One thing that really bugs me about this article..the whole "harried single parent" thing, as if the "good old fashioned" family had the most polite, mannered parents and children- it didn't and it doesn't. I would think most people, single or otherwise, would take the time to teach their kids manners-shouldn't that be one of parents' most important jobs? And how much time does it really take?
And adults need to take responsibility for our own lack of manners, and not blame it on technology, harried lifestyle, or some other silly excuse. It takes a small effort to hold a door or carry out some other common courtesy.
People are afraid to speak up when they witness rudeness, I do sometimes but other times I don't. Honestly I am afraid of people sometimes, if they can be that rude what else are they capable of?
Yes we are all human and we get angry, emotional, frustrated., whatever..but manners still count for something, don't they?
