Today, I finally got my screaming, teething, 1-year-old daughter down for a nap to hopefully get some work done. The second I opened my laptop, FedEx dropped off a package and rang the doorbell. My dog went nuts. Then my neighbor rang the doorbell to let me know I had a package. My daughter's awake now. FML

I'm OP. There has been a sign on my doorbell since I brought her home that says "IF YOU RING THIS DOORBELL YOU WIN A SCREAMING BABY", as for the dog she's been through training (several times) but she failed... but she's as good-natured as they come, and my neighbor means well, he wanted to make sure I brought in the package because there has been a lot of theft in my neighborhood lately. My daughter was very premature but never been sick so we use natural remedies over Orajel and Tylenol/Motrin, she rarely fusses about her teeth, it was just one of those days.

Why would your neighbors ring the bell? Is this some weird neighbor bullshit that people in suburbs do?

Put a sign on your door: "Caution: Sleeping baby. Caustic mother when wakened."

That's why I disabled my doorbell. I have a teething ten month old.

This is why most parents will put a sign on their door that says they have an infant/toddler and to not ring the doorbell.

This is the most bitchiest thing I've read in awhile.

It was not meant to be bitchy. Just I know some people do that and it was meant more as an idea, if they had not already done it (The did as the next comment suggested).

The first thing that came to mind when I read about your neighbor was that he was doing a friendly thing and not being nosy. Other people were quick to assume he was creepy, but you rarely hear about people doing that so it must have been for good reason. Hopefully your daughter feels better soon and you both can get some well needed rest!

don't worry OP, someday you will look back at these times with a sigh and a smile :))

That's why I always put a baby sleeping sign up.

Some days you just got to give up and crawl into bed and cuddle up.
