A few days after I got my brand-new, light-colored couch, I had friends over with their new baby. When the dad started changing the baby’s diaper directly on my new couch, I quickly offered to put a blanket down.New parents are told that their baby is upset for one of a very limited number of reasons.
I am going to visit my auntie in two days, and I intend to bring a handwritten thank-you card with me to give to her in person. Miss Manners, am I in the wrong? My auntie didn’t mail the card to me directly or arrange a time for us to visit and deliver it to me in person. She had my mum act as a go-between to deliver my birthday gift, well after my birthday. None of this upset me until I learned she was upset that I hadn’t expressed my thanks immediately upon receiving the gift.
