Dropping off too early?

[AmandaKDT]

I don't allow early drop offs. I'm not a morning person and 7am is already pushing it. Haha. My door stays locked till 7. Even if someone knocks at 655 or 658 i don't open it till 7. Just like going to a store that opens at 9 and u arrive at 850 cuz ur in a rush is the store going to open for you? Business hrs are business hrs may sound silly not opening my door for two minutes. But I have had to many cases where I gave that inch and low and below someone's knocking at 645.

So they just stand on your doorstep and keep ringing the doorbell? I haven't had this happen before, what happens when you finally open the door? What do you say to them?

Yes. That's what I've done. I open at 7:30, I had a family that showed up early a couple of times, and I let them in, but explained to them that they needed to wait until 7:30 next time, I would not open early. The next day, they tried coming early again. They rang my doorbell, and I finished getting ready just like I would on a normal day. When I came down and opened my door at 7:30, they were shocked, and they said "We were knocking." and I said "I was busy getting ready. I make sure that I am ready to open at 7:30" They never came early again.
