Cohousing-L Mailing List: Door Signs

[PattyMara Gourley (pattymara]

At Tierra Nueva we have many variations of the "Go Away" sign such as: 
"Rachel is Napping" or "Reading Time" or "Family Hour".  Mostly these
signs are put up for the free-range children of the community who travel
from home to home in search of play.  There is very little need to put up
signs for adults....we all lead busy full lives. When we do want to
interact, we still call first before visiting.  If someone needs time
alone, it is easily accomplished.  Private time is one of those 'before
move-in' fears that many of us worried about.  After living here five
years, it is such a non-issue for me, BUT, my children are grown.  If I
had younger children there would be much more traffic in and out my door.
 Thus, the signs for the families that do have young children.
