When I get messages like this, I find all the hearts slightly patronising.

PS I don't think there's anything wrong with the rules, it's the way they've been given that would bother me.

I think it’s absolutely fine

I'm not surprised your friend is upset 2old4this the use of hearts dotted all over the place is no compensation for there not being a face to face conversation or one over the 'phone.

I wouldn't have a problem receiving that message if I were a friend or more distant relative, but as her mum!!!! I wonder what her m.i.l. thought when she received it.

Why can't people just talk to one another.

I think the older generation would think this is a bit precious to be honest. Yes, I get the ‘my baby, my rules’. Still.

While I'd maybe feel a little put out at not getting to see the baby, at the end of the day, it's their baby, their rules. I think the covid test thing, washing hands etc seems eminently sensible, to be honest - and the latest medical advice does advise against kissing babies.

A friend of mine received this message from her daughter, the baby will be her 1st GC, she is deeply upset. What would you think if you received this?

Meeting baby girl rules

Please respect that we would like time before you meet our baby girl for some rest ,to heal and for us to 1. Get a routine in place and for us to enjoy the moment first and bond ?

We will invite you over when we feel ready (2weeks) please no unexpected visits ❤️

We would feel more relaxed if you did a covid test before coming over ?

Please no Kisses, while we are still surrounded by covid and being winter colds, we would appreciate no kissing baby girl while her immune system is still weaker ? (includesWe will probably face time you all at some pint in the first few days and keep you updated within the 2 week window
This has been sent to all our family and friends xxx washing hands before holding her)

When you are invited over please don’t expect us to be making coffees or entertainment (not that’s you would ?) we will be exhausted! ?

Thank you ?
