[quote=Anonymous]I think both of you are right. Modeling extra polite behavior for your child is good, especially when you want them to get manners down. So he's right on that. However, in the normal course of ordering dinner, one says to a waitress "I'll have the fish, thanks." It's sufficient politeness for paid wait staff. So you are right. I think true rudeness is saying "Give me the fish." Since you have small children, why not agree to model the super politeness until the children get it down, i.e., the "Please may I have the fish, thank you."[/quote]
