Just last week, the hubby and I went out for lunch & a little boy (about 5 years old or so me thinks) wanted to wash his hands. So we helped him to soap his hand and turn off the tap for him when he was done. Not a thank you from him. But then again we can't blame the kid I suppose when his dad called the waiter "Oi". Simply rude...
Then this morning as I was walking towards the car to send the daughter to school, a mom and her two kids in tow was walking towards the car. Mom wasn't bothered with helping her kids with their school bags up the stairs. The girl is probably 8 or 9 and the boy is my guess 4 or 5. A kind elderly gentleman helped the kids with the bags & not a single 'thank you' from the kids, never mind the mother. Mom was already waiting in the car...
During lunch with a girlfriend a while back, she was telling of her 9 year old son who asked her "Someday, this house is going to be mine right?" to which she replied "Probably, if we still have it then or we might decide to sell it and spend all the money"
Just makes us wonder eh??

i know exactly where you're comming from. Some days i think i'm the only young person who still gives up their seat for the elderly or says thankyou when someone says blessyou and actually Appologises when i knock into someone on the train. We have definitely gone wrong somewhere.
