grrrrr....
i would surmise that ,in general, the feeling of most people, if asked, is that children learn by example.
so when i see parents who treat their own children with not even a hint of common courtesy.
who speak to their children in barked orders of direction and in harsh admonishment for the slightest infraction...
...i really want to scold them.
i really want to rip into them and let them know that as their children grow up and become rude adolesents, and surley teenagers....
...its all their own fault.
