I am a student learning English.
While watching the program shot in England, I found some kids behave in a rude way on my standard.
It's not a drama, but a kind of reality show. When an adult guest visited some family, kids didn't stand up even though they saw her come in. They just lied on a sofa staring at her, so she almost kneeled down to say hello to them. Their parents who stood up to welcome her didn't say anything to them. They were young, but not toddlers. One of them was elementary school student, who also leaned on a sofa like a boss and just extended his hand to the guest.
It was a little shocking to me that anyone there didn't seem to think that it's the problem. Is it okay in Western culture? Or their parents were just careless about disciplining their kids?
