What happen to having manners? Seriously did people just forget to teach a whole generation? Not only manners but all courtesy! Sometimes I feel like my family is so different from people around us.
When we go to someone's house whether it be a friend or family's we do our best to help them out. When we go to my hubby's grandparents house we cook them dinner, clean the kitchen and make sure there house is at least as clean as when we got there. We also do anything that we can that might be helpful. Cut the grass, fix things around their house, and just general talking with them.
We do this pretty much anywhere. We try to make sure that if someone else has invited us into their home that we make sure that we show them that we appreciate everything that they do for us.
Not only that but we incorporated manners into our own house. When Rex is done with dinner we make sure that he takes his dish to the sink, puts his napkin in the trash, puts his drink in the fridge and pushes in his chair at the table. These basic manners at home need to be taught so that he knows when he is at someone else's house he is to help out.
I really struggle watching people of all ages just disrespect people of all ages. I know the general rule is to respect your elders but really shouldn't it be more like treat everyone with respect? I know that's what our goal as parents is to teach Rex.
Does anyone else see this happening in their lives? How do you handle it? Right now I'm not handling to well and I just need to know that others see this too and how they handle this type of things.
