I got a call at 10PM last night from the electric company about our power outage that happened last week. What the h? </p> Andrea on "My attitudes towards people who ring my doorbell has drastically changed since having kids!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-attitudes-towards-people-who-ring-my-doorbell-has-drastically-changed-since-having-kids#post-432692 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:48:14 +0000 Andrea 432692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My main issue is with all the landscapers who start mowing lawns, using leaf blowers, and cut up trees before 8 am and then all day long. Ugh, so annoying, but also part of life. However, like your doorbell thing, it has only gotten super grating once you have kids in the house that might be sleeping. </p> mrbee on "My attitudes towards people who ring my doorbell has drastically changed since having kids!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-attitudes-towards-people-who-ring-my-doorbell-has-drastically-changed-since-having-kids#post-432686 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 08:44:40 +0000 mrbee 432686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the doorbell goes off this morning at 7:45 am. Charlie had woken up at 6 am but I had fallen back asleep... oh well, I go and get the door.</p> <p>It's the gas company guy here to read the meter... not fun, but part of life right. Well as I walk towards the frontdoor of our brownstone, I can hear him also ringing the doorbell of at least one of our neighbors. Ok kinda rude at 7 something in the morning, but whatever. So I open the door, and he ignores me... looking through his papers. Then he says, "Oh sorry buddy, wrong address."</p> <p>Strike 3, pal! What I said next isn't really printable for a family blog. I mean, come on... if you're gonna be ringing doorbells at 7:45 am, try to ring the right ones??</p> <p>Ever since having kids, my attitudes towards people who ring my doorbell has drastically changed! I used to be mildly annoyed if people rang my doorbell late at night or early in the morning... now I just get so upset! I just feel like so many doorbell ringers forget that there are often sleeping kids involved.</p> <p>Has your attitude towards doorbell ringers changed at all since starting a family? </p>
