Why Mummy?

Under Family Category: Mother in Family, Family Parenting

The standard “because I said so” response really doesn’t work if parents have one set of rules for adults and a completely different set for kids.

When children used to be seen and not heard, they couldn’t complain that what their parents said and did were two different things. But now that adults believe kids deserve a voice and they’re encouraged to use it, children are suddenly demanding answers.

There’ll be no more, “Because I said so.” Even if you think those words, they’ll be onto you, following you and pestering you until the who, what, when, where and how has been explained in full.
“Parenting is more pressured than it was when roles were defined in simpler times, when multi-generational families sat down at a table for every meal and the TV dinner was yet to be invented,” says author of The Penguin Book of Etiquette.

Von Adlerstein probably didn’t think her book would ever be a competitor to the child-care manual, but it’s a must-read for parents because good manners are at the core of good behaviour.
Although she has no children herself, Von Adlerstein is a much-loved aunt to lots of kids. In her book, she avoids the mother-superior tone that infiltrates many parental self-help books. Instead, she offers a modern approach to being kind and considerate, and she explains why such behaviour is still so important. Add manners to a child’s make-up and life becomes so much more manageable.
