tammyw Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I was just thinking it would be fun to set up fun etiquette lessons. For example, I create a faux restaurant at home, I act as the waitress, and they come for lunch. We might do a "before" and "after" version. And in between we learn as much as we can. But I'd love a good book to use as a guideline. It obviously wouldn't have to be targeted at kids, just an all around good guide to etiquette, so I don't have to think about each thing myself.

arghmatey Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You could check out the Post Family books also, but they do have different opinions from Miss Manners on several topics. Eating spaghetti, for example, and birth announcements. Miss Manners is more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
