How does this email sound to send with a baby picture?

Hi __,





I am really excited for you too come and see your nephew. I would love to see you again, as would (my daughters' name). However, with the birth of my child has come an overwhelming sense of protectiveness. Therefore, I feel that if you arrive making belittling jokes or do not recognize that no means 鈥榥o鈥?or that stop means 鈥榮top鈥? then I will have to ask you to leave. I know that we have had our differences in the past and I would like to bridge this, but I cannot have our disagreements affecting my family鈥檚 balance, which is my priority right now. All I can ask is that you respect my requests because this is such a huge moment for me and I really hope to share it with you. I hope you call so we can arrange a time to get together very soon.





Love ___








Am not saying this in person or over the phone as he attacks me verbally and blames me for being manipulative, holding my kids randsom and not taking a joke. (In his defense, he can be a really really great guy)

I think it sounds fine, very assertive and firm, yet not aggressive or hostile.





I kind of wonder why you keep a relationship with him, though, since it seems that he treats you very cruelly. Yes, he is family, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to have contact with him. Also, it's better for a child to have no relationship with a certain relative at all than to have a bad one.





I'm really glad you're standing up for yourself and your kids with this email, and I hope he will see what's wrong with his behavior.
Reply:I think it sounds good. I hope you guys can start building a new relationship, but don't take any crap from him either. I wish you the best and congratulations!
Reply:it sounds great and straight to the point! =)
Reply:wow girl you put some thought into that!! lol sounds good to me!!
