Whatever happened to manners?
Maybe I need to vent. Maybe I need someone else's opinion, I don't know. Whatever happened to manners? Being a 40 something year old male from the south, where we USED to be proud of chivalry, I'm appalled at today's youth's lack of common courtesy and basic manners. Yes, there is a small percentage that do have consideration. But it used to be the norm. You don't see guys opening the door anymore for their girl, or holding the door for the little old lady coming in the post office as often. How about the knowledgeable, patient clerk at the hardware store. You tell them thank you and they say " no problem" . I KNOW it's no problem, you're getting paid aren't you? I'm doing my best to make sure that my two young sons have manners, and treat a lady like a lady like it should be done automatically. Abuse against women is commonplace. If we just simply get back to how it was when men were gentlemen, life would be so much better. Children with manners stand out like an endangered species today. Why? Have we gotten so busy to be nice to each other? It's never too late to teach or learn manners. And treat women like you treat your mother. THANK YOU for listening.
