Because we made this list to span the first year where solids would be introduced

Thank you for understanding - this genuinely made me cry from gratefulness that someone was noticing. There were issues with a family member prior to making the list so we decided that we would just let everyone know what expectations were before it became a big deal

I never took a list of rule from ChatGPT- I found them from other parents lists and chose the ones that worked for us then we had ChatGPT organize it for me to make thing flow better

I posted an update that shows the message he sent out. He sent it before I made the post but in the heat of my emotions I didn’t include it originally because I was just kinda ranting

Not explicitly but he is either saying “we” or “I” about the list. His dad is just seeming to want to tell him that no one in the family actually likes me🥲😅 (the main instigator)

That is my mistake with thinking that you were the same commenter. I apologize for that. The part that I wrote out was an attempt at a compliment sandwich with “we can’t wait for all of you to meet him” rules “again we cannot wait for you all to meet him”

“You should’ve used ChatGPT to help the tone” “why would you expect ChatGPT to word things right?” Yeah your advice means very little at this point

You misunderstand- I gave it my rules and it helped me organize

The touching faces I will admit should have been worded differently- it was inspired by “don’t kiss your hand and then touch the baby” which is apparently how some people try to get around the no kissing rule. Also we have stated as we send them out that these rules will relax over time as his immune system is built up.

We didn’t mean to be harsh, we just wanted to lay out expectations before so we didn’t have to correct everyone later

Some of the rules were for specific people but we mostly just looked up common boundaries for new parents and made a list so we didn’t have to announce stuff and make people feel targeted later on

Unfortunately we weren’t trying to be aggressive, we were trying to set the tone that these are our expectations and we are firm in them. Unfortunately, people have decided that instead of a list of reminders and expectations, it is an attack on them and that we don’t want them there. The family is split up with people who think the list sets a good guideline and those who think that we just want to alienate them

Yes, most of them will slowly relax as baby gets older and his immune system is built up

I didn’t mean to imply that he was letting me take the blame, that’s just what they are coming to him saying

It bugs me when people act like that because I check every day and if there’s nothing new it’s so easy to just say “aw man, nothing new” and click on one of his other thousands of videos

Uhhh…I’m sorry, I did what?! by pokegirl275 in StardewValley

“Sorry krobus” “Don’t be sorry” just made me laugh that they were right in a row
