[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach them to accept a compliment graciously. Teach them how to write a thank you note. Teach them how to behave at someone else's home (no feet on the furniture, no screaming or throwing things, no food away from the table, etc.). [/quote] I grew up UMC and many of my friends are UMC. I am a single mom and am in a “helping profession”—which is a nice way of saying I don’t make good money. So, I live in a poorer, blue collar or no collar at all neighborhood. The only kids who put their feet on my furniture and use bad manners in my house are the children of my UMC friends. I do agree with a PP’s comment about teaching your kids to advocate for themselves. Being assertive without being aggressive or angry is something UMC people are able to do. [/quote] OMG this. I am horrified at the behavior of the son of two of the most UMC people I know. He is a terror to have in my house. [/quote]
