Why Manners Matter
By Marybeth Hicks
Question: My husband and I are not sure what to do about adults who
insist that our children call them by their first names, and who allow
their children to do the same with us. We’d prefer to be “Mr. and Mrs.”
and we insist that our children call adults by their proper title. It
seems like a lot of adults think it’s cool to be casual, even with
kids, and get offended or upset when we coach our children... Read More. See More Blogs. |

We are a nation of
excesses… excess drinking, eating, junk foods… even dieting or
exercise. All good, or okay, in moderation but potentially harmful in
excess. Following yesterday’s posts on Stranger Danger and That’s My
Opinion, I received a Wall Street Journal article that I believe is a
must read for everyone… Eek! A Male! It seems our paranoia knows no
bounds. Also, a HUGE thank you to Darrell and Debbie Biddlestone for
their annual Memorial contribution to our kids! In News:
