Where Have All the Manners Gone?

April 10, 2015 By Channing 3 Comments

Ohhhh…Where have all the Manners gone?

What happened to our courtesy?

Our respectfulness is gone again

They’re gone again

Our manners all have lost their stick

Do you remember when…

Sorry folks….this is what happens when you are trying to write a blog post and have kid songs stuck in your head. All of your ideas start turning into your own rendition of Veggie Tale Songs.

But seriously, Moms where have all the manners gone? It seems like lately more than ever the world of manners is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Where Have All the Manners Gone?

What happened to the days of “yes ma’am” and “yes sir?” Opening doors for older people, giving up a seat for a pregnant momma, teaching children to be respectful of those around them and a polite “please” and “thank you?”

Michelle and I were at dinner the other night discussing this very topic. It’s like we are raising a generation of children who have zero respect for others around them. They are so consumed with me, me, me that everything and everyone else is overlooked.

And you know what? Sometimes with my head buried in my phone I am guilty of these things as well. Our society, has reached a point in our self consumed life style that basic consideration has fallen by the wayside. My kids included!

It’s time we WAKE UP! It’s time we get back to the basics, the basics of manners.

Good Manners

I love this quote by Bill Kelly, what volumes it speaks. I know sometimes it is hard to get caught up in the day to day but Moms we mustn’t ignore this important lesson our kids must learn.

Manners = Respect for Others.

Respect for your parents, respect for your siblings, respect for your teachers, respect for friends, respect for strangers and most importantly respect for God and the way He has called us to live.

“….Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another..” John 13:34

If only we could live in a world full of manners….

    YES! I love this and it’s so true. There are so many things that I disagree with in this day and age… for example, my friend posted a status today about her kids science fair and that there were no prized because “all the kids are winners”. Are you freaking kidding me? I just don’t get it, we’re raising entitled kids, with no manners because they believe there deserving of everything regardless of hard work.

    I truly believe that kids aren’t being raised this way because the kids who are now parents weren’t raised with them. I started having kids later than most, so I’m older than most mothers with kids my age. It takes WORK to raise kids with manners – not work for the kids, but work for the parents. I know it’s easier to just apologize when our kids do something they shouldn’t , then shuffle them off for a “talking to” or “time out” when what should really happen is we should stand right at the spot of wrongdoing and make our kids apologize instead of doing it for them! It takes patience and determination to wait for a gentleman to open your door rather than doing it yourself – but standing there without touching the door while we expect our young men to open it for us is an absolute must. Teach manners from the core, not at the convenience!

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again!
