How often do you get the mail? I always forget... I just realized that I haven't gotten the mail since... last Thursday? Oops!

Once a week unless I'm expecting a package. Our old postman caught on, when I received a package, he would throw all of my mail in the same box so I would take it.

I weirdly get it every day obsessively. Even though there is never anything good in there.

Usually everyday. Our mail lady does a great job of shaming me if I piss her off. Notes, rubberbands because it's SO much mail, or just witholding it for a few days.

Everyday... who ever is the first one home usually gets it out of the box

Sometimes only once a week and usually 2-3 times a week unless I'm expecting something.

Every day at 5. We get it & wait outside for papa to get home!
Except now that I bruised my foot bones getting the mail last week, I refuse LOL

Everyday! There's always a chance someone could send me money

@Mae: Same!
I get it everyday knowing there's nothing exciting in there.

@swedishfish: I ran wearing flip flops and fell.
I'm working on a cover story. Telling the truth makes me sound like a lame-o!

@Mae: @babyjmama: Haha - I think that's my problem. Sometimes it's been 2 or 3 days and there's NOTHING in there! Not even ads? So boring...

@Mae: I do the same!
I have an excuse now, though. E and I walk around the complex a lot and end up there. He likes to open and close our box!

@pui: I would love that. I have to walk the equivalent of a block to get mine. That walk's not bad at all, but when I get home DD is whining for her bottle, and then our routines start so I just forget to trek out there

Every day. The dog would be very upset if I didn't let him pee on the mailbox at least once per day.

@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!

Our mailbox is literally right next to the door so everyday. When we lived in our apt & 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

Every night! It gets R a little walk after bath before bed

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.
It's a post-nap ritual at this point. Something we started about two months ago.

Growing up our front door had a mail slot. Did/ does anyone else have that?

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.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Oh man, that would be amazing!!! Until DD got to it before I could and ripped up a check or something

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.

@yoursilverlining: That is adorable! That would make it totally fun to get the mail.

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.

Every day! One of us will usually walk LO down to the mailbox and get it.
@yoursilverlining: I love this! We're hoping to do the same thing with S once he gets big enough to walk down himself!

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.

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 & our box is locked)

@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!
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!

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!
I love when I get invitations though.
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!
ETA: Not here yet. just bills.
