| We have 2.5 bathrooms and 4 people in the house. Kids can only use master bathroom in an emergency. My daughter will ask permission if she needs to get something out of our bathroom-- like shampoo, conditioner, etc. I do not expect them to ask permission if they need to use the toilet. |

+1 Your DH sounds overly controlling. What is he hiding? He's in the living room but it bugs him if his own daughter goes into his bathroom for shampoo?? Sorry, but that's over the top. |

| Do you keep condoms or toys there? |

| I don't have a master bathroom. Apparently they weren't popular in 1925. |

| When I was a teenager my dad and stepmom used to lock the door to their master bedroom suite, including the bathroom. I still remember how hurt and excluded it made me feel. I don't do this with my children. They can use my master bathroom and bedroom as long as I'm not using it, and they must remember to clean up after themselves. These are my only rules. |

| No our room is always open and there is nothing in the room that we do not want them to see. He just feels that the hall bathroom is where she should go. Nothing going on in the bedroom that he is hiding. That was how he was raised and feels that the master bedroom for be for the adults in the home. |

| The "that's just how he was raised" excuse doesn't fly for me. If there are specific reasons he feels strongly about this, then he needs to lay them out, for all members of the household. Being raised a certain way simply perpetuates old norms that are probably not good norms. |

| I never went into my parents' room or bathroom growing up unless, when I was a teenager, my mom called me in to look at her outfit or help her pin her hair up. It didn't seem odd - they didn't invade my space unless they knocked / asked. |

| Maybe he's worried she will see him naked? My kids are young, and I have no issue with it. |

My three year only is in there if he is with me. As he gets older I can see him not being in there.
What's the need? It's our adult space. |

| I know how your DH feels OP. my teen DD has her own bathroom and yet continually comes into mine to put on make up, curl hair etc. she is a SLOB and I don't like her coming in and leaving her junk in my area ( including her very long hair in the sink). She can leave her crap all over bathroom if she wants. For me it's not really a privacy issue as much as just needing my space the way I want it. |

This is how both of my kids - now 9 and 5 - found out about the period.
Shit happens - especially in the bathroom. |

| I don't have a master bath so it does not bother me. |

It bugs me when our middle school son uses our bathroom because he leaves the seat up. For this reason, I have told him he can't use ours. He and his sister have their own bathroom.
