I teach my children to say it. However, we've noticed that very few people say "Thank you" these days.
I do and I taught my daughters to say it also. But good luck finding anyone that will hold a door open for you! That is one thing I've noticed since moving here. People just don't have manners. I have gone to so many talks where the people in the audience just sit there and talk to each other through the whole thing!! How rude! I've been known to shush people :oops:

I had to laugh the other night I took my DS to dinner and he opened the door for me when he was young he would grumble about it.

Absolutely!

I agree -- manners has seemed to drop off the parenting radar for a lot of parents. However... I have run across a few young ladies and gentlemen who were taught proper manners.

Lately when I hold a door open for someone and they just walk through and don't even make eye contact I'll say "You're welcome" with a smile. I make sure they can hear me too.

I guess if you quilt you also have manners! I sent a birthday card with money, disappointed it wasn't even acknowledged.My bank statement showed the check was cashed. My girls always made a phone call to say thank you and what they planned to do with the money they were given.

I do that too -- Maybe they will remember to open the door for the next person because I let them know
