Why Mummy? (Part 2)

Continued From Why Mummy?

There is nothing more embarrassing for a parent than when their child is the brat in the pack – the unpopular spoilt one everyone judges with stony-faced silence at the park, in the supermarket, during playgroup. It may be your kid who is causing the trouble, but it’s you who takes the rap.
“Children need guidance,” says Buchanan, a 34-year-old journalist. “If etiquette is not taught with consistency, it just looks silly.”

Many mothers are barely out of nursing bras before they realise this simple, but important, point. How often have you forced your child to share their favourite toy with a visitor only to go ballistic when your best evening shoes and favourite lipstick are included in a game of dress-ups that you weren’t invited to?
“Today,” says Von Adlerstein, “if you want your lessons to hit home, practise what you preach.” When your daughter asks you if she can invite herself to a friend’s place, there’s no point answering with, “No darling, it’s not good manners.” Her response will automatically be, “Why not? You invite yourself over to your friends’ houses all the time.”

A code adults use with friends and family is, “I’d love to come over to visit, but…” (insert a get-out clause so, if necessary, they can respond with an easy let-down without anyone feeling hurt). So why not teach your kids the same technique?
