Relationships / old n new

I just ended a 3 yr relationship because we didn't have a hole lot in common . I'm love da water n he can't swim, I'm more country n he is more rap. I'm a get up get things done while he is a sit n have coffee n watch news. I love the beach n he rather go shopping. I live n Texas n he lives n Nebraska .
So I went out with a guy that is more of my liking. He has two boys. 13 n 16. The boys fart a lot, can't not say please, thank you, yes mam. Etc to the waitress. The 16 yr old used a air horn in two parking lots and in my driveway. Showing no respect to me or my neighbors. What the fck.
This was the first time meeting the boys. Nice to me, but a little bit disrespectful and embarrassing . Yes , I informed the the father that I was ashamed by their behavior.
Grant you, if there is a next time. If the father can not control the kids, then I will.
Are parents today afraid to be firm n teach manners n respect to their own kids? Or are kids now born to rule the house n be brats?

Not all parents are afraid to teach children to be polite. It's a must for me (well I'm from the South and I don't take the phrase Southern Hospitality lightly) ...

Not so sure about your "if he doesn't ... I will"... My advice would be to think very hard about there being a next time with him and YOU make that choice. You could give him one more opportunity with the kis around and observe all of their behaviors. Does the dad try harder to keep them in line or does he still let them go? Will they try harder to impress you or do they care? I am also wondering if this is their "normal" behavior, or were they just "showing out" for dad's new friend?

Part of what I am thinking is ... the "kids" are already teens... their behaviors are pretty much set (in the way of respect). You can't wait until your children are half-grown before you start teaching them. It starts when they are babies. (Sounds like he might have already missed that train.)

If their behavior is an issue now... it will be in the future as well.

You might wanna keep looking for someone who's more to your likin' ... I think there are some good ole country boys out there looking for a man like you ~ Remeber, you never have to settle... "settling" makes for a long, sometimes difficult and unhappy relationship (I think you could see that from your previous experience).
 
Wow, bod you know me or what.
Yes from the south as well. Kids may have been just showing off.. I did inform the dad how I felt . How I was disappointed in the disrespect they showed at the restaurant . He told he did have a talk with them n that he would call me later.
I agree, teaching kids start when they start life.
