Today, I finally got my stubborn toddler to take an afternoon nap after an hour and a half of wrestling with her. Ten minutes later, a UPS package arrived at my door. The UPS man decided it would be a good idea to ring my doorbell repeatedly in rapid-fire sequence as he was walking away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it took me 2 hours to get my toddler to sleep. Just after I got him down, my mom woke him up by banging my pots and pans around in the sink. FML
Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML
Today, I learned that last week, the UPS man gave my package to my neighbor for safekeeping. It was over five-hundred dollars' worth of merchandise. My neighbor left for Canada on Saturday. FML
Today, my son took a nap quietly for the first time ever. As I went to wake him up, I realized why. A previously poop-filled diaper came flying at me when I opened the door. 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, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, I was expecting a package from Amazon, so when the doorbell rang I rushed out in my pajamas. It wasn't the delivery guy. It was my ex and her new boyfriend, here to drop off some of my old stuff. I'd answered the door wearing an anime onesie. FML
Today, I got a notification that a package had been delivered. I opened my door and saw it on at doorstep. I was expecting one, so I grabbed and opened it, then realized it wasn’t mine, but my neighbor’s. I had to awkwardly re-tape it, then sneak over and leave the disturbing contents of the box on their porch before they noticed. 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, I was home alone tanning in my backyard which is fairly secluded. I took my top off and laid there for awhile before I looked over and saw the UPS guy standing at my gate with a package because nobody answered the door. I looked horrified and he said not to worry, he'd seen better. FML

UPS delivery men just want to watch the world burn I swear.

You should put up a sign at your door asking people not to knock so loud, or not to ring the doorbell.

That would have been 1 angry complaint call to that particular UPS office.

Was the package roofies to knock your child out for a nice long nap? Because that's just irresponsible drugging your child like that.

Maybe you shouldn't have wrestled with your child with an hour and a half, then there wouldn't be such a problem.

That's why I always made lots of noise around my babies and kids so they would sleep through anything. And as a mama who has fought that long to get 18 month old asleeptake or leave this advice. Start skipping naps. Keep them up then start putting them to bed earlier than normal bed time to make up the difference. If they happen to doze off around four or five wake them up like thirty minutes later. Fighting only stresses you both out. Nap time was one of the few things I was lenient with and we were happier for it. Like I said take it or leave it. I know you will tons of advice. I hope something you read here on fml will help

That's good advice. I let my kids take naps when ever they want as long as they are awake from 6 to bedtime.

Jeesh people! You must not have kids to be saying she shouldn’t be mad about this. One run is all that is necessary to let a person know to go to the door. I have 2 toddlers and would be pissed if someone woke up one of them.

Get him fired!

For doing his job? God, it is like the second some people have kids, they turn into huge, self-centered babies themselves! If you really can't bare a second of your child being woken up, why do you even have a doorbell in the first place? Why can't you put a sign? It really isn't that hard!

You should try taking your child on a car ride with soft music playing. Many people in my family have done that to get their child to get to sleep. What's a few dollars for gas if it saves you an hour or more to get your child to sleep? Also if I was in your situation I would've gone out that and bitched the guy out, probably slapping him too. That's no way to treat someone, I don't care if you're an ass or not.
