When you'd hear it
These endings sound warm and intimate, and are commonly used by older people to children or younger family members. They may appear in family scenes and dramas, but can sound old-fashioned or folksy in ordinary adult conversation.
What learners get wrong
Unlike -(으)세요, this is not a neutral polite command for strangers or coworkers. It signals affectionate senior-to-junior speech, so use -(으)세요 when the relationship is not intimate or clearly hierarchical.
