I used my own diapers and wipes, and made sure to leave the area very clean. ... I began to worry that asking to use another baby’s changing station was a faux pas.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My friend and I both have babies. When I was at her house and needed to change my baby’s diaper, I asked if I could use her baby’s changing table. She seemed a little surprised, but said yes.
GENTLE READER: That any alternative would have been a far more unpleasant surprise. Nevertheless, Miss Manners suggests that next time you ask your baby to hold it.DEAR MISS MANNERS: During the particularly dark and dreary days of winter, I invited two couples to our home for an evening of chili and board games. I planned to serve an excellent white chicken chili that won my company’s chili cook-off.
I served a lasagna instead and vowed never to invite these rude people to my home again. I think the only appropriate response to a dinner invitation is to graciously accept or decline. The only exception is if there is a dietary condition that must be accommodated. Am I right, or am I being overly sensitive?
Do I owe her a thank-you note for the dinner? I have not received a note from her for the play, and I don’t want my note to come across as, “Hey, where is MY thank-you?”
