Do you greet your family members with a "good morning "every day?

Hi Roseo, that's so true, we do tend to take our own family members for granted in many ways.I make it a point to wish my children in the morning, infact they too never forget to wish me. My son , while he comes here for his holidays( studying in the US) wakes up very late, but calls out from under the sheets to wish me , if I happen to go to his room on some work and promptly goes back to sleep...lol....I joke back telling him 'Rise and shine my son ...' I agree we need to care more for our own family members - all the best

Hi Rose, At the moment there is just my wife and I at home, but we always wish each other good morning. This is something that I've always done as it's what I was taught while growing up. The only time it wouldn't happen would be if someone was leaving the house early and before others were awake. Blessings.

Hi Rose.......you really asked a very nice question. It reminds me of my Late father, he really was a wonderful man. When we were children I remember, every morning, we use to greet each and every family member with Good morning and every night with good night.The words Thank you, please, Sorry, excuse me........were always used by us. We were so cultured and good mannered. Today I feel our parents were strict with us, but indeed they made us feel proud in society. I hate myself when I think, why we could not become such good parents of our children. And the reason is that we become too friendly with our children and did let go things too easily........this does not mean that our children are not well mannered, but I still feel the ways of our ancestors were much better and they were much better parents than us.....at least that applies for me. , so I have decided that when I will have my grand children, I am going to bring them up just like my father brought us up.

Sometimes I do. If I don't, half asleep, he's running late, I'm running late, I've been interupted by, "Honey, where's my _________."If I didn't use it last, I don't know would be the answer. If I don't wash it, ditto. Have you seen my __________ might be a better question and he does say that sometimes, esp. if it's something I never touch, like most of his tools. Sometimes the two male cats are fighting and we start our day breaking up a cat fight. I find it interesting that in English, when 2 women fight, it's called a cat fight, but most fights I see with cats on a daily basis are males. They both want to dominate, but neither wants to give in. I wouldn't care, but they go for the eyes, ears, nose, and that costs me money. Plus they could blind, deafen, or mess with the nose/mouth so I have to bring to the vet.

Hi Rose, It is true that we can be even polite to strangers even if they made the mistake but we may rude with our kids though the false is in our part. The same way we are forgetting about the inmates at home but be very particular on phone calls, friends and in office. But the trend in north is really appreciable when the kids are always making a point to say a ‘namsthe’ to their parents in morning (I am not sure this practice is going on in every home, but I seen the same in some homes, when the father back from work the kids are greeting with a ‘namasthe’.) If you ask me, I will be included in the first category, as I am always busy in morning, making the Tiffin for my school going kid and then wake him up and forcing him to do the brushing, bathing etc. But on holiday they may wake up by their own and then comes to me then I may say a ‘good morning’ (just expressing my happiness as they wake up by their own).

no i dont. har har har. because i work at nights and wake up afternoon already. har har har. but i always tell them i love them when i arrive from work on mornings. i dont have the chance to great them good morning. but i do always tell them goodnight for i call before my son's bed time. atleast i have a good reason. har har har. but if i am still awake and my baby woke up i say good morning my baby bird but that is not all the time.

I am currently living with my parents as I had to move back because of the recession and I couldn't afford my place, anyhow I digress slightly, every morning I always greet my parents and offer to make them a cup of tea, before getting my breakfast, we discuss what we are up to during the day and it makes the morning a social occasion rather than all rushing off.

Hi Rose, nice to see you back. Morning greetings has been bypassed in my home. No one see the need to greet each other to welcome a new day everyday. I wish I had instilled that greetings in my family to break the morning ice.

It is my papa who wake me up in the morning! To be honest, I am up, but I like him coming and running his hand on my forehead. LOL. I know it is very childish, but that's the the way I am. :)

No. because aside from the fact that I am away from my family, i don't really feel comfortable doing it. I simply smile at anyone of them, and I believe that is more than a good verbal greetings.

Yes ,i do wish good morning to my siblings and my parents every day .Its very rare that i would forget to do it but even if i ,by mistake, dont , then my family members wish and i very happily wish them too in reply.. cya..tc.
