What is too early for someone to ring your door bell in the morning or to call.

Something that just happened got me to think about this, one of the neighbors children just rang my door bell, it is nine oclock, she was wearing her PJ's so I called her mom, her mom was still asleep and got all pissy because I called her to inform her that her four year old daughter was at my house and well in pajamas at that. I knew that since she was not dressed chances were her mom did not know where she was and well I have a rule, no child plays at my house unless I know their parent knows where they are. So of course I called the mom, she was really rude with me for calling her that early in the morning and waking her up. I informed her that I only called because her child was at my house and I wanted to make sure she knew. She then informed me that if bothered me that she was there to by all means send her home.
Okay this lady was over the top in my opinion, after all it is after nine in the morning and most people would be up, especially people whom have a four year old.

I could not agree with you more, it is sad and scary, that is why when I see her out playing I always ask her if her mom is around or if her mom knows she is over at our house, Granted she walks to our house through her side yard and does not enter the street, it is still not safe. I can not imagine how much I would freak out if I woke up and my children were not at home.

I would say any time after 9 at our house is good. We are usually up by 8. But I would like that hour after we are up to get breakfast and start our day without being interrupted. I can't believe though that the mother wasn't concerned that her daughter left the house in her PJ's without her knowing. Heck I say next time don't call her. Let her get up and worry where her daughter is for awhile. I would even consider calling Child Services and reporting it. What would happen if the little girl got picked up by some Pedophile or something?

i am usually up by 8 even when i dont have to go to work. i guess the only day that would really bug me is on a saturday when i can sleep in. why was the child there in the first place and why didnt the mother know where she was? sheesh, she is only 4 and when my daughters were 4 i was on top of their every move almost!

This is terrible, never mind whatever time you called her what was a four year old doing out of her own house on her own and why didn't the mother know where she was. How could she even get out of the house? To me this signifies zero parenting skills. Re the what time is acceptable to ring I would say never early on a Sunday in term times but then again I know exactly where my child is. Your neighbour sounds like a bit of a bully.
