ujm >> do you utilize “ma’am” with your female immediate family as you do “sir” with your male immediate family

good question, maybe this: Torah imeha v’musar aviha and kibed et …? Musar may be more associated with discipline and hierarchy, so “sir” would be appropriate. Our attitude towards mothers is different, so maam may be less appropriate.
