[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing I say -- as a cautionary note -- is that if you have a no lock rule, please have respectful boundaries.

No one in my house honored the knock rule.  The only way I got privacy was to lock my door.  I remember my mother would open my door and then say "Knock Knock."  She did this because (as a pp so proudly announces) she did not trust me.

If you don't trust your kids, the problem lies deeper than an issue of whether or not to lock a door.  People have a fundamental right to privacy and boundaries, people of all ages.[/quote]

+1. My parents used to knock while in the process of entering. Not even a second for me to say "hold on a second" if I was changing. I developed a deep need for privacy due to this. I was also much more unwilling to share any info with my parents due to the fact that I got no privacy and they didn't respect any boundaries. It really impacted our relationship, even to this day. I wasn't doing anything bad; I just wanted some privacy. [/quote]
