Do you guys have a lock on your bedroom door?

(this is parenting related, I swear)

DH and I are in the process of gutting a co-op and have to pick out everything Chat Icon

ANYway... I went to get door lock things last night and DH was all "we don't need a lock on the bedroom door" (even though the bed/bath door knobs all have locks on them). I was thinking we should... you know, to ward off any 'untimely visitors' Chat Icon when we have kids. He thought I was nuts and that we could NEVER lock the door when we had kids.

So, I am posting it here... do you have a lock on your bedroom door?

TIA Chat Icon

YES. DH installed a new door in our bedroom before we moved in and made sure a lock was on the door. Friends of ours had their "little ones" walk in on them once and told us to make sure there is a lock before the baby comes because once she is here, it will be the last thing on your "to do " list.

WE have a lock on our bedroom door, but we never lock it. Although Andrew is still in his crib at night, when he does start sleeping in his big boy bed, we want him to be able to come in if he needs to.

Yes we have a lock. Right now we never use it, but it's necessary, IMO, if only for the simple fact that when we have house guests I want to be able to lock my bedroom door when I'm getting dressed.

Re: Do you guys have a lock on your bedroom door?

Nope no lock on the doors and I would never get one. My boys get up at night and I want them to be able to walk into our room if they need to or want to. I even leave the door open so they dont have to fiddle with the doorknob when theyre half asleep.

So far we've been pretty good about being careful, preggo with #3 over here Chat Icon Chat Icon

and Im used to the no privacy thing with 2 toddlers Chat Icon even if I locked it, theyd be banging and screaming to come in after me wherever I go. I dont even lock the bathroom anymore Chat Icon and when I shower I leave it slightly open incase my son has to go potty (our other bathroom is still under constructionChat Icon)

did I ramble too much Chat Icon

Our room does. We do not use the lock but as the kids get older I see nothing wrong with locking our door for privacy.

We have one on ours but don't use it cuz Marissa can't open the door yet so if we closeit all the way she wouldn't be able to get in

I do not currently have one, but will be getting one. I will only use it for short periods of time, when necessary. Chat Icon I will never sleep the night with the door locked. I too will probably leave the door open in case my DD needs to come in while half asleep.
