[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious...if guests/ILs should be allowed in bedrooms, closets and cabinets, where DO you draw the line at privacy?![/quote]

Some of the posters have different boundaries for privacy, as do in-laws. For me, my bedroom, my bathroom, and closets are private. I don't want anyone in them, let alone poking through my things and changing my bed. I'm at that extreme end. My MIL is at the opposite extreme end.

My MIL didn't help when the babies were born, nor is she domestic or maternal. However, in her culture it's considered to be fine to get into everything related to your kids and their spouses, as if it's your own. According to her, they don't have a concept of privacy or boundaries. She will go through every drawer and closet to snoop and shuffle things around, find and open your hidden bag of sex toys, open and read your mail, you name it, if you let her. She feels it's her right. Needless to say, I don't have her over and she doesn't have a key.[/quote]
