[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]about 40% of the time when I check at night, one of the doors is unlocked. I feel really discouraged now as it is an offputting sloppy habit. It is as if he does not care about the safety of his family. 
Kids are getting to the age where I can start showing them how to lock up. I have a plan to upgrade the security system. 
I can't explain it, but this habit really turns me off, like he is saying, "here world, come take my family, attack my kids, it's OK". I don't get a sense of any paternal instinct. [/quote]

Your reaction seems a bit dramatic OP.  [/quote]

The chances of having an actual home invasion/rape/kidnapping are really, really small.

Paranoia and fear-mongering is deeply unattractive. Poor DH.

Reading this thread I am feeling incredibly lucky to have my significant other, who, being an OCDish door locker himself, has been able to make total peace with me not locking doors since we moved in together over a year ago. I am very scatterbrained, and several years ago, after locking myself out more times than I care to admit, I weighed the very high likelihood that I will be unable to enter my own house, and end up wasting a lot of my own and other peoples' time to get in, against the small risk that someone will break in and steal my $100 TV and $300 laptop, and stopped locking doors. I do lock when alone or with just DC in the house at night, or when going on vacation -- when I remember to. [/quote]
