Simple Manners at Home

Home is where you learn to get along with people. The closer you live with other people, the more important good manners are.

It is important for members of a family to consider each other's privacy. No matter how crowded a home is, everyone in it has a right to some place that is his own. Here are some privacy don'ts:

• Don't open a closed door until you have knocked and waited for permission to enter.
• Don't go into anyone else's things at home or anywhere else without his permission.
• Don't read anyone's mail or anything he has written (like diary) unless he asks you to.
• Don't discuss the private affairs of your family with outsiders or tell about a family problem.
