Auntie Nicki's Life Lesson: Why Kids Should Always Greet Guests

In a recent viral video, content creator Nicki Marie, known as 'Auntie Nicki,' shared a crucial life skill for children: the importance of greeting visitors. In her 'Lifeskills with Auntie Nicki Episode 1,' uploaded on June 17, 2025, Marie addresses children directly, advising them to stand up, make eye contact, and say 'Hi' or 'Hello' when someone enters their home. 'If your mom's not already teaching you this, and your dad is not already teaching you this, Auntie Nicki's going to teach you this,' she states, holding a mug. She emphasizes that this applies to family members, neighbors, or anyone visiting, even if they are primarily there to see a parent. Marie then transitions from her seated position to a standing demonstration, showing the expected behavior of getting up from the couch to acknowledge guests. She further illustrates the stern parental response children might face if they fail to extend this basic courtesy. The video, tagged with #momlife and #parenting, highlights a fundamental aspect of social etiquette, aiming to foster considerate behavior in younger generations.
