I have just come back on the very busy bus from Newcastle after getting last minute stuff in before I go away, it was the usual mix of teens with their feet on the seats and young people with tots, however a Jewish family got on later in the journey, there was Mum, Dad and 8 children, ranging from about 9 down to a new born in a pushchair,
These children were impeccably behaved on our journey, even the smallest ones sat very quiet and still, also I noticed their perfect manners when talking to one another...what a lovely family :-)
another one to download to my new Kindle when it arrives ED..ta :-)
I know ying, sometimes it's a fine dividing line on here to say what you mean without offending anyone
Religion has nothing to do with it. It's the parenting. I sometimes go out for meals with my sister and her 3 kids ages 8, 11 and 12 and it's always a nice time because they know how to behave themselves in public places. On our most recent visit to a pub by the river in Oxford one of the waitresses commented to my sister how well behaved her children were and she's not Jewish or any other religion. She just knows how to teach her kids how to behave in certain places.
this has been established milly, It is culture that plays a large part in certain religions but mostly good parenting skills which your sister obviously has
I know a few families like that Pixi. I was always amazed at how well they all turned out.
I blame electricity. When we lost ours, we all got on...chatting, reading etc etc. It's been back on less than an hour and they've started fighting. Crazy crazy stuff...
yes Joe, I totally agree, I realized by saying what religion they were I had left myself wide open, it's all about Parenting skills at the end of the day
