To write this note and stick it on my bedroom door...

[Fraida]

To stop the 3 short Fraidas from interrupting me mid lecture to ask for a snack, look at their donkey impression, tell me a poor joke and to complain.... and bypassing their father downstairs to do so 🙄

Mine would start with even if your leg was falling off, finishing with go ask your dad

TLDR

I’ve made similar. I like the subsequent idea of ‘the answer to your question may be here’, so true, if I added a box for ‘no I haven’t seen it, just have a proper look’ I think it covers everything!

Reminds me of when DS was small (he's 24 now). I used to tell him he could only interrupt me when I was on the phone if either the house was on fire or his sister was having a seizure (she had epilepsy). Anything else and it could wait until I'd finished.

I think I'm past giving them an option.

I'm considering writing

JUST FUCK OFF

Why can their dad not deal with a detached leg / arterial bleed / tiger attack / hamburglar? May I be the first to tell you to LTB?

I thought this was genius on Scottish Twitter:

Thats so odd, my DS came in to show me a donkey impression earlier today! Is this off a game or something? His impression was really shit as well

@Twinkie01 oh I hear you 😬 I’ve been very close to this on more than one occasion.

A colleague of mine was delivering a lecture online to 300 first year students and her six year old barrelled in asking her to plait the hair of a My Little Pony - she did this on autopilot without stopping her lecture 😂

@HarrysWife 😂😂😂 I now need to know if this is a ‘thing’!?

@user1495884673 you are right, I will rectify that immediately 😁

If anyone had a visual version suitable for 3 and 4 year olds I'd like to see it.

I teach and they have taken to drawing pictures/making stickle brick cars for my students 🙄

Mine says "unless you are silently bringing me coffee then do not enter".

Mine says do not enter unless you are on fire 😀 they are 11 and 13 though so pretty good at fending for themselves!

Mumma = 🤮

That's a beautiful and supportive sentiment, chocolatemademefat. Thank the gods above us mumsnet has posters like you to offer help, kindness and fun.

I love it.
I put one on my door last week too! It was shorter and more to the point:
Do not enter!
I’m on zoom
Dad’s home, see him.

@Fromage I’ve always wondered why people feel the need to be twats online, doesn’t bring much to the party!

I was on a 3 day weekend away and my daughter phoned me at 7am to ask what was for her packed lunch.
A) sort it yourself
Or
B) ask your father, he is literally in the same room as you and I am 200 miles away

So no, OP, YANBU!
