The problem these days is that many parents are so self-absorbed that they don't bother to teach their children anything. I always have to smile when I see a young mother with a 3 year old at the supermarket, and she's doing what my mom did with me- having a running conversation as she goes down the aisles about what she's buying, planning, etc. "Lets get some Cream of Mushroom soup so we can make a casserole out of that leftover chicken and some rice- you like that, don't you?" "So what kind of cake mix shall we get for dad's birthday?" "Do you remember how much Cheerios is left in the box?" I usually say something like "Good job, mom, treat him like an adult and he'll act like one." I always get a smile and a "thank you" in return.

I guess I'm not the only one- my son and his wife have 4 kids (from 1 to 10) who are very well behaved. He says they often get compliment from older people in restaurants- "so nice to see a family having a conversation rather than a shouting match".

Parenting is work, and unfortunately, many are not willing to put in the effort anymore.
