[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please and thank you. Written thank you notes. Eating with mouth closed. Men holding doors. (I know, I know, old fashioned, probably sexist, but it is a sign that the man has been taught manners at a young age.) Being able to carry on a gracious (not braggart) conversation with an adult. [/quote] These seem like old-fashioned middle class lessons. MIL insists on written thank yous.[/quote] These are called good manners, something that is lost on some of the younger generation but never lost in wealthy circles.[/quote] You seem to be positing that the wealthy are all well-mannered. This is demonstrably false. Frankly I think that lower middle-class children from Black and Hispanic homes are better reared in terms of manners than your typical white UMC child, who is inculcated with entitlement and privilege from birth.
