[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always find these posts very interesting - I wonder how many people were just not raised correctly? Or just don't care?[/quote] I find posts like this hurtful. To me it implies neglect on the part of my parents, and I don't see it that way. My parents both worked very long hours and I don't think they went to one dinner party the whole time we were growing up (and still don't). My mother has never written a thank you note in her life, and I just started doing it as an adult. It wasn't neglect, it was just the circle my parents socialized in -- it would have been seen as pretentious to do a thank you note after dinner with friends. Of course these are all things I've had to learn since moving to the east coast, but again the implication that my parents just didn't care about good manners is wrong. [/quote]
