- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

No, I'm taking about literally receiving any presents at all and making opening then a big performance.
I'm lucky that most of the parents at my kid's preschool put "no presents please" on birthday invitations lol
Where I'm at, it's very normal to not open presents if there are any (it's also normal to have a no presents party). Instead the kid receiving gifts opens them after everyone leaves. I'm not sure where it started but I like it.
