My middle daughter is picking up some bad habits lately. Our kitchen is by no means huge. It's actually pretty tight. And for some reason wants to be right there anytime we're in there. Well instead of saying "excuse me" and waiting for one of us to move, she acts like a cat and tries to squeeze by you. The problem is....she's 12 and no longer a tiny little toddler. Even though she still must THINK she's tiny. We're constantly on her about saying excuse me BEFORE you barrel into someone

Then I get out in public and realize, we must be the ONLY parents that are self aware and trying to make our kids respectable adults.
