I think we need parents more when we are adults. Or maybe we need them all the time and I think I need them more now because I am in the present. I definitely know that I recognize and acknowledge this need more as an adult.
As for the ma'am thing, I am 29, and I get angry when someone calls me "Miss". I think (but I don't say out loud yet) "Call me ma'am dammit, I am old enought to be your mama. Show some respect!" I actually had the same reaction when this grey haired older bus driver said "Miss" to me.
