Is it rude when my mom enters my room without knocking?

some may say that it is her house so she has the right. but i think it is rude. you have a right to your privacy and to not have someone barging in when you could possibly be getting dressed or something

Not rude as it is her house.

There comes a time when you are growing up that you start to resent your parents just wandering into your room without knocking. You have to talk to your Mum and explain that as you are now getting older you'd like a bit more privacy so would like her and your Dad and anyone else in the house to knock before they enter.

They might be a little hurt at first but they will understand, they were young once too.

No I wouldn't say it was rude. Being a mum myself I expect my kids to knock or ask before they come into my room. As mutual respect for there space and privacy I do the same (sometimes I do forget). I have two teenagers and it's been hard to except they're growing up and maturing into adults but they are and I have to respect that they need there privacy just as we do. I didn't realise i was making them feel uncomfortable by walking straight into the room until they spoke to me and explained how they felt.

Yes, she has the right to walk into your room without knocking. It is her house, and she is making the payments on it.

You can talk to her and ask her nicely if she wouldn't mind knocking before she comes in.

She has every right because it is her house and she pays for everything but it would be more polite if she knocked first, that way she is less likely to get any nasty surprises. Everyone needs a bit of privacy.

That depends on how old you are. If you are going through or have gone through puberty, she should knock before entering your room. If you are still essentially a child it matters less. As you are at least 13 (you have to be to be on here) she should knock. Ask her nicely to do so.

i usually don't, not because i am rude but just because i have never thought about it. honestly. and if they re getting dressed - there is nothing i haven't seen during their lives. i was bathing them and changing their diapers, so i have already seen everything anyway. what is it u re doing in that room that u do not want your mother to enter without knocking? jerking off? do it in the toilet or at night-

and your mother have rights to do whatever she wants

There's no law, but it's more polite to knock. You do deserve some modicum of privacy.

You could always just make it a habit to be bucky whenever you're in there, and when she comes in start casually fondling your junk as you talk to her.

Yes it is rude.

Does she have a right? Well, kind of the same right as interrupting people, calling them names, farting in close presence of others, scratching one's butt in front of others, yelling at people, slamming the door in somebody's face, etc., etc.,

Do we have a right to do it? Yes. Is it rude and disrespectful? Yes.

PS. I disagree that respect is age dependent. You want your kids to respect you - you SHOW them what respect is from an early age (that is - always, ever since they are born)

She has the right to take your bed and make you sleep in the hallway.

If it bothers you, ask her to stop. But trust me, the only rights you have are the ones in the constitution.

But be careful. If I was a parent and my kid told me "You don't have the right", I would: 1. Make it clear that everything they own is technically mine. 2. MAKE them appreciative.
