Practicing the Unspeakable Vice of the Greeks

Hey, I'm Orbit! This all just a big mess of whatever I may be interested in. My only consistancy is spreading the gospel of Animorphs. Go read Animorphs. Currently making my way through critical role campaign two, I'd love to chat about it but no spoilers please!

When I think about American attitudes to parenting there's something that always comes to mind, but I don't know whether it's a real thing. All my life in American films and TV I've heard child characters addressing their dads as "sir" or being told off for not doing so.

Is that really a commonplace thing in American families, or is it just a shorthand way of showing that the character is a shitty dad?

There's still time to increase the sample size!
