[QUOTE="nvts, post: 79982, member: 3814"] I consider manners to be a lost art. As most of you know I have two official difficult child's and one easy child/difficult child. The thing that cracks me up is when I remind them with "what do we say?", the number of people who tell me to leave them alone, it's "ok". Whaaaaat?!! Gimme a break, common courtesy is a definate must! [img]:rolleyes:[/img] The way I've explained it is: I have no idea what my kids will do as an adult, but whatever they do, they'll do it politely. For example: <span style="color: #6666CC">[b]They decide to rob a bank. The note will read as follows: "Excuse me for being any trouble, however there's a gun pointed at you, for which I apologize. Would you be so kind as to place all of the money in the bag and tie it closed, please! Thank you and have a wonderful day"[/b]</span> They may be robbers, but they'll be [b]POLITE[/b] robbers! [img]:smile:[/img] Thank you for listening and have a nice day! Beth [/QUOTE]
