Let’s hope these 2 are good enough friends that they can laugh this off!
It’s a very intense list of demands. I don’t blame these parents for being overprotective, but it seems like it’s causing them so much worry that if I was the friend, I would straight up avoid visiting the baby until he’s older. I’d instead invite the parent to hang one on one! Because with all those rules, there’s no way you’ll get every single one right.
Even if you try your best… you might still do some of the things on the list, and wind up upsetting the friend. How do you not ask the baby “What’s wrong?” when they start crying? What else are you supposed to ask the baby, like, “Are your needs not being met? I’ll hand you back over to your parents, who can properly care for you.”
These parents should realize that their baby isn’t going to internalize anything people say to them at that age. It’s more about the tone of voice, making sure the baby is cozy and snug, making sure the baby is fed, dry, and warm.
But…. I have a feeling the parents will figure this out on their own soon enough!
People had a lot to say about this list of demands.
