Please help me to understand...

I had seven girls here last night for a birthday sleepover. I cleaned the house, purchased copious amounts of food, baked a cake, prepared the food, set a special table for the girls in the living room, served the food, cleaned up, laid out pastries and donuts, etc. for breakfast.

Not one, single, solitary "thank you" crossed the lips of any of the seven girls. I heard demands like, "I need a fork," and three of the girls actually ignored a question of mine; they simply turned and walked away.

Now, thankfully, they are being picked up by their parents. Yet again, no word of thanks nor any sign of gratitude.

Is this what they do now? 'Cause I don't like it. Not one bit.

I Know Annie Have A some kind of Partie where you have tea or something and show them some eticate ( i thinmk thats how you spell it . Obviously their parents havent taught them.. The Last thing I tell my kids before they leave to a party is "make sure you say Thank you" and the first thing I ask when they get back is " did you say thank you?"
This is gonna be hard cause you did not have them in the moldim=ng stage. You are gonna have to teach manners and now you can do that cause you are their mother. Love you
