Anyone remember 'Can I leave the table?'
I was at a friend's house on Tues for lunch. Her 10 year old twin nieces were there and they asked if they could leave the table! Was gobsmacked!
I agree basic standards when it comes to manners seem to be dwindling. OK if other grandma is ok with GC (or anybody) just walking in to her house, well that fine, but when it comes to saying please/thanks, somehow I think that should be an unwritten rule that applies everywhere you go if you are given something or ask for something. DGD is just 1 but whenever she gives me something I say "Ta", so she knows I'm thankful for the grotty bit of half chewed cardboard that she has lovingly presented me with. just to start reinforcing the please/thanks thing.
Arghh!! Moving house and conveyancing frustrations
