But as far as expecting them to have good manners? Totally non-negotiable at any age, even if we still have to prompt them, we will! :) If one of our kids forget, I can pretty much give them "the eye" and they'll remember! lol! :)<br /><br />We see a lot of rude kids when we go out as a family and I have to say that most of the time, the parents are just as rude. The opposite is also true - we rarely see well-mannered children whose parents arent equally mannered.Sofia's Ideashttp://sofiasideas.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494264814676641193.post-41483163997189323492011-05-23T21:52:14.136-04:002011-05-23T21:52:14.136-04:00I always tell my 3 yr old "we have to be poli...I always tell my 3 yr old "we have to be polite, even when we're rude".
