Re: Do you still have manners
My 17-year-old stepson has had a bubble wrapped upbringing because of two, life-changing, quite harrowing events (for a child). However, it means historically, he's always been given what he wants, so now he never says "please" or "thank you" (among his other problems). He doesn't ask for anything from me, because he knows he won't get unless he makes the effort.
It's second nature with my nine-year-old, though. He realises what he's done immediately if he has one of his very occasional lapses...
