[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Manners and rudeness aren't written in stone; if your family decides that, at family meals, reading at the table isn't a rule, it ceases to be rude.

Your kid should probably know that many people don't operate that way, and be able to get through a meal making conversation, but you don't need to practice that every night. My own kid reads during dinner pretty often, but she's also able to sit still during Christmas dinner with her grandparents without one.

Unless it's a problem to get a kid to stop reading when they're told not to, I don't see it as an issue at all.[/quote]

It amazes me what DCUM deems low class but then THIS is ok.

This to me is the lowest of low class. [/quote]
...reading? Really? That's your bar of low class? Yikes.[/quote]

No, dear. Not teaching your children basic manners. [/quote]

It's genuinely a little fascinating to me that people are so lacking in imagination on this. I'm the PP who began this chain and I made it clear that my kid does know the "rule." She knows that out of our house, that's a rule, and she also knows that at home, that rule is only sometimes a rule. She's been taught, but you're still mad that the rules in our house are different than the rules at your house? [/quote]
