Manners

“Forget elbows on the table: These are the manners that really matter.”

Last week, my 6yo learnt an important lesson: It's not always safe to "respect your elders."

'I have 5 kids but can still text back': Mum asks why people are so rude about replying to messages.

"I’m selling a phone on Facebook, and cannot believe people's responses."

"Kids seem to be lacking these 11 manners. I won't be making that mistake with my son."

Thank yous for kids' birthday presents are a must, but is the latest trend OTT?

The viral video of a kid who just wants someone to help him wash his hands. Oh goodness.

Science has spoken - this is the best way to discipline your kids.

We tried V.I.Poo to fix a common office toilet problem.

Pause after three bites and sit in the 'Duchess Slant': All Kate Middleton's hosting rules.

Ask Bossy: The wedding invite asks for cash. Is it passive aggressive to take a gift instead?

Don't judge me, but... I'm horrified that parents aren't teaching their kids better manners.

FACT: Baggage carousels turn people into hissing, elbowing barbarians.

These are the questions you should never, ever ask.

The forgotten art of saying thank you.

Self-declared 'meanest mum ever' dumps kids ice cream cones after they refuse to thank waitress.
