Oh my goodness Kate....thank you for something so well said. I just wish there were more parents like you. I too feel that lack of manners is our destruction....why our jails are so full and crime so high. We don't teach to respect others things and other people.
Teach...I agree with Kate...your kids are very well mannered. When you son rode with us to eat last Saturday everything he answered with was Yes maam or no maam...how awesome. I'm sure they little varmits at times but that's what I like in a kid....knows how to have fun....but still knows when they need to show respect. You should be proud of your boys Teach and mom. By the way...they must be a chip off of mom...LOL
Teach did not teach them that his wife did
At any rate, they sure did say 'yes sir' to daddy when he told them what to do, instead of arguing like I see every other child nowadays do. Until, the parent gets fed up and does it themselves. I jokingly tell my children 'That's the reason I had you, to help me with whatever I need.' Of course, that is not the only reason, and my daughters know this.
Edited to add
My friends and I also do not hesitate to tell each others kids they are wrong in their behavior and they need to straighten up. I grew up with the saying 'It takes a village to raise a child'.
Off of the serious note: I just went outside and it is already feeling a little warmer. At least here it does, just a briskness, but not really any breeze so you can feel the sunlight on your face and it feels good!
Just had to come in and turn some eggs and warm the hands, because I am still transferring out of the deep freeze from workshop into deep freeze in house. Brrrrrrr! I think one more trip will get her done!
