I teach my children to say it. However, we've noticed that very few people say "Thank you" these days.

Even now that they are have grown, left the nest and have little ones of their own, they continue to use their manners and are teaching their children to use them.
I don't know what has happened to folks now-a-days but, I find a good majority of them to be down and out RUDE :twisted: :twisted:

I sure do!! Taught my children and the grands to be as polite. Mother raised us well!! I have noticed that it tickels the little children when they can hold the door open for others and strangers. You give them a smile and a thank you...you just made their day!:-)

I was not fortunate enough to have someone teach me "manners", but I read about it, and watched other people as they went about their day. After I was grown, I made sure that my children use proper gramar and proper manners. They still call their elders Mr. or Mrs, and say please, and thank you.
Along the line of proper manners, one of my BIG bugaboos is that many people do not respect our flag or pay attention to the national anthem. This, I was taught in school, but it doesn't seem to be a priority these days. It saddens me that people no longer place their hand over their heart in salute to the flag, or when people fail to face the flag when the national anthem is being played.

You say "thank you" if you have manners. My mother and father taught me and my brother from the very beginning and I passed it on to my children. To this day, (and my kids are 30 and 23) I get complements on how well-mannered they are. Seems to me that being polite should be a given. Nowadays, people notice more when you are using manners because it's almost unusual. Sad.

Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.
If you recognize this quote & who said it, you will also realize that sometimes the perception of something hasn't changed in all the years either.
