Any parent knows the struggle all too well. After rocking, swaying and perhaps some begging, you finally get your child to go down for a nap. Then the doorbell rings.
Cue one screaming child, one cursing parent and one unsuspecting person on your front step who’s about to get an earful. In an effort to thwart these nap destroyers, some parents leave notes warning folks of the doom that awaits if they dare to ring the doorbell while Baby is asleep. Consider these hysterical do-not-disturb doorbell notes as inspiration or at least your daily laugh.

The best part of your new prize? No batteries needed.

Seriously, don’t ring the doorbell. Don’t even walk heavily. Just back away slowly and you’ll be fine.
It’s a trap
Do you kind of want to ring the bell just to see what happens?
Broken bell
Ouch, this burn hurts. Less than the apparent beating that’s coming if you ring the doorbell, though.
Fair warning
You don’t want to risk it. Not even the professor in Back to the Future could pull off that hair.
Direct threat
This mamma’s not pulling any punches.
The one exception
Will wake Baby for Tagalongs.
Sniper alert
Just so you know…
Naked neighbor
That’s one way to get people to stop ringing your doorbell.
You’ve been warned
At least they’re perfectly polite about it.
No solicitors
Magazines, cookies, religion… that covers pretty much everything.
Crazy dog alert
It’s not just sleeping babies you have to look out for.
Don’t bang on glass
No one knows how to get their point across like a mom on too little sleep.
Crabby kid alert
It’s not just the kids who cry if you ring the doorbell during naptime.
Good luck
Just text; it’s so much easier.
Do not disturb
They really, really don’t want you to bother them. Like, at all.
Angry pregnant lady
Hell hath no fury like a pregnant woman who thought you were her Amazon Prime order.
‘Breaking Bad’ fan
The irony is seeing this only makes you want to ring the bell… if only to tell them how much you love the show too.
You don’t know me
She’s not being rude; she’s just being honest.
Only ring if…
There are only two times when it’s acceptable to wake a baby — for money or for Channing Tatum.
Thin Mints welcome
No one can be upset over an unexpected visitor when there are cookies involved.
Dear UPS driver
You wake them, you take them. Or in other words, “I’ll trade you this screaming baby for my package.” Consider it a tip.
