[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Yes she tells then "good job" and such. I just feel like kids shouldn't be expected to be formal. Does it rely matter how a kid asks for something. It's basic communication. [b]I don't understand why nannies and others feel that they are due things that they aren't. It's entitlement[/b][/quote] Therein lies the problem. You don't respect your nanny and don't feel like your kids have to either. Asking a child to ask nicely for something, and to say please and thank you is not formality, and the way they say things does indeed matter. Your children will not do very well, or be well liked/tolerated if they don't learn to speak and behave in a civilized manner. Being polite is a habit best learned young. Also, everyone is entitled to common courtesy, from the Queen of England to the homeless man on the corner. [/quote]
