Share the scariest situations you've ever been in!



I was babysitting my 10 year old sister & 9 year old cousin one night. My (then 2 yr old) was sleeping up in his room, and DH was up stairs in our bed. I had a "camp out" in the living room with the younger girls. I woke up at 3am to a loud crash downstairs (we live in a tri-level) I sat up, thought maybe I was dreaming, and laid back down. A few min later I heard stuff breaking & loud crashes again! I woke up the girls told them to go in my sons room & lock the door! I woke up my DH and he came downstairs, he opened the door & we noticed that the ground level window was broken. I was on the phone with 911 at this point! My husband went down stairs & opened the door to my sons play room, that is where the noise was coming from...he peeked in & screamed and then slammed it shut! He shouted "there's a deer in there" yep, a deer broke into our house, fell right through the window! The police showed up right away & helped us get it out...I had hours upon hours of cleaning to do...what a mess, but I guess a deer is better than a person! And before people say my DH is crazy for "investigating" he was well prepared with a weapon...

Quoting rugratwrangler: I was home with my kids just had my youngest dd c section a week before and my dh was at work. It was about 2 am I was bfing the baby and I heard our sliding door slid open. Peeked out and some guy was in my house. Grabbed my gun and called 911 and about shit myself. I yelled out to the guy I have a gun and I will kill you the police are already on the way. He ran out. They caught what I think was him down the block.
One of my biggest fears! Thank god you were awake & heard him whe you did!!!

Quoting jordynlee18: That's funny, but only because it didn't happen to me. :)
