Our kids think that we are wrong?

You absolutely have a right to your privacy and your family should respect that. I insist that my family call before they come over and still have to stand up for that sometimes when they drop by. I bring it up every single time they don't call first, and it's taken 30 years, but they usually call now.

If they absolutely refuse to comply with your wish for privacy, try to keep an ear out for when they are coming and stage getting 'caught' doing something 'very naughty' when they walk in. That just might cure them.

No you are not wrong. It is your home and yes you have the right to have privacy and others to respect that privacy.

Keep locking the door until everyone gets use to the idea, accepts it and honors it.

Give it time...you are on the right track. You might be surprised what you find out looking back at everyone coming and going as they please.

Best wishes to your new found freedom. :-)

I think that in no way you are in the wrong here. They need to understand your need of Privacy and respect. Put the shoe on the other foot and ask them how they would like it if you just " waled in " on them unannounced while they were in their Jammie's or " all- together". I bet they wouldn't like it either.

Keep the door locked!

If they want to walk in with thier friends without having to knock, (lord please forgive me) give them something to see. In other words show them why your privacy is just that important.

Set the stage, leave some exotic items laying around the house, let "Poppa" handle the smooch'n and ......................... well I guess you see where I'm going with this.

p.s. The last thing kids want to see is mom and dad acting like they are married. (lol)

It is perfectly OK for you to want privacy and for your children to repect that. Explain to them that they are still welcome to come over, but knocking on the door shows that they respect your home. Another way to solve the problem is to always have the door locked, that way they will be forced to knock.

Well there are two ways to handle this,

1. try and reiterate your point to them nicely explaining your view of the situation.

or

2. Prove your point. Start walking into their places unannounced.

You are absolutely entitled to privacy and respect. It would be interesting to see your (problem) children's response to the two of you barging into their houses.

Tell them that you and your spouse are experimenting with a nudist lifestyle around the house, this should prompt a phone call before house calls.

Have a meeting with your kids and explain you're not happy and that if you don't knock on the door then the next time I(you) won't knock on your door when I come

there's a great style of reasons, yet my peeve is how the colleges in u . s . a . of america have dumbed down the curriculum to make the lesser pupils no longer sense skipped over as they have been while i grow to be getting A's and B's. The worst element is that our society has grow to be so pushed via protecting up with the Jonses' that oldsters (in the event that they're nevertheless mutually) ought to spend plenty time far flung from their young ones that they have no discipline. no longer all young ones are that way strategies you, yet I many times ask your self on the subject of the futures of lots of them while i choose a international translator to decipher their misspellings. Codes are one element, and English being a 2d language even though, it relatively is deplorable while in comparison with how i grow to be schooled.

It was hard for my brother and I to understand at first when our parents said that to us our feelings were hurt at first. Our Dad finally made us realize that we might see something we didn't want to see by telling us that he liked to walk around naked now that we weren't there and that if we came we might get an eyeful if we didn't knock. Now that I am a parent I totally understand why they wanted their privacy.
