Saying 'please', 'thank you', 'you're welcome' is becoming more and more of a lost art. We have tried to distill in both of you the need for manners and remind you of these day in and day out. Please do not lose sight of this.
We currently live in a world where these words are going the way of the Dodo (if you do not know what that saying means, you can look it up). Parents seem not to care, or they, themselves, do not have possess these manners to instill this in their children.
It is a very simple gesture but it goes a very long way. Not using those words, in any circumstance, is rude. By this, I mean you should always use your manners when you are addressing anyone - it could be your boss, the queen, the janitor at school a customer service representative, a homeless person, your family (parents, brother/sister, aunty, uncle etc etc).
It shows a great deal of respect and will certainly put you in higher regard to any observer. No one will ever say - 'oh is that the person with the good manners??'. In contrast you will hear people say 'is that the really rude person who doesn't know how to say please and thank you'.
A small effort goes a long way.
