NP. This is how I feel. Not so worried about sneaking out (yet) but safety. Tired kids in new places open the wrong doors all the time— happens in hotels and on cruise ships that they wind up
locked out in the hallway. I wouldn’t take the chance of my kid winding up outdoors.[/quote]

Just put a chain lock on it. [/quote]

It wouldn’t be worth it for me. I would revisit when she was 13 or so, but for a nine year old safety would be my first concern.[/quote]

I’m the poster above and I should add that my kids are sharing a room until they’re old enough to ask to split up but no younger than 11 for this exact reason— the second reasonably-sized bedroom is close to a door to the outside. The door doesn’t open straight into the bedroom but a wrong turn to the bathroom could get you to an outside door. I’d rather my kids felt I was unfair to them than risk one of them winding up outside. When they’re 35 they can post on DCUM about their lifelong scars :)[/quote]
