    Proper Southern Manners Part 10 – (Telephone Manners)

    / 4 Comments

    This is Part 10 of the Proper Southern Manners Series. In this part we will be covering Telephone Manners and Etiquette. This is a great tool to use with your children when teaching them proper manners and etiquette while using the phone. Have you ever phoned someone only to have one of their children answer and you hear… “Yeah?” or “Yo” or “What’s up?” As we have spoken about previously, first impressions are huge and you only get one chance. Many times the phone call IS the first impression. My EX husband, El Conquistador, has a real pet peeve with people that do not use the words “can” and “may”…

    Proper Southern Manners Part 9 – (Table Manners)

    / 9 Comments

    As we have explained to our children, table manners are essential!! To get them to understand we spoke with them about going on dates (the opposite sex when speaking to teenagers is always a good way to get them to pay attention LOL).  Good table manners are something that will be important and carry through all our lives including dinners with family, going on dates and impressing that your man or woman you are out with, dinner parties as well as business dinners. Of course as we have pointed out throughout the Proper Southern Manners series, this is by no means all inclusive. It does, however, give us a starting…

    Proper Southern Manners Part 8 – (Being A Lady)

    / No Comments

    Close your eyes for a moment and visualize your idea of a lady. Is she cussing on a street corner loudly? Is she saying things to hurt someones feelings? Are her clothes dirty and  her hair a rats nest? Most likely you do not visualize any of those things when you picture a “lady”. I would really like to ask some of these girls that I see to do the same exercise and explain what it is that they see when they close their eyes. As it says below, some of this may seem a bit out dated, but if you think about it you are able to apply this…

    Proper Southern Manners Part 5 (Courtesy Words and Actions)

    / No Comments

    Proper Southern Manners Part 5 (Courtesy Words and Actions) Common words of courtesy can take an individual a long ways these days since so few practice them.  Some of the common words and actions you will see in the South are: –         Say, “Yes sir,” “No sir,” or “Yes ma’am,” “No ma’am.” –         Always say, “Please,” “May I,” “Thank You,” “You’re Welcome,” “Excuse Me,” “Pardon Me.” –         A man  wearing a hat should take it off when indoors.  Coaches Paul “Bear” Bryant and Bum Phillips were known for not wearing their hats in enclosed stadiums such as the Superdome in New Orleans. –         A hat should also be removed (by…
