Mom’s Appalled By Her Kids’ Manners Towards The Server. Her Next Move Is Pure Genius

#1 "The meanest mom ever"

A concerned mom decided to teach her kids an important lesson after taking them to DQ for dessert.

#2 The importance of saying "Thank you"

She had taught them to always say "Thank you", but it seems like they didn't learn the lesson. It was time for something more drastic: "I followed them outside where I calmly collected their ice creams and my kids watched in horror as I deposited them into the nearby garbage can. All 3 launched into mass hysteria."

#3 Appreciate the effort of others

And this is what she told them after they started crying: "I explained that one day, if they were lucky, they would work a job like that young lady. And I would hope that people would see them. Really see them. Look them in the eye and say thank you. We are too old at 8/7/5 to move through our days without exercising manners and honestly basic human decency."

Took the kids to Dairy Queen after dinner. They ordered their dessert choices and we waited about 5 minutes for them to call out our number. The young lady (maybe 17) handed each child their ice cream.

Not one looked her in the eye. Not one said thank you. Not to her, not to me So I waited. I counted to 10 in my head as they dug into their ice cream and the young lady just looked at me (probably because she thought I was hearing voices) and I watched as my children strolled out the door.

I followed them outside where I calmly collected their ice creams and my kids watched in horror as I deposited them into the nearby garbage can. All 3 launched into mass hysteria. I waited. Quiet. Calm. When they realized I had something to say, they quieted down.
