Someones knocking on my door before 8am!

[Heidict]

Saturday morning my DH got up at 7 so that he could shower and get out of the house around 7.30 to go get his hair cut. My DD, who is 1 1/2 heard him and woke up, so I was out of bed by about 7.20. Normally, we sleep until she decides it's time to get up, generally any where from 6.30 to 8am.

Well, this Saturday, I'm in the living room with my DD, trying to wake up when at 7.50am I hear a knock on our kitchen door. I thought it was very odd, but figured maybe my DH forgot something and came back. So I go and answer it.

Nope, not my DH, instead it's a friend of his. Seems he found out that my DH and another friend were going fishing that night and he wanted to go. So, he shows up at our house before 8 on a saturday morning!!!

Here I am, no bra on, hair pulled back in a frizzy ponytail and i'm still half asleep. I wasn't mad just amazingly shocked that someone would show up at someone elses house that early.

Am I living a sheltered life? Is this not that unusual and I just haven't been exposed to it or something? I won't even call someone before 9 or so just in case someone is sleeping in. I can't imagine going over to someone's house that early unless I was told by them to do it.

My DH has some weird friends.

I wouldn't be happy either. As a parent, I would never allow my child to show up at someone's house, uninvited, at that hour.

My SIL has 3 boys, and this happens at her house all the time in the summer.

Why didn't he call frist? Or did he assume that they were leaving to go fishing that early and didn't want to miss out on the fun?

Weird.

That would bother me too.

Ironically, a neighbor kid rang our doorbell at 7:30 this morning. It's summer, and I'm typically not out of bed before 8:00, let alone dressed and decent. Luckily, this morning we were expecting someone, so I was already up and dressed. Poor kid, he was out walking his dog, and there were two dogs loose and running through the neighborhood. We've only been here a week, and he thought they might be ours. No harm done since we were up anyway - I was just glad it wasn't my typical morning.

I wouldn't think twice about. He probably didn't want to call because the phone would wake up the baby, so he knocked on the side door. Its not like he does this every Sat morning. He wanted to go fishing.

This is yet another reason why I love living in a gated community. They have to call my house to be let in...so I just don't have to answer the phone!!

Actually, the babies room is right next to the driveway and the door and the phone is in our room. Of course, he doesn't live there and doesn't know this. All though, he may know which room is the babies. Not sure. My DH and him went to high school together but lost touch in their early 20's. They just recently (last 3 months?) got back in touch with each other.

So, my DH found out that he didn't call because he didn't have a phone, it was turned off. He called later from his fiancee's cell phone instead of coming by again. He knew that the fishing was for that evening around 9pm, so he had all day to get in touch with my DH, not sure why he felt it was so important to do it before 8 in the morning.

Oh, and the real funny part was he was never invited to go fishing. I swear my DH's friends are like a bunch of high school girls sometimes. Heaven forbid 2 go off together without inviting the rest, they whine and complain like a bunch of babies because they got left out.

Well, my sil , mentioned in post #2, does live in a gated community. It is the kids from the community that do the doorbell ringing.
