We have the monitor on and it's kinda sad b/c some of my mind/attention is always going there to make sure nothing is happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885747 Mon, 27 May 2019 19:53:57 +0000 delight 2885747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don’t have a lock on our door. Our kids don’t wake up at night but usually we DTD during the day and just turn the tv on for them downstairs. Then we just say we are “making the bed” and make it a quickie. Our kids are pretty tv obsessed and we can count on them staying put on the couch til we come back down. Our DD walked in on us in the bathroom at our last hotel. That was super awkward but she was half asleep so I don’t think she realized what she was was seeing. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885645 Sat, 25 May 2019 23:10:48 +0000 QBbride 2885645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we don’t, my kids almost never wake up and definitely not that early at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885418 Thu, 23 May 2019 12:15:17 +0000 agold 2885418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: This made me laugh! :silly: </p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Do the "phantom noises" ever go away??? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885374 Wed, 22 May 2019 21:53:05 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2885374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have loud as crap footsteps so no, not usually! Though I've been known to hear "phantom noises" and DTD looking over my shoulder the entire time 😂 maybe we should get a lock </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885365 Wed, 22 May 2019 17:22:47 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2885365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually put the door monkey on my kid’s door for this because we’re in a temporary living space for the next few months and I don’t want to make major changes (though a locking door is hardly major). We use it on their door fairly frequently so it’s not unusual for them to see it on their door.</p> <p>My four year old is always sneaking up to our door at night so I know there’s going to be one night we forget to lock the door and she busts in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885322 Wed, 22 May 2019 12:29:30 +0000 Beebeeholiday 2885322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have a lock. But our kids our sound sleepers (7, 5, 3) and have NEVER woken up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885279 Wed, 22 May 2019 08:33:42 +0000 graceandjoy 2885279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have locks either, we usually just get to it right after they go to sleep b/c it's pretty safe to say that they are definitely asleep between like 8:30/9-11. So for now we have a safe window so to speak... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885274 Wed, 22 May 2019 08:20:02 +0000 bhbee 2885274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually won’t in the evening because they rarely get up at that time - wakeups are more likely after midnight when we are sleeping (and thankfully not that frequent these days). And we don’t want to forget and have it locked all night. We have locked it when we needed to do daytime for scheduling reasons - park them with Netflix and make it quick! 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885273 Wed, 22 May 2019 08:19:32 +0000 lindseykaye 2885273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lock the door if it's during awake hours, we don't if it's at night after bedtime. </p> <p>After baby #2 I got several of those door cushions that you put over the door handles across the latch so that DD1 couldn't accidentally slam doors and wake the baby. I purposefully did NOT get one for our bedroom so that we didn't have to fumble with it to take it off if we wanted to fully shut and lock the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885272 Wed, 22 May 2019 08:13:29 +0000 josina 2885272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to BD unless our door is locked. I walked in on my parents once (probably at 6 or 7?) and will never forget it, so I'm making damn sure my kids don't do it.<br /> Our LO's do come to our room every night though, DS around midnight and DD later. So we lock the door, DTD, and unlock it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885269 Wed, 22 May 2019 08:06:53 +0000 Corduroy 2885269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got DH a lock for Christmas one year. I think it was his favorite present ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885259 Wed, 22 May 2019 07:35:05 +0000 ALV91711 2885259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't lock the door as we only BD when the littles are sleeping. Baby is in a crib and DS pretty much never gets out of bed once he's asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885257 Wed, 22 May 2019 07:17:40 +0000 Ajsmommy 2885257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't lock bc DS is still in a crib and can't get out and DD (even though she is 5) does not get out of her bed UNLESS she calls and calls and we don't respond.. sooo we just have to be cognizant of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885242 Wed, 22 May 2019 01:33:31 +0000 cyoung 2885242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cause when we do BD its even the kiddos are in bed. We shut their door so they don't walk out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bding-when-you-have-kids#post-2885241 Wed, 22 May 2019 00:34:22 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2885241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you lock your door to ease your nerves of little ones walking in? Our door doesn’t have a lock. Considering getting one! </p>
