Ranger posted in another ng about manners and kids...got me to
thinking....how much do you stress manners with your kids? Do you
expectations have changed since you were a kid? What do you insist on (or
not) with your own?

One of the main things I see is a much more casual way of addressing
parents...I still can't address my friends' parents (the ones I knew as a
kid, that is) by first name, they will always be Mr. or Mrs. Same with
aunts and uncles. Now, my kids' friends call me Beth, or Miss Beth , and
my
niece and nephew don't use 'aunt'. I see my kids' friends being more open
/
casual with me, not in a rude way, but they will joke and cut up whereas
when I was younger I never considered that with the 'rents.
how about you?
