Baby shower etiquette question. I was invited to a shower that I can’t make so I plan to send a gift. Last time I did this (same family - different mother), a relative said that someone took the trouble to wrap the gift that I had sent through the registry on my behalf. I felt like I had put someone out by not wrapping, but of course I had the gift delivered directly through the registry. Am I doing something wrong? TIA

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?
