Which is about once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086675 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 02:31:37 +0000 mrs.cookie 1086675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday! My son just loves getting the mail straight from our super friendly postman, who ride a motorbike (extra cool points for a 3 yo boy). We run out the front as soon as we hear the bike. Then I'm like: bills. Great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086660 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 02:05:22 +0000 Pepper 1086660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually everyday. I enjoy getting it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086593 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:24:43 +0000 Ginabean3 1086593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday! I love getting the mail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086589 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:15:43 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1086589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the mail every day. DH was horrible at remembering to get it so I took the key when I moved in. He actually had his mail stop being delivered because there was no more room in the box. We have a townhouse so the box is tiny but still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086552 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 22:15:04 +0000 Andrea 1086552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 2-3x a week? I don't like to bother unless I am expecting a package or my US Weekly. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086547 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 22:12:20 +0000 Ree723 1086547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a mailbox attached to our house, next to the front door, whilst growing up and it was great. Our mailman was a bit nuts so we'd always hide when he delivered it but then would take it out of the box right away. I loved the convenience.</p> <p>Now, I get it maybe once a week or if I see mail sticking out of it. I just can't be bothered to go downstairs and walk around the front of the building to get the mail. Too lazy. </p> <p>Sigh, I really need to put the mail key on DH's keys as he parks his work car out front and walks right by the mailbox to come in every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086399 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:17:44 +0000 Meridian 1086399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once or twice a week... which reminds me, it's been a while! It's probably stuffed full with junk!</p> <p>Our mailbox is outside our front door (we're in a 3-flat), and we always go in and out of the back door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086387 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:01:39 +0000 Pink Champagne 1086387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get it every day. I have a weird obsession with it. I think it stems from growing up when there was never anything exciting to do during the day all summer, so literally the most exciting thing to happen would be getting the mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail/page/2#post-1086380 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:57:11 +0000 Bookish 1086380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: haha on the days I get the mail, DH asks "Did I get that check for a million dollars yet?" :p </p> <p>We check it pretty much every day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1086204 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:34:08 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly ever! DH always gets it. If it was up to me it would pile up for days. He's the financial organizer/overseer of the bills. Pulling bills out of the mail just ruins my day!<br /> I love when I get invitations though.</p> <p>Oh! I forgot I ordered a decal for my car. It should be in today. DH is at a stag party and forgot to check. I'm gonna go check right now!</p> <p>ETA: Not here yet. :( just bills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1086203 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:33:50 +0000 Bao 1086203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1086190 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:27:43 +0000 Cole 1086190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @swurlygurl: We have a mail slot! It is awesome, we never have to worry about stopping our mail for vacation or anything. Plus, we have a sort of vestibule area at our front door, so basically is is front door and then a small entryway with the coat closet and then you open another door that actually goes into the foyer so I am hoping by the time our kids can open the door they will be past ripping checks! </p> <p>I check it daily usually but often if it is nothing but ads I leave it there and I just collect all the recycling once a week-- it drives my husband nuts though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085420 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:33:54 +0000 mrs. bird 1085420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm bad about this! prob once a week, it's in front of our building, but i don't even have a key to get in the door out front, so i don't like going that way. i'm sure our mail carrier hates me, but it's cool, i'm not a fan of his either (we have issues with mail going MIA &amp; our box is locked) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085396 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:27:18 +0000 MapleMoose 1085396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always forget too. Luckily our new home came with a giant mailbox so it never gets full, even with packages. Guess the previous owners forgot a lot too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085385 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:24:38 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1085385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! One of us will usually walk LO down to the mailbox and get it. </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: I love this! We're hoping to do the same thing with S once he gets big enough to walk down himself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085376 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:23:26 +0000 avivoca 1085376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085361 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:18:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 1085361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>every day. the mail box is right outside my door! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085339 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:10:49 +0000 dagret 1085339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day. But we get LOTS of mail due to DH's job. When we had a PO box I'd get it 2-3 times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085319 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:03:31 +0000 swurlygurl 1085319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: That is adorable! That would make it totally fun to get the mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085312 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:01:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 1085312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We check every day because getting the mail is one of LO's favorite activities. We walk down the driveway (or she rides on her little fire engine that I push), and she opens the box and I always say "OMG E! You got mail! This one's for you! Wow!" and hand her some piece of mail, which she proudly waves back and forth in the air all the way back up the driveway. She kills me sometimes with her cuteness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085311 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:01:11 +0000 swurlygurl 1085311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Oh man, that would be amazing!!! Until DD got to it before I could and ripped up a check or something ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085308 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:00:07 +0000 Ash 1085308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day but that's because it's delivered right to the house. When I used to get it at the post office, I'd get it every couple weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085298 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:58:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1085298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up our front door had a mail slot. Did/ does anyone else have that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085292 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:57:05 +0000 GrapeCrush 1085292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day. DS likes getting the mail with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085245 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:41:08 +0000 Dandelion 1085245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085235 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:38:35 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1085235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every afternoon as soon as it arrives little man holds my hand, walks down the stairs, down the walkway holding my hand. Then I pick him up, he opens the mail box, hands me the mail, closes the box. Then we walk back to the house.</p> <p>It's a post-nap ritual at this point. Something we started about two months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085204 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:26:38 +0000 Smurfette 1085204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every night! It gets R a little walk after bath before bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085199 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:24:33 +0000 runsyellowlites 1085199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our mailbox is literally right next to the door so everyday. When we lived in our apt &amp; had to go upfront to get the mail I got it maybe 1x a week, it didn't help that we were on the back side of the complex so usually went out the back exit. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-mail#post-1085198 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:24:28 +0000 pui 1085198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Haha I'm dreading the day I move to a newer community where we have the joined mailboxes I'll have to walk to. When that happens I'll probably be getting the mail much less often! Especially in the winter! </p>
