Wondered what you have taught your children. Obviously "Please" and "Thankyou" but I have been touched and impressed by others children and worried that mine look like oafs.
What list of behaviours/manners do you insist on.
One child stayed back to thank me for dropping them at school whilst mine and the others just tumble out of the car and run off into the distance....I thought this was really sweet...and then worried that this childs parents would think mine rude for not doing the same.
Also children who come to tea.. wait to eat and then ask if they may start...we dont do this as a family as there are 6 of us and I am just glad to get them at the table and to start eating. They are not allowed to leave before everyone has finished...then they must ask ..then then need to clear their and adults plates...but worried that my children would be seen as rude for not waiting to start to eat etc.
