  It depends. We taught our children to say please when asking for something. Even if we say No. And so far they constantly get praised for how polite they are around grown ups (not us only, but other adults).
context: When I read the title I thought I was going to disagree. Then I read the rest of the post and I definitely agree. Nothing more annoying in public than a kid whining because they didn’t get their way. >
  
  Our kids have to have a good attitude when they ask, including saying please, regardless of our answer. 
  They expect the same from us, rightfully so. "Go get your brother please" isn't hard to say. >
  
  Exactly. Some parents do the right thing, like you do. The ones that don't get on my nerve.
