[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who have never heard of this, where did you grow up? This was a common expectation of good manners among everyone I knew growing up in the Northeast. [/quote] I also want to know! I have never heard of this. I grew up middle class in the DC suburbs. My parents were college educated. My dad is culturally Southern and my mom is from the Midwest with Northern European immigrant parents. IF my mom had known this was a thing, she would definitely have exercised it. 100%. Tell her that it was good American manners, and that her children might be seen as disrespecting her, she would have been ON IT. This is her type of thing! "Mother, may I be excused from the table?" Etc. I also had some super snobby Southern aunties, who were looking out to shame me for lack of manners, so I would have heard about it from them if it were a southern thing. So I want to know, who are these She-witches?[/quote]
