table manners

It’s funny, because she watches a few children’s shows that promote table manners, among many other wonderful things. I know she knows what to do, but for some reason, she just won’t do it. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. She’s a rebel and I know that I am in for some major battles when she gets older. However, I wonder what I am going to do if I can’t even get her to learn or at least try to use her table manners. What must other moms think of me?

I know they probably don’t think much about it. I know that I am not the only one with a child who couldn’t care less about their table manners. It is almost comforting when I see other children who are my daughter’s age eating just like she does, and I see the looks of horror on their mothers’ faces and I know it’s not just me. Most of us are trying, but there seems to be some revolt against learning table manners.

Now that I think about it, I think it’s revolt in general. I think it’s just childhood, but since I can’t remember that time in life very well, I would think that I probably did it too. I know that rebelling and trying to find things out on your own are a part of childhood, and is a great way for kids to learn about the world and about who they are going to be. However, if I had just one wish for this moment in time, it would be that she would use her table manners once in a while. I know she has them and knows them, but she just won’t use them. There are bigger battles I suppose, but I for one am glad that this is my biggest worry with her at the moment.
