I admit that I am the worst blogger, I only blog a couple of times a year, and my last one was quite a while ago. I'm just not into being on the computer very much. Anyways, I am going to try to keep this one light (I know that my others have been tinged with the anger that arises from my frustration of the state of society). I basically feel the need to bring up a few points regarding all those life and social lessons which were always so crucial to bringing up a decent member of society. There are certain rules and lessons that parents no longer seem to be teaching their children, and it is not okay...
1) "Use your indoor voice" - seriously, it used to be that when we were in public places, we spoke quietly so as not to disturb others. Now, both children and adults get on the subway, or in a store, or an office or salon, and are speaking at full volume, so that everyone has to listen to their annoying conversations and/or children's squealing, whining, or worse. IT IS NOT OKAY! Have some dignity, and some respect for others around you and be quiet!!! There are others in the world besides you!
2) "Say please and thank you" - teach them to say these to everyone, in every situation!
3) "Greet all people you interact with with a Hello (Good Morning, Good Evening, etc) and a Goodbye when departing" - seriously, I've had the rudest children in my hairstyling chair, while sitting for a haircut, not even saying hello, sitting like a stupid zombie, and no thank you or goodbye when it's done. NOT OKAY!! These rude monsters grow up to be rude, classless, awkward adults. Teach them please!!!
