Completely justified
It costs nothing to be nice. Saying please and thank you should happen without any thought. I refuse to give my daughter any sweets, pop, crisps, etc until she asks and says please and thank you. Hopefully this will get it into her mind

I hope you reciprocate when she does the same for you?
Lead by example etc

You can get caught out by that one:

My daughter wanted 'chocolate, please Daddy' for breakfast last weekend...

Chocolate is an acceptable weekend breakfast!
I get "Daddy, can I have chocolate toast please?" for Nutella

'Want' was as bad as swearing when I was growing up.
along with "What?" and dirty nails.
Sometimes she'd let me say "Ta" instead of "Thanks" but she made me ask first, which ruined the fun a bit.

People really aren't saying please and thank you these days.
It makes me really disproportionately angry and murderous.
