Re: Emotional Vampires
we have really been trying to teach our kids the principles of chivalry. Teaching our son to open doors and our daughter to wait for them to be opened. Teaching our son to offer to help before he is asked and our daughter to always ask if she can. Chivalry runs both ways and both genders need to participate....

good manners are the hallmark of decency and respect, keep it up, we are trying too, more difficult with teens though, lol

I'll tell all the dirty little secrets...  
Has he caught up on his sleep yet? My girl took about 3 days to get it all worked out, of course it didn't help that she had to go to work the day after she got home!

Yeah, he is caught up but I don;t recognize him. He learned some great habits on the trip and we are encouraging him to keep them!

You're right. The teens are harder. But let me encourage you. When Justin was in his early teens, it seemed that he forgot all that he had been taught about being a gentleman. But now that's he's 18, he's suddenly remembered again. And Keith, who is 14, has forgotten.
What helped alot with both of them is that Walt is the perfect example of a true gentleman. He always gets the doors for me (and other women), always...................... well, he's a gentleman  I am blessed!
