[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you my SIL? My MIL does this too! It is so rude and it makes me so angry.  She has done this in her has as well as mine.  She walked in on me breastfeeding when I was in m own bed, in my underwear, in my own house.  The icing on the cake was she just let herself into my house so I didn't even know she was there.  When I said something about it, she said, "Well I knocked first, so it's okay."  Uh, don't most people knock to get permission to enter?  A knock isn't a warning, it's a request for permission.[/quote]

I’m curious what your response was? Did you tell it was NOT ok? She needs to wait for someone to let her in? [/quote]

Yes, I told her it was not okay, and that she needs to get permission to enter after knocking.  She still insists that it's perfectly okay for her to barge in if she knocks right before barging, and maintains that she did nothing wrong. She is never wrong, you know.  :roll: [/quote]

Are these knocks with no response and then an enter?  I mean, often if you own the house or are family visiting.  You knock to see if someone is in the room and then enter because you think noone is in the room.  This sounds like a lot of veiled hatred looking for an excuse to justify it.  I mean really, is this a final straw or an honest mistake?  [/quote]

I'm not the PP you are responding to, but I am the OP. Look, if you don't get it, you don't get it. If you don't get that people are staying over in a GUEST ROOM in someone's home, or are in their very own BEDROOM in their own home, with a closed door, then it is incredibly rude to knock and not wait for a response.

Gee, do you think I'm getting dressed after I literally just took a shower? Yes, this happened to me: I passed MIL in the hallway in my robe, with my hair in a towel. Literally three minutes later, she knock-enters the guest room where she knows I'm staying. Oh boy, you caught me undressed, who could have possibly foreseen that?

Yes, this happens. It's clearly a control thing. It's clearly a "I am the master of this domain, even if it is your house" thing, with some people.

Luckily, I'm off the carousel. [/quote]

Thank you, OP.  I had no idea other people were dealing with this exact same thing with their MILs.[/quote]
