I feel crazy.. but I am a very protective person. I typed up a paper of request for my family that wants to be around my newborn when he is here. I am a first time mom and I just feel like everyone needed to know what it's going to be like when he is here and that way I don't have to tell anyone over and over. I just want the best for my baby boy :/ is that a crime? So far no one has complained because my requests are simple and common sense but I have a feeling someone is going to have a field day over it! Not sure who but if they can't follow a couple simple tasks then they don't need to be around my kid.. all I ask is to not smoke around him, don't come over sick, call before you come over, I asked my mom and MIL to get a whooping cough shot in which they already did as did me and my husband, show me pictures before posting on social media, and to be patient when I'm in labor even if it takes 20 hours! Simple right?
It's your baby and you know your surroundings best. If you feel like you needed to point them out then go right ahead for your babys safety. I agree with you that even when these things are common courtesy, a few of us just dont get it.
Trust me, there are a few of those people who just dont care to be considerate as it's in their nature to be so... during group pics at my baby gender reveal party this one person decided to throw the middle finger in all of the pictures but two at the very end where everyone had stopped posing already. I was so sad, and so from my experience IF you have to make one, go right ahead!
@jasthorpe413 its kinda sad I had to make one but some people in my life just don't understand how some of these can be harmful if not fatal to a baby...
@bbyzvcy18 Thank you very much! I have some family members that thinks it's okay to smoke around babies, come around being sick while I'm pregnant, and don't understand to call before coming over. I'm not a mean person what so ever and people have there own opinions. I can't help what they do to other people but I can help with what they try to do with mine.. and I won't stand for it even if I have to get out of that hospital bed just after I have him to knock some common sense into someone's head lol.
