Were You Raised By Wolves?

Dodging In-Law Requests, Melting Candy Bars in Diapers, Hiding Coffee Truths, and More

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! In this episode, Nick and Leah answer listener questions about dodging requests from mothers-in-law, playing unfortunate baby shower games, neglecting to disclose when you're serving half-caf coffee, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a hand-written thank you note if we could.)

QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:

  • What’s the best response when someone says they’re going to be out of the office?
  • How do I get my colleagues to stop asking me to get in touch with my husband on their behalf?
  • Should you tell guests when you serve less than fully caffeinated coffee?
