These rules paint the picture that during the 1950's children have no rights and should not be taken seriously at all.
The first etiquette rule is that children should been seen but never heard.
Kids in the 50's knew to wait until they were spoken to respond.
Otherwise they were expected to sit and listen but to never interrupt at all.
Next, is that children should never wear sweatpants to the dinner table.
I think this is an unfair rule as what if kids want to get ready for bedtime to occupy their time and then eat their dinners.
How children have to shake adults hands not matter who they are when they walk into the room.
Some kids could feel uncomfortable shaking a hand of a person they heard conversations about or how they seem to be creepy for their liking.
Lastly, the notion that children should write thank you notes for the gifts they receive.
This I think is just unnecessary as a child could just say thank you right then and there and be done with it.
Kids will forget to give out thank you notes and parents have other things to do than worry about sending these notes out.
