[quote=Anonymous]only slightly off topic, but I was wondering the same thing about whether I was "expecting too much" from my daughter's 10-year-old friends. I take turns driving carpool to various sports and of the 4 kids we taxi around, only 2 (my DD included) consistently say "Thank you for the ride" when I drop them off. It bugs me. I have taught my DD to say thank you and she does it always, as does one of the others. Every time. I know the other two hear it at least part of the time. Why don't they SAY it? And parents: gratitude and expressions of polite manners do not take that much effort to teach and reinforce. Please try.[/quote]
