RE: Day 1795: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: poor manners
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This made me remember something about my childhood, my mom had one friend who was always saying my mom is not teaching us well because she doesn't beat us anytime we offend her. That we got lot of poor manners because my mom do a lot of chores and let us do little.
She feels she teaches her step children good manners because she beats them any times they do sometimes wrong and let them do lot of house work, this is the only woman that complains about the way our mom treats us,. Years after, she had to say it with her mouth that the child she thought is going to end of bad, didn't. She said this because despite our mom training us by sparing the rod we didn't get spoiled.
Then we later then out to be an inspiration to her own younger kids
Thanks
Apparently your mom had balance in raising with love and boundaries!
