DH has started working nights. So he sleeps until 2 in the afternoon. I wake the SDs up and tell them to take a shower. They are responsible for their own breakfasts. I work from home so I am usually in my office in the mornings. I go in my bedroom and take a shower. I locked the door behind me. A few minutes ago, I come out of my master bathroom and there is SD11 standing in my room. My DH is sound asleep. Luckily, I was wearing a robe. I lost my temper a little. I yelled at her, "What are you doing in here?" She starts crying, of course. And says, I needed to talk to her daddy. I had to roll my eyes. You'd think she was 5.

I told her to get out. Once, I was dressed, I went out into the living room and asked her why she was in my room and how she even got in. Apparently, she wanted to know if she could have some chocolate milk so she popped the lock on our bedroom door to ask her dad. Really???? I don't believe it. I think she thought I was in my office so she went in there to snoop.

I told her that she is not welcome to come in my room unless she is invited by her dad or by me. She, of course, starts crying and runs to her room and slams the door. I am still fuming, but I let her go. DH slept through this exchange. When he gets up, he IS going to handle this. The worst part of it is that her defense is that I come into her room whenever I want (it's true, but I also knock first if the door is closed). And like I told her, this is my house and I am an adult. I will go into any room I want. But until she pays the bills, there are some rooms that are off limits. I am still so annoyed Sad

She can't get her own chocolate milk? My 8-yr-old can get his own chocolate milk!

I have an SD11, too, and they are the WORST! They think they own the world and everyone is just there to do their bidding! And don't even get me started on what Drama Queens they can be!

You need to add a chain lock to that room.

She gets her own chocolate milk all the time. Like I said, I am almost positive that she was trying to snoop in our room.

That is crazy...You should not have to do it, but there is this little flip lock you can put on the inside of the door, way at the top. I had to do it, when my son left my condo once at the age of three.

Her ass would be mine if this was my SK. She needs to be grounded from life for awhile. This is unbelievable.

You should tell her that you and her father love to have lots of passionate, inventive sex. And how would she like to walk in on that? You could probably even make her vomit if you went into enough details. }:) }:) }:)

And that is why we have a keyed lock on our bedroom door and the garage is a locked fortress. Money missing, things broken on purpose, you name it.

If she popped the lock you need a better lock.

And your DH needs to read her the riot act about breaking into people's rooms.

I have a SD12 that thinks what's mine is hers and will help herself to any of my things at any given time if I'm not looking, then lie right to mine or SO's face about it.
We recently switched our whole house around (remodeled to accommodate new baby) and I refused to go even a single day without a lock on my door! So far so good as long as the door is closed, however if it is open, SS13 sees it as an invitation to waltz right in!! Drives me absolutely crazy and I want to literally lunge at him kicking and screaming every time. Luckily for him I am an adult and act appropriately lol.

Why do ALL skids have ZERO boundaries!? My own kids wouldn't dare come in our room and they are 5 and 7!

I reckon she popped that lock on purpose and she did it to snoop. that's probably why she started crying..tears from guilt and being busted.

Please let us know what DH said.. In my situation, skids used to be able to go in and out of his room whenever they wanted and SD (11 at the time) used to sleep in his bed. This baffled & infuriated me 'cos my bedroom is my sanctuary (I raised 3 Sons, who ALWAYS knocked before entering). Once I made SO see that it was our own private space and kids needed to respect that, he backed me up.

Skids learnt to knock and if we weren't in the room (or if I was in the shower & SO sleeping)..they would NEVER enter without permission.

Imagine if you had sex toys out on your bedside table or something.. that'd probably traumatize the li'l darlin' for years to come!!
