I think the children of working class men and women tend to have good manners and don't get into trouble as much as middle class children. One reason is the style of punishment used by many working-class parents. I can say that growing up I would get my butt spanked, I would be grounded for days and even weeks or I would have to stand in the corner because I wouldn't stop annoying my brother and sister. I believe that if corporal punishment was used more nowadays, children wouldn't get into as much trouble as they do. Middle-class parents tend to let their children get by with a little more than a working-class parent would. I'm not saying these parents let their kids get away with murder, but they tend to overlook something the working class wouldn't. Their punishment style may not be at the level of working class parents. An example I can use for this is that of my niece. My sister never let my niece learn what it meant to earn a dollar or what it meant to not always get what she wanted. Well, because of this my niece started getting into a lot of trouble when she entered high school and even after she graduated. He can't hold a job because he doesn't know what it's like to work. She responds to my sister because my sister never punished her that much and when she did later she felt bad and then left it unpunished, it might have been 2 or 3 days max. After removing the punishment, my sister would take my niece shopping and buy her anything she wanted as a way of saying I'm sorry for teasing you. This has now led to a problem because my granddaughter still believes that she should get anything and everything she wants, regardless of the cost. I guess what I'm really trying to say doesn't matter how you grew up because your way of raising your kids might change and be totally different than the way you grew up
