I need you to Help me to create a well behaved and trustworthy dog. Bite inhibition is so important even with a small dog. Can you imagine if a toddler went to pet my roxie and she bit on her fingers? How scarey for the child, and oh my what would the consequences be for Roxie? I do so want and need Roxie to be a very well behaved dog, safe for me to take into any situation. I can't do that without your help and support.

I think this approach is a good way to go. It shows concern for others and the puppy. Best interests for everyone involved is always a good approach when people aren't listening.
I'm sorry I don't have any specific advice of my own. With all my research, I've already made it clear to my family that is it my rules that go, no exceptions. Everyone is on the training boat with me and I will be compiling reading for them and strict guidelines before Rylie arrives in November. I made sure they were on the same page as me for developing a well behaved pet.
Maybe put it into terms they can understand? Like what would I have turned out like if you had spoiled me that much and let me break all the rules??? Maybe once you make that comparison they will see her more as a child not to be spoiled or they will exhibit bad and embarrassing behavior when they grow up and less like a cute little harmless puppy.
