and my mum said "thanks"

Although raised in so much havoc as a youth, I personally learned on my own that a simple Thank you goes a long way. I will will thank anyone even after my purchase as I find it is a well mannered thing to do. I raised my children to say Thank you at all times, as little ones not showing acknowledgment of gratitude would surely get me upset. So they knew immediately to Thank. I felt that if more people would just acknowledge their gratitude towards others this surely would be a more peaceful world. I find that when you do not thank someone it is a form of not acknowledging your gratitude. So may I say Thank you for this discussion as it helps towards my earnings. I am most grateful.

Sweetie, my mom taught me to always say thanx for things that was done for me. She even thank me when i do things for her. I am actually use to it. If she ever caught me not saying thanx, i will surely be in trouble. It only shows appreciation and good manners. TATA.

I thank people for specific things I do. But when I am thanked for things that are just "my job", ie doing the laundry, making dinner, etc., it does strike me weird.

Duty or not, I also think that we should always say thanks to whoever does something for you. Unfortunately, I couldn't say that I always do. I seem to forget all the time. But it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the act any less. I do try to say thanks even if it is after the fact. Not weird at all.

Hi blue! I thank my children too for whatever small they do. I want them to know and feel appreciated for what they have done. I want them to know that whatever they do matter alot to me. All these make life so pleasant. Your mom must have felt the same way. She has yours and your husband's wellbeing at heart too.

yes i say thanks to my siblings.whenever they help me.saying thanks is a good habit.

I try to say thanks to anyone who helps me or cares for me. It is sometimes the only thing that I can do. Good manners to your loved ones is more important in some ways than good manners to the strangers.

yes babes that manners and believe somewhere deep ion our hearts we expect to be acknowledged.So instead of hearing laurels a simple Ty does the trick.It shows one humbleness also.In fact you should have told Ur mom thank you right back for doing everything for you and being for you whenever you needed her.Noe you are just copying her and her acts. At times it is weird but never stop a child from thanking you.At times i feel i don't owe you anything once i have thanked you for your help.just my thoughts...

bluemoonp;avilion moms just naturally come by that as they are our guides in our youth and they want to be a good example for us to follow. so now I have been a mom for manyyears and I thank my son when he comes to see me and fixes things on my computer. I also t hank the wait people who serve us our meals here. after all they are not getting paid huge salaries and it must get boring at times to do the same old routines of giving us beverages and getting our plates of food to us. I notice too that when I am really very polite the care giver is extra pleasant so I think thanks does help a bit in a job thats really hard. work.

Well, I guess it's human nature. Many times, we see close friends or close relatives taking each other for granted. Even a simple 'thank you' is also a waste of their breath. I think it would be good for everyone to be courteous and to say 'thank you' everytime even to your family or closest friends.

Saying thanks for a favor received, even from a blood relative is not weird. Good manners just like charity begin at home. Being vocal enhances the love a family has.

I say thanks to my husband when he gives me present or have done something to me.But as you have said,I cannot say thanks to my parents or older brothers,that will give me the feeling of making us distant.

hi blue! yes, i always thanked everyone who helped me.even if they are my family members.we always say that to each other.it shows that we appreciate every single things that some one has did for us.even if it is our responsibility or duty towards them.

I love my parents. I will take care of my parents I will do everything forthem.

I say thanks to my family, every time they help me. I don't find it weird at all, it would be like arrogant of me, not to say thanks for the reason that it's their duty to help me being my family.

I'm also a mom and I thank my children for every little or big things they do for me or for others close to me. I thank even my young grandchildren for little errands for them to know that they should be thankful to others when needed. It's just natural as sign of respect and gratitude.

There was no necessity as you said.But i feel your mum is an extremely nice person who wanted to show her gratitude.I don't think its weird, i feel your mum wanted to appreciate your good deed.Though i quite follow that one need not thank parents, siblings and children for being considerate.But there are some like your mum who felt the need to show appreciation.

I was told that I must say thank you for every little thing I got. And also I always hear my siblings and my mum thanking me whenever I do something for them, it is the same for my partner. It's an honest appreciation, so I tried to never forget to say thank you to people who help me or give me something lol :)
