Cullen and Katie: Brooks Baby Part 5

[taylormorris918]

I'm sorry but I'm over talking about how they act. From the very beginning of their vlogs they've acted that way, gained their following that way, so why change now? They're going to change to please the 8 year olds that shouldn't be watching their videos in the first place. I'm an adult and they are the only family vloggers I can stand because they act like real adults.

It's disrespectful in the south to not respond to an adult as "ma'am" or "sir." parents and teachers are very strict. It's second nature once a child is around 5.

I grew up in the south to non-southern parents and got reprimanded by an adult for being "rude" because I responded yes to a question and not yes ma'am. My parents were so shocked when I told them bc they knew I was always respectful of my elders

On the flip side, I moved to Ohio for college and when I said yes ma'am to an RA she got annoyed and said she's not a ma'am because she's not old lol! Silly regional differences.

I was living in California and took a temporary position at a hospital in Texas, and gas station attendants and other service workers called me ma'am, and I had the same reaction. "I'm not old!" And then I figured out that it was regional.

I'm Canadian, but always use Sir and Ma'am. People do get offended, but it's a respect thing for me. I use it formally. I don't use it on my friends and family, only strangers or people I see professionally.

My daughter has picked it up, but she hasn't figured out which is male and which is female LOL makes for some interesting exchanges.

I'm southern but not as far East as c&k. I was raised to say ma'am/sir but never really did. It feels so submissive to me. I use please, thank you, and excuse me to be respectful. Those are gender and age neutral and feel more appropriate for the times.

Especially because you don't want to be wrong! Being gender neutral is just a better idea these days!
So, so glad that Brooks is done with the lights and can wear his cute outfits and get lots of cuddles! I loved that place Cullen took Gaines! The Seattle Children's Museum is a lot like that, and my kids loved it when they were little!

Personal:
I'm originally from CA but living in Mississippi for the time being. I learned real quick, especially being a server, to basically call everyone sir or ma'am. I even call kids that (sometimes I think it makes them feel more special.)

My grandma is originally from FL and has always basically been Miss Manners. Since moving here, I told her that my future kids will make her so happy because they'll be taught those southern manners.

Also off topic but I am also a server and I learned pretty quickly that men LOVE being called sir and I am ok with exploiting that in order to get tips

I live in the Midwest and while I never grew up saying Yes mamn and Yes sir to my parents I definitely do to store clerks, fast food workers etc. I'm not sure where I picked it up. Sometimes the high school kids at sonic get weirded out by it haha

[RootBeerFloatie]

I'm southern and I hate sir/ma'am. It used to make me feel inferior as a child and I've always been under the mindset that people need to earn my respect because I don't owe them that automatically. I've had people flip out on me for not saying it to them and that just pisses me off even more.

People who can't stand "yeah" as an answer need to get the fuck over themselves

[S_tine05]

I am in a completely different country but worked retail for years so if I need to get passed someone or want to greet someone I still use mam and sir sometimes get strange looks because the person is my age lol

[iheartyt]

I'm in SC and I use sir and ma'am when its appropriate. But it boils my blood when certain family members demand for my children to address them that way. Thats not how it works. You don't demand respect, you earn it. And it's not just for old people! Heck, I've even said it to my own children. That's how it becomes second nature. You have to model good manners.

[Playsinrain]

I was taught yes sir no mam as a child and i taught my kids that as well. Its never felt demeaning or strange to me, just second nature. I will say that my kids say it in public more than at home. I don't expect them to answer me and their father that way (unless they are in trouble then they do it without asking lol) but i do expect more than a yeah and thank you, please, excuse me ect.. Ive been called m'am since i was a teen, its just normal to me. My son has also been taught to hold open doors(for anyone at any time) , pull out chairs for dates, open/close car doors, stand when his date returns to the table, classic southern gentleman moves... (he's had a couple formal dances that he has attended with a date that we went over all this and expect him to do these things) its all things that I think, at least here in the part of the south that i live in, are expected behaviors from all.

Seeing Brooks on that light was pitiful.. I had no idea that he had to be on it pretty much 24/7 until she explained it in the vlog. It broke my heart to know that they couldn't hold and snuggle him all day long!!! It does make me wonder if it will help him sleep more independently now.. I know my daughter wouldnt sleep well unless she was held when she was tiny. I wonder if being left "alone" for those few days will help him be able to sleep in his own bed easier. IDK if that makes sense.. lol

[usernamessuck]

That makes sense, and it might. Personal: My youngest nieces was in the NICU, and she sleeps much better than the older one because she was left alone, and only held for feedings. So, it might help Brooks.

Interesting that it helped your nieces! I guess in at least that instance it did help. Both my kids were rocked to sleep every night, it was sweet and i loved it but it was also a pain bc we all know how that transfer from arms to bed goes. I wish mine had been more independent sleepers and i was able to rock them, read them a story and put them in bed awake for them to fall asleep on their own. If i were C&K i would totally continue to let him have that time "alone" when he is resting (not that you need the restriction of the bili lights to achieve this. i just feel like it would be easier in a way, bc you CAN"T hold the baby so much.. it that makes sense. Knowing that you should put him down and HAVING to put him down are two totally different things. lol)

I actually feel bad for Gaines. She seems... Not as happy as usual. I think she realizes that her parents are paying more attention to Brooks on camera. Idk, she just looked really sad in some parts of the vlog.

I haven't been able to watch the vlog yet, my wifi is shit and takes too long to load lol. But I have noticed that they keep saying Macey Gaines is "doing better" than the day before with him and comments like that. Yet on previous vlogs her behavior hasn't changed much. Maybe with this vlog they just left some of her new behavior in, either to showcase first hand how she's behaving rather than just make a comment on it later, or they just forgot to take it out/wanted it in. I don't know the context of what you're seeing but just my 2cents.

[lmmomSD]

She seems to like helping. But she's going to have an adjustment for sure. She's been the center of the universe miracle baby for almost 2 years. I thought it was great for Cullen to take her out for a special day. I think they are at least trying to help her adjust, and won't laugh at acting out like others. (cough, B&M, cough)
