Do adults still say , "children should be seen and not heard?"?

Asked by Aster (20023points) December 10th, 2012

My father used to say this to me when he had friends over. It didn’t hurt my feelings because I thought he was only halfway serious. And part of me thought he was trying to teach me manners (not to be blabbering away when adults were talking). It’s not that I think many parents give a flip about manners now but do they still say , “children should be, etc?”
