After having twins I had so many people help me with doors, my stroller or in many other occassions where it was obvious that I just did not have enough hands or patience. Thank you to all of you who have helped me. Manners are not completely dead, but I think it is our responsiblity as parents to make sure manners don't die with our children so there will be at least someone willing to offer a helping hand, a seat, open a door or just be observant of a need.Kick-It Marketinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262405125718747754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134134498693875967.post-52296811535790761812010-05-04T11:36:28.571-06:002010-05-04T11:36:28.571-06:00This is shocking to me.

My friend went to Starbucks recently with her stroke recovering and semi-handicapped husband, the person who finally got up and gave them her table was a woman who was obviously undergoing chemotherapy. She felt his pain and gave up her seat. We need to look around and notice others and be more giving.Come on folks let's be more sensitive to the needs of others.somewhereinthymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780099799790981118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134134498693875967.post-87954951535448931692010-05-03T23:29:07.832-06:002010-05-03T23:29:07.832-06:00I noticed that the other day at the Cheesecake Fac...I noticed that the other day at the Cheesecake Factory. A whole group of prom kids came in, and none of their dates opened the doors for them. They all walked feet in front of their dates, and just didn't act like it was a special occasion. Hopefully we can all raise our kids with manners, and how we treat women, elderly, and the like.....Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019681895961086778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134134498693875967.post-32481507944923693972010-05-03T11:31:40.658-06:002010-05-03T11:31:40.658-06:00How frustrating!

Of course, when I see someone actually move or get up for an elderly person or pregnant lady, I'm always taken off guard -- so sad that I have that reaction because it just doesn't happen that often!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385092109552183702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134134498693875967.post-1332658528340447402010-05-03T11:17:37.676-06:002010-05-03T11:17:37.676-06:00I agree!

We have a difficult time at our apt. complex with people blocking our parking spot because their are too lazy too look for an open one.

I give up MY seat for elderly and other women, why wouldn't a man do the same!?<br />I've even had ladies give up their seats for me, since I'm 8 months pregnant. <br /><br />I don't think it is a man vs woman thing either, I think it is just good manners to give up some room for someone that needs it more than you do. What a pity his mama didn't teach him better.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870354285606284014noreply@blogger.com
