I hate that. We stayed at my mother-in-laws recently and her husband woke up at 4:30 in the morning on his day off and wanted to turn the tv on - in all its overpriced surround-sound glory. Our son was sleeping in the next room behind a glass door. What is wrong with people???notjustagirlintheworld says,
nicely played, sorry for your trouble.treehugger says,
My MIL was the inspiration for this one. She showed up during nap time and rang the doorbell and came in just long enough to talk unnecessarily loud and then asked if Liam was sleeping. I felt like saying "probably not anymore". Sure enough, she turned and left and he started hollering. Maybe I'm just being sensitive but I would never ring a doorbell at a house where I know there's a baby. I'm thinking of having it removed.
