Today, after finally getting my newborn baby to sleep, I made a sign to put on the door asking people not to knock or ring the bell, since our 3 dogs will bark loudly and wake the baby. When I went to print the sign, my dogs barked like crazy at the sound of the printer. FML

Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML

Good night, sleep tight

Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML

Today, I’ve been at my new house for a week. My new neighbour’s dog barks non-stop all day, and their newborn baby cries non-stop all night. FML

Today, my pregnant wife paged my emergency line at work. Thinking she was in serious danger, I raced home and found her hysterically crying. When I asked her what was going on, she replied, "The dogs won't stop barking!" FML

Today, I went over to my neighbours' to politely complain about their dog, which had been barking non-stop for hours. This issue has been going on for months, and I finally decided today, of all days, was the day to resolve it. When I got there, they'd just got home from giving birth at the hospital. FML

Today, our deaf old dog not only barks for no reason while lying comfortably on her dog bed, lacking for nothing, she now also barks in her sleep. And not those dreamy little yips either; full barks, loud enough to be heard in the next room. Which is where I sleep. FML

Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML

Today, I was frantically woken up from a nap by my son who was scared because there was a dog in the house. We don't own a dog. It was the new neighbor's dog. When my son opened the door to go play outside, the dog came barreling in. My kid and cats were terrified. FML

Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML

Today, my dog won't stop barking at his own shadow, my cat won't stop purring while kneading on me, and my new kitten won't stop squeaking. It's all very cute, but I can't sleep at all. FML

Why not hand write it?

Time to go with the traditional crayola markers and white printer paper.

Why don't you train your dogs not to bark all the time? Less headaches for you, more sleep for baby.

Don't have kids when you don't know how to raise a dog..!

In OP's defense, she could have adopted them. Although, if she did in fact raised them from puppies and didn't train them well, she definitely deserves it. Same goes for the kid when it grows up.

Teaching a DOG to not bark at situations and noises like OP's perdicament is not the same as raising a HUMAN CHILD for 18 years. Desire to control someones life, much?

At least you have the sign now. Save it so you don't have to print another.

Why didn't you just make a hand written sign?!

This is the OP - I should add that my dogs have never barked at the printer before...I couldn't even hear the printer, because it's in another room. Apparently, this time one of my dogs heard it and decided it was a threat, and started barking, which set off the other two. Also, I printed it because my house has 3 possible doors people could come to, so printing 3 pages instead of writing it out by hand 3 times took less time.

Why didn't you just write it out and stick it on the door? It would have saved the trouble of going on the computer, making the sign, turning the printer on, printing, making the dogs bark, and waking the baby.
