Were you raised by wolves?

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! This week, Nick and Leah are enjoying a well-deserved break, but they'll be back next week with an all-new episode. In the meantime, here's one of their favorite episodes from the archives in which they 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 handwritten thank-you note if we could.)

QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:

• How do I decline my mother-in-law’s request to throw a dinner party in my home?
• What is the right way to ask friends if they are actually serious about throwing us a baby shower?
• 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?
