derogatory slang, just like many other descriptors have when describing an individual and their relation to another.

Personally, I think "sir" is quickly becoming a derogatory term. It's a word often associated with imminent violence. Ie. "Sir, put your hands on your head NOW!"

Yea, I understand the "violence" part. I'm only 29, but if some little whipper-snapper refers to me as "sir" I want to beat the fuck out of them.

Because that's what we are. In the South, you are raised never to call ANYONE by their first name if they are older than you. Unless you add the repectful "Miss" or "Mr" in front of it and only if the older person requests it. For instance, I would be Miss Peaches. "Miss" applies if the woman is married or not if you use their first name.

If you don't want YOUR kids to call you Mom or Dad, that's up to you. My son used to call me by my first name when we were at events that had a lot of mothers there - if he said "Mom!" all the mothers turned to him ;)

The transformation from Mommy to Mom is always a tough one

I remember being at a dinner with my son and my mother. One of his friends came to talk to us and when they left said "Bye Ms. Smith". My mother said "Bye!". Then realized they were referring to me - it never dawned on her *I'D* be a Ms. Smith some day, lol!

The only time you call him "Lieutenant Miller" is if you are a Captain or higher.

If he outranks you, then you better call him "Sir"

Children call thier parents mom and dad, because human society is built around a social hierarchy. Your movement throught the system is associated with the adoption of titles so that even strangers can be informed of your social position and the role you play.

Educational entitlement allows one to achive status with names such as Proffessor or Doctor..etc....

Service ranks are such as Judge,Captain,Private,Officer

Social ranks are such as Sir,Mamm,Miss & Mother & Father,Chief, Priest(Father John)

The most important foundation a child learns is their role in society. As children get older and become more self aware of their impact and individualisms, they often might refer to their parents on a first name basis...but usually only at adulthood..and usually in a manner that depicts that they have realized that they are their parents equals...and might want to learn to know who their parents are as individual persons outside thier family role.

Children call you mother and father because you provide a service to them. You perform a role outside of your individual being. You can not be a father or mother without having children. Infact you will find most children who come from bad families, or whose father is never around much...will refer to that parent by first name basis....because he has not provided the service in which to be refered to in that manner.

At the begining its respect. At the end its respect. You carry it your whole way through life.

It is improper protocol for enlisted to call officers by thier rank.

If a sargent tells you to do something, the proper response is "Yes, sargent."

If an Captain tells you to do something, the proper response is "Yes, sir."

You call Lieutenant Miller "LT Miller" because you are required too. They are given respect due to their rank, not because of who they are.

Bad analogy.

How about because they are easy words to teach?

My first name is difficult for young kids to say, so they would have had to wait until they were 3 to address me
