No manners I say.

Have you ever seen a group of teenagers sitting in a cafe eating?

Do NOT get me started on MANNERS!!!!

Gert, I couldn't agree with you more! I think we should start a new topic on atrocious manners that we have observed!  I shouldn't generalize as I do know some lovely teenagers who have excellent manners, but I hate to say that they seem to be in the minority and unfortunately there is a vast majority of young adults out there who have no concept of how to behave in public!  I'm definitely sounding like my mum now!

Had to laugh Merlin how many times I have heard myself sounding exactly like my mother! Scary isn't it.

I once had an 18 year old come to dinner with her father. She wore a crop top with a V neck cut to her nipples, a pair of cut off jeans so tight and so short I am sure she had an orgasim every time she crossed her legs which was often as she sat on the dining chair with her legs crossed over the ankles so could  see her toes  and pubic hairs above the table. Gross. I was disgusted. She never s topped talking about herself as she waved her knife and fork in the air while never taking her elbows off the table. There were  8 of us at the table including an old friend of my husband. He was sitting opposite her and was delighted.

My DH always complements me on my cooking whether or not he likes it.
I know when he really enjoys the meal as he says I " I would be happy to pay for that in a restaurant."
I agree with JD some people just don't comment on anything.
My cousin and his wife stayed with us for Christmas and I put in a bit of effort to make the guest room lovely - fresh flowers, candles, fluffy towels, nice toiletries, a chocolate on their pillows and not a word.

Some people drive me crazy with not showing appreciation. It free to just say a couple of words to make someone feel good.
I was brought up to be polite and kind, and I'm a big believer in saying something nice to make someone smile.
Thank you is not a hard word to say.

Gert thanks for the laugh. I bet she had her you know what pierced as well helping to create tose 'Os'.

I am a stickler for manners and it has worn off. Everyone who meets  DS7 comments on his good manners. My pet hate is kids with no manners and attitude.

Last night I made curried sausages with curry paste and coconut milk. Unfortunately I added too much curry paste for DS liking. He said to me "Mummy you normally cook such yummy meals but this one is too spicy for me". He had baked beans with his rice and DH and I enjoyed our curried sausages and rice.

This thread is so hilarious…my 17 year old who has grown up eating great food his whole life and consequently does not like maccas, (not much anyway!) is constantly telling me to leave the MasterChef kitchen….what the??

Suddenly they are all cooking show adjudicators…and certainly when his friends ever eat at ours, they are dutifully impressed and amazed and say all the right things, like ‘wow, do you always eat like this?’ Incredulously, he will casually say something like, ‘well, yes, but she’s always played with it first for a photo’ or, ‘I’m not really a fan of …..’ fill in the blank with prawns, scallops, quinoa, cheesecake, meringue, whatever….

cheeky little sod!
Good to know we are all the same though isnt it?? He’ll miss me when he moves out! ;D ;D

He will never move out. You will have to stop cooking! To get mine to move out I took a sledge hammer to his walls making my dining area much bigger.

To get my daughter to move out I only had to take one wall out to make her bedroom into a dressing room for me.
