Thank you so much for joining our group. We look forward to having productive discussions and at times healthy debates. Manners are defined as behaviors that are socially accepted. Manners stretch far and wide, impacting every segment of society giving us a wide array of topics to choose from. So please jump right in and post your question, comment or debatable points.
We would love to hear a little bit about you.

Hello. My name is Serenity, I am 25 years old, and have been married to my DH for 7 years. We have 3 wonderful children together, Khurt who is almost 6, Ehric is 2, and our Miss Whynter Rose who turned 8 months old yesterday.
I am very oldfashioned, and believe without morals or manners our childrens future is going to go downhill fast. I believe there should be a certain level of respect shown at ALL times no matter what the situation or the age. I also believe just because A person is diagnosed with a problem that that does not give any excuses just something more to work on to improve.
I believe the system has failed and as a result many parents and teachers are not meeting the bar when it comes to teaching our children how to treat others.
I am trying to bring my children up with manners and etiquette, and believe the only way to do so is to find others with the same goal in improving themselves and their children.
This group caught my attention and I was thrilled to be able to join. Thank you Miss Manners for setting this up to teach us.
Hello and Welcome! It's nice to meet you and to have you as a member Please feel free to post a question or a topic that you would like to discuss at any time.
It was my pleasure to start the group, it is absolutely my passion.

It is very nice to meet you! I know that you will get some great advice here, while we don't have a huge membership yet, we do have a brilliant one. I look forward to getting to know you and congratulations on becoming a stepmom, it is a hard "position" but it can be very rewarding. I was a stepkid and my Stepmom is very dear to me and taught me so much, but it was a hard and bumpy path at times. I am here for you if you need anything in regards to manners or being a stepmom!
Quoting not-the-momma:
Hi! I'm a new stepmom to 2 kids ages 11 and 7. I have no bio kids so this is a whole new experience to me. I'm from an old fashioned family where disrespecting your elders (parents, grandparents, adults in general) was not tolerated. I've noticed a lot of kids these day talk back to adults/parents/etc and no one seems to do anything about it. My skids are the same. I don't approve and am trying to teach the kids to respect others in addition to manners in general. It is a real struggle especially when there are so many conflicting influences in their lives. Hopefully I can learn something in this group.

Hello, ladies. My name is Arin and I am married to my wonderful husband, Jock, for 5 years. We have 3 awesome kiddos: Emma is 4, Jake is 3, and Baby Caitlin is 9 months. I have been quite distressed about the lack of manners in society in general. I am happy to be part of a group that thinks that good manners is important.
Hello! My name is Sarah. I am 27 years old. I'm a married, SAHM of two girls, ages 3 and 1. I prefer not to give out their names, and refer to them as J(3) and A(1) on here, for their safety.
I am working on instilling manners in my children, and could work on my own a bit, too! I grew up in a house where you say please, thank you, excuse me, you didn't chew with your mouth open, or talk with your mouth full, etc. But a lot of stuff was left out, and some of those things I also don't agree with. I look forward to learning all sorts of things and hopefully I have something to offer the group as well!
Hello and Welcome to all of you! The New Year is upon us and our little group will only get better because of your input. Feel free to jump in at any time or make your own post. We are very glad you are here.

I'm a SM for 14 years... full time for the past 7 years.
I got to the conclusion that "good manners", those I grew up with, those I thought were normal and natural...are almost non existent here and these days!!!
Very sad!!!
Being here will help me remember that "I'm not weird" or "too strict" (comments I normally hear from SD and DH).
