How Important Are Manners In Your Home?

Manners are very important at home because there will come a time that you need to be away from home and you will never notice that you will need the values you had from home to communicate with the other people. How you are trained at home will truely reflect on how you will interact with your classmates, officemates, friends, and even your wife/husband, worst even on your child/children.

I agree that a lot of adults do not use manners anymore, and it rolls down to their kids. Another factor is probably that many parents do not teach their kids to use manners. In my house, manners are a must. If we hear one of the kids say something like, "Move", we remind them that they should say, "Excuse me." instead. I must be doing something right because I am always getting compliments on how well-mannered they are in school and in public.

Hi Jenseyedea, Your right, children learn manners from their parents and if their parents don't have manners the kids will probably lack them also.I think manners are very important, especially if you have children. I think having proper etiquette is important and children learn this at a young age from home . My son is autistic but he still can be very polite and proper at times. He learn to say "Thank you" when he was 1 yrs old, now he say's thank you a lot when me and my husband do something for him and he will not eat his food at dinner time until everyone is seated, he also makes sure he has clean hands before eating as well and if he wants something he usually say's "please".. But at the same time he's a little boy and is a messy eater and sometimes plays with his food at the dinner table and we still try to correct that ( he usually plays with his food if he doesn't like what he was served). But overall, I think it is important to have manners and set an example of being polite to everybody as much as possible. It seems like that hardly anyone has manners anymore and It makes me wonder what type of parents they had growing up, because that's where good and bad manners begins, at home.

My fiance and I do not have children yet, and their are no children in the home. Even so we are instructed to still use manners. We live with his parents so whenever one of us will belch or something of the like without saying excuse me we are reprimanded. I do think that more people need to keep their manners even after they were taught to them and enforced as it's so easy for children to pick up on things they shouldn't do or things they shouldn't say.

My kids have very good manners. I think that it is very important to have good manners. I also find that more and more kids do not have very good manners. I am not sure why parents do not instill this in their kids. But it would be nice if everyone did.

I have a lot of manners, and I use it in my everyday life even at home with my kids, expecting them to do the same, because I'm the role model to them, but its not working because the influence of the outside on them is high, and what I mean by the influence, is them spending longer hours at school, activities, etc.. expose them to a large number of kids with no manners, the time I spend with my kids is about 3 hours daily before they go to bed, because I work and they go to school, then after school sports and activities, etc.. Its not an easy thing to do nowadays.. so sometimes you have to accept it to an extend.

Manners are very important in my home. I was raised in a home with manners and with respect and that is how I want my home to be also.

Dear friend, I hope manner at homes keeps it continues outside also. It is from home the root of one character is formed and it is society where that character is got more feedback. Hence I feel manner at home is important so as that would project while dealing with the society too.

I was brought up to use manners and i also instill the same in my children. I am constantly pulling them up if they do not use manners as i feel manners cost nothing. Just a simple thank you can make someones day. Even when my two year old was a baby i would use manners around him so he would pick it up himself. I also pick me partner up on it, as well, as sometimes he forgets himself. People always remark how polite my children are.

My parents taught us the basics, but they're not very strict when it comes to manners. Like when we are having dinner, we don;t say "pass the chicken, please." We don't say thank you as often as well. But when we are with other people, we are mindful of are manners. We always put our best foot forward. We give way to elders, we greet relatives, etc.

manners isn't to big of the deal in our house, we all might let a good smelly one out, or burb. reach across the table for things. but respect on the other hand is really big. and if someone comes in with their paints around their butt will be told to pull them up.

Manners are extremely important. My mother insisted on us having good manners and I feel that same urgency in teaching them to my children. I cringe when I run into rude children and I can't stand ill-mannered adults!

I think this depends on the home situation. I was taught good manner, and have continued to use them in my life. Others were not taught manners and normally do not pick them up as they age. I do have to agree that many of the youth today do not have good manners. I also think that this depends on the area you live in. I think those in the south have better manners than those in the north. I think that the use of manners is completly dependent on the way a child was brought up. I think if they were taught properly, they will maintain their manners. If they are not, they will most likely have poor manners in their adult life.

I thought that you should not wrong,we are must speak politeness in the life,when for example others help your time must say:Thanks,when you want the time which asks others to help must say:Invitation.

I am a stepmother to 4 kids who had no manners when I met them. I have been in their lives for over 2 years ( full time their mom disappeared). I feel like I'm always saying "where are your manners!". Also, I live on an Army post and it's amazing how bad the kids manners are. A lot of the time the mother's say it's because the father's are deployed or the father's say they just want to be friends with their kids cuz they don't spend much time with them. It's crazy to me.

i do the same thing like you once they got used to with this good manners in their home then they will applied to in their social life we know that almost every one would love to communicate a person who have a good manner
