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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, who 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why not hand write it?

Oh, so defensive! I was simply giving advice, chill your life. Or keep arguing, it's fairly entertaining.

Your baby will get used to the dogs, people unfortunately won't get used to you having a baby around.

Sell the dogs for meth.

Get rid of the baby.

133- sure.. Someone would actually get rid their own flesh and blood for 3 energetic dogs. You're only 16, so you probably wouldn't understand. I'm the oldest of 4 and I know how it feels like to stay up all ends of the night helping to tend to a newborn. So Op wanting to post a sign to warn others of not waking the baby is completely understandable. Just incase you didn't know: a baby, especially newborns, cry because they're unfamiliar with the world and their natural instinct is to make loud noises when they feel unsafe, or uncomfortable (ex: hungry, needs a change, etc.)

Dear God I weep for the future of our youth with the comment from DrJesse there, wow
audiophileMom 11
Wow... Really? 1 gets thumbed down for making sense? Can't deserve it more than OP. Poor baby!!! Get rid of the canine or behave them.

148 - heard of a joke? And you're 17 so you can't really down on him since he's "only 16"

Why not just use a crayon to make it?

imperialtl 12
Straight up. Get rid of the source of the problem.

I totally agree. Honesty I think the child is more important than 3 retarded dogs.

How do you know thats why they do it? Did you ASK the little ugly maggots?
alphatoomega 21
#1, that's what I came here to say. I don't know why that comment is.getting thumbed down. Seems perfectly logical if they're causing that big a problem.

You now have a sign for future use, use it.

Probably not the best time to have dogs.
2ndSucks 15
Right, it would be much more logical to get rid of all your pets each time the kid takes a nap.

What can dogs do that kids can't? All they do is complain, whine, and sleep. Dogs can save hurricane survivors, chase convicts, and provide protection

Shut the **** up!!
