My girls always say thankyou for.... .......whenever we have been somewhere and they also say thankyou for coming to visit, play, stay etc to guest we have at home. Its really just nice to teach children manners. My girls are very polite and always use their manners and like Leish said its nice to have compliments on your child manners

Ella is very good at thanking people, I think she enjoys the compliments she gets on her good manners!
I still say it too, one of those ingrained habits from childhood!]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:06:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220624&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220624 <![CDATA["Thank you for having me"... : I say it and have taught Christopher...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220591&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220591 Author: Leish

I say it and have taught Christopher to say it as well and he doesn't need prompting anymore. We, and he, always gets the biggest compliments on how well mannered he is. It's not something you see all that often these days. ]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2007 08:42:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220591&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220591 <![CDATA["Thank you for having me"... : I still say it too and I plan...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220576&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220576 Author: baalamb

yep my kids say it every time they go to friends place etc...

I still say it! Just habit I guess. It's basically a kiddy version of 'thank you for your hospitality' - I think you'd be pushing it to get a kid to say that somehow!]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 22:23:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220537&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220537 <![CDATA["Thank you for having me"... : My Kids say it. ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220519&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220519 Author: AlyAyde

My daughter has always had to say thank you.

No I'm not leaving, LOL!

As Hannah gets older I am becoming aware that I should probably be teaching her this phrase for when we/she leaves someone's home. But I have a problem with it. It brings with it a sense of "I'm sorry I was a burden to you by coming to visit" - or at least in my mind. Do you agree, or is it just that as a kid I had a very poor self-image? And if you also don't like it, what do you/your kids say instead?]]> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:19:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11091&PID=220385&title=thank-you-for-having-me#220385
