Does it bother you if someone shows up unannounced?

I don't mind it. My friends who are likely to drop by spontaneously know my routine and they are not going to be taken aback if they find me on my "house" clothes or in the middle of something. Either they will join in and help out while we chat, until I am done and then I can offer them a snack or a drink, or they will understand if I explain that I am in the middle of something and I'll get back to them as soon as I have time. No problem at all for me. I like to have people over, even if it is a surprise. Friends and family know me enough to understand that when possible, I will roll out the red carpet for them, but when I'm busy, my humor and fridge-left overs are offered from the bottom of my heart and that is all.

I do mind it when the kids' friends come by without an invitation and on occasion I have asked them to come back some other time. My husband's friends and mine do not need me to worry about their safety or will throw a tantrum in the middle of dinner. Children will and that is why we need to plan a visit ahead of time. I don't particularly like to be this way but it is the reasonable thing to do.

I HATE when people show up without calling first. My grandma is real bad about this. Last time she did this I had just finally gotten motivation and started cleaning. She came in and sat down and I stayed in the kitchen doing dishes the whole time. I even told her when she got here that I was really busy. After sitting there about 15 minutes, she finally got up to leave and said "Well I'm going. Looks like you are busy." When I first had my son she kept trying to stop by all the time and I tried explaining to her that I was breastfeeding and to call first so I could keep a blanket or something handy. She one time kept knocking on my windows until I finally came to the door. She asked what took me so long and I told her I had been taking a dump lol.

I grew up in a very small town, it was very common for someone to randomly show up on your doorstep at some point during the day. It doesn't bother me at all. People that show up on at my door are usually very understanding if I have other things going on. It's very really been a huge issue for me. Again, I grew up with it.

My kids friends usually play outside, so I don't mind. I don't really have a lot of things in my house that kids would consider exceptionally fun. They prefer to play outside when they come over. I think the only thing that annoys me about kids showing up at my door is the excessive doorbell ringing. I feel the need to constantly tell the kids "once is enough, seven times is a bit overkill".

I HATE it! I like to know and expect every person who is ringing my doorbell. We are bombarded with solicitors of all types throughout the day, so I don't know whether it is someone I know or someone that is trying to sell me something. We have a giant glass window right next to our door (which I have been meaning to get blinds for), and it seems like every person can stare into my house and see what's going on and if we are home. Even if I don't know someone, it's pretty awkward to make eye-contact with them and still not answer the door.

I hate to be that person, but I am seriously considering getting a "No Soliciting" sign, so at least I can only answer the door to the other 5% of people who are unwelcome.

Yes, unless you are bringing me cookies, are publishers clearing house with a giant check, or are there to ask how I'm doing and genuinely care and listen, please call/text first. Please don't drop your kids off for me to "babysit", I already have enough kids of my own and most days I'm already worn out. I might be having intimate time with my spouse when you drop by. Which is awkward and has happened several times. All I'm saying is, if you stop by unannounced I might or might not answer the door.

If it's my friends or family coming over just for a social call, then I extremely dislike that, as I often haven't made time to sit and talk or whatever. I've told my sister and friends to call before but they sometimes forget. As for my parents, I didn't tell them because my mum would start an argument.

As for my kid's friends, I tend not to mind, as long as it's not early in the morning or late at night. I always check who's at the door though, in case I'm wearing something a bit revealing and it's my oldest friends, who are teenage boys. I don't need them seeing my stuff.

Kids will be kids. They aren't at the age where they really care about the social norms and appropriate behavior of their parents. They just want to visit their friends. As for adults, they should know better, you don't show up at someone's house unnanounced. when we were kids, we went over our friends house all the time unannounced and they did the same at our house. It's just not something children think about.

Yes, that's annoying if the person keeps doing it after you've asked them to stop. I have a family member that was like this, I stopped answering the door anyways she would honk her car horn, go to every window, knock and look in the window.

For the kids, I just say he can't play right now come back tomorrow. The kids don't bother me, because we are in town and I just expect them to want to play.

whilst the two mum and dad getting alongside for the period of this occasion is significant for the youngsters it is likewise significant to enable this guy or woman understand which you are the guy of this domicile now and her modern-day and for the the remainder of her existence husband and in simple terms tell him that's not appropriate for him to do the flaws he has been doing. tell him you already know by your guy or woman toddler how significant the two mum and dad are yet which you do not do those issues on your ex and he can't be allowed to proceed to do his own element. He needs to evaluate the reality that if he upsets the mum he upsets the youngsters. Have a rational grownup verbal substitute with him and then get a restraining order. If she will't tell him you may desire to yet in a effective way and attempt to not reason it to be worse.

We live in an unofficial urban commune...people are in and out all day...the only time the door to our apartment gets closed is when I go to sleep...so, it's shut for like four hours a day, in the middle of the night. Other than that, drop on in...no problem...if it happens to be a mess, and you don't like it, you know where the door is.
