[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was a stickler for manners when I was a kid and I remember asking why she didn’t correct me any more when I was like 17 (as I self corrected by taking my elbows of the table). She says she figured out habits were largely formed by 13 and she had more important things to spend her influence on. And I (and she) seem to feel me and my sisters turned out well so I say 13 — maybe 15 at the outside. Unless they ask for your help. I asked my parents for help with my first cover letters I think; that’s manners of a sort.[/quote] What’s wrong with your mother caring about manners? What kind of manners are we talking about here?[/quote] DP my DD knew to put the restaurant napkin on her lap at 9 years old. So I kinda get what the PP is saying. Manners are instilled early. [/quote] I’m still failing to see how that is a problem. [/quote]
