    You get them after parents have already had their way with them, so yeah it’s difficult for them to unlearn a lifetime’s worth of instruction, to now do the correct thing.

      Not even just parents, sometimes school and the early shitty jobs do a lot of damage too

        Sigh… yeah. When all, or at least most, of society combines together to say the same exact thing, then little kids in particular tend not to question it. Fortunately some of us continue to learn even later in life.:-) Unfortunately not all of us do.:-( Even so, it’s worth the effort to try to share the right way to go. Lately I’ve been thinking about that poem by Rudyard Kipling, “If—”: “If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs…”:-)
