Strollers stored inside at all times? Likewise Cozy Coupes, scooters, sidewalk chalk, random dump trucks, carefully curated piles of sticks and pinecones? Any irregular valentines and/or cut-paper snowflakes taped to your windows? What about sunshades, "baby on board" signs, and the fine layer of cheerios and raisins in your car?

THANK GOD you spend 20 minutes each night carefully erasing any evidence that a kid lives in your house. Otherwise, who knows...

We had our front windows bricked over. They were just too tempting to our toddler. He kept *gasp* looking out. Someone could have seen him!

We did the same thing with our car. At first, just the passenger windows, but then we decided to go full-on and do the windshield, too. I just kept driving in traffic and seeing how total strangers in their cars could see into mine. Really made me uncomfortable. I feel so much safer now.

My DH and I endlessly made fun of someone down the street who had a stork. But I was also concerned b/c they put the baby's FULL NAME, birthdate and weight and sex on the stork. Talk about a pedophile's dream and a perfect situation for identity theft. It's not 1950. Don't do a stork. It's just WEIRD, tacky, unsafe and cheesy.

There is nothing wrong with announcing the birth of your child by putting a sign in your yard, people are rudiculous

Aww I think it's cute! This is very common where I grew up and includes the baby's name. I think the hospital gives them out.

I love it when this thread is resurrected.

I read her post, then read it again and I don't recall her asking anyone's opinion on if it's "tacky" or not. Get over yourselves...who cares what you guys think?! She was just trying to help out the people who DO want a stork sign. Holy crap!

Took me a second, but this made me chuckle.

Do you get all packages from diapers.com sent to an anonymous post office box? Do you take the carseat out everytime you leave the car unattended? Because someone could see that and deduce that you have a baby.

I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, (other than my comments above) but I don't get it. What are the threats people are afraid of?

Ding ding ding ding ding we have a winner folks!!
