I hate it HATE IT HATE IT when someone just HAS to knock and set me dog off. Boy sleeping soundly until I got a certified letter. My mail man doesn't normally come until like 3:00. Today he knocks at 12:52 and now every one is awake. Of course this is the first day I pushed nap back 30 min for our new schedule and no one fell asleep until close to 12. Now I'm going to have grumpy boys. GRRRRRRRR. Guess its time to put my DO NOT KNOCK FOR ANY THING sign up on the door. sheeeeeesshh

what I hate is when someone comes to try and pass out flyers for lawn care or talk to you about God. Thanks, couldn't you see through the glass front door all the kids sleeping around the room/!!! If I saw kids sleeping within eyeline of the door, if someone wasn't expecting me, I'd text them. If it was a stranger, no way would I knock. specially, b/c I have the loud dog as well.... -

Though I don't have a dog, I had a heavy handed knocker yesterday during naptime.
County Assessor, just needed to verify some info. Seriously?????? Send a flippin letter! Best was when she got frustrated with me because I kept having to go tend to the now awake children.
Sorry your dck are up :-( Makes for a long afternoon.Comment

One of our neighbor kids a few house down came over 1/2 way through nap today and knocked on my door to ask if I wanted lemonade. He didn't have it with him so I just told him I'd pay for some and he could drink it. (I didn't want him back) but of course the dog started barking and woke up 1/2 the kids.
I'm thinking they have a babysitter there because I don't think his mom would have let him ride his bike here to ask me that. I hope not anyways.Comment

I actually do have a DO NOT KNOCK sign on my door.
Its says, "SHHHH!!!! CHILDREN SLEEPING! DO NOT KNOCK! (With a picture of a knocking hand and a red circle with a line through it) If you are a parent, please call to let me know that you are here. Anyone else, please come back later!"
Every once in a while though, I get someone who cant read English that knocks anyway. GRR.Comment

I used to have a sign that says "Shhhhh... It is nap time here at Sprouts. Please refrain from knocking. Thank you" It got messed up about a month ago and I didn't have any other problems so I kind of forgot. Now it is reprinted and sealed in plastic so it will not be messed up. It will definitely be going on the door tomorrow.Comment

I totally hate this! And for me it always happens on days when they really need the nap! My dog goes ballistic and wakes nearly everyone up, even in when she (or they) are in the next room. Usually when I see someone coming I'm running around like a mad man trying to get the dog to the garage before the knock! :
:
I had a "no soliciting" sign but the mormons and Jehovahs just ignored it so I added "or distribution of religious material" to it and that has really stopped them. Except the occasional "high school" kid trying to sell me something so he can go on a trip
I just let the dog lunge and the screen a few times though ::

Oh and I also have the mail lady trained. She always knocks softly during nap time.
Monday I had a baby with a cold. Couldn't let him cry cause he then couldn't catch his breath, etc. if he got on a crying jag. So after practically having to hold him all day he finally falls asleep on me. Of course, a salesman came to the door (the ADT security guy). He has this huge smile on his face and I have baby in my arms. I HAD to answer the door though cause he knocked loud and others were sleeping! So he pipes up "Hi, how are you this afternoon?" I actually said (and then felt a bit bad afterwards) "Well I was fine until you woke up this baby sleeping on me." The baby actually hadn't woke up but I wanted to lay a guilt trip on this guy....haha. Actually he did me a favor as by then I figured I'd try to put baby back in his bed and he slept an hour!!!

FOR SERIOUS!?!?!?! Plain as day I have the naptime sign up and instead of knocking on the door the UPS man RANG THE GOSH DARN DOORBELL!!!!! I am now adding a sticky note that says, "That includes DOORBELL, UPSman!!!"
Oh well.. there were only 7 minutes of silence scheduled for nap any way. Could have been worse.Comment
