I find my husband’s habit very rude, especially when done in front of company. It feels like I’m being treated like a 3-year-old.
I do try to politely request help, but my husband thinks there’s no such thing as politely asking for something without specifically saying “please.”GENTLE READER: By your own account, you are behaving worse than you expect a 3-year-old to behave.
Miss Manners would like to make your and your husband’s child-rearing efforts simpler by reminding you that children pay attention to what their parents do, often at the expense of what the parents tell them to do. Therefore, you should always accompany a request with “please,” not just to avoid undercutting your daughter and annoying your husband, but because it is the right thing to do.***
