Totally sympathise, I'm laid back about it during the day, was told to get on with life and not tiptoe round the baby- seems to have worked, she sleeps through the hoovering being done! weirdly I always hate it when the bell goes at night! It's ok if she is already asleep, it's callers at the crucial 7 ish that get glared at!! Ironically the last one was a chap collecting for save the children!!

Have you tried hanging a sign over the knocker to say 'Baby Sleeping'? Oddly, Little Saff is usu ok with the door, but it always makes me jump! As for leaflets, don't even get me started. Imagine tryin to get buggy and baby out the door, with out letting naughty cat out the front, while sliding all over a pile of leaflets the size of Mont Blanc. Arrrgh.

Hmmm, perhaps I'll get one of those 'Beware of Dog' signs, and cross-out the 'Dog' to read 'Beware of MUM'!

When sitting in our front room, the front door is in hall right 'behind' where I sit - when girls were little if anyone knocked on the door they would jump out of their little babygrows/startle awake etc!!


At that point I got a doorbell and put a note on the door saying "Please ring bell, don't knock, new baby in house" and it did seem to work (so many people send parcels for new baby, poor postmen must be a bit paranoid!!)....but every battery operated doorbell we have seems to go kaput after a couple of months and stop working, so now girls are 2 and 6 I've gone back to the good old door knocker, and now have to put up a sign saying "Knock HARD, can't always hear over the children"!!!


LOL, how life goes in circles......

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
