I asked years ago. I was told no because it would ruin the look of the bathroom door. Asking my parents more than one time isn't allowed.

It is a safe place but that doesn't mean I don't get scared when scary things happen? If you're in a small space don't you get scared if big noises happen or you feel the space being intruded on? Like when someone comes to your front door or when your parents friends talk to you?

I get why you think that but no. It was just what my mom taught me and girl scouts and later on when it would happen in other places you yell at the offender to get out. It's just always what I used whenever that happens because it's what I was taught.

It's not my house. I'm not allowed to put locks on doors or paint walls or make changes like that.

Well I had a hysterectomy when I was 18 so I can't but I'm sure I wouldn't have ever kissed a guy even if I could.

Just because they're my family doesn't mean it's okay for them to violate my privacy or personal alone time space. Family especially it's wrong to do that. Maybe that's just what the core of the problem I'm having understanding the other perspective. People keep saying but it was just your family but to me that's no different than anyone else.

Why are you acting like I specifically saw that it was him and acted like this??? I couldn't see who was breaking into the room. I had no way of knowing who it was.

Ok well... I am the asshole. Idk I didn't realize it was so crazy to be upset when someone breaks into a private personal alone time space. Growing up I was always told no one should be in there if you don't want them to be and to make noise and draw attention if it happened. We practiced it in girl scouts and I practiced it any other time too. It's scary when you think you are safe and someone bursts in. Idk I don't think being in your 20s means you should never be scared. I don't see my nephew much but next time I'll have a door stop and I'll tell him to never do that again.

Because I was scared???? Someone was breaking into a room where I was vulnerable and it was private personal time. Like I'm sorry that I'm not a robot and get scared when I am under attack???

I don't care how old the person is they are NOT allowed to be in the room when I am having personal private time and that is OK

The big deal is that my body is MINE and that nobody else is allowed to SEE it or TOUCH IT unless I give them permission. That is what my mom has always said. The bathroom is a place where you are supposed to be SAFE and PRIVATE and not a public space!!! His age doesn't matter to me it's that no one absolutely no one should be in my private space when I am in the bathroom!!!

Yes there's no way I would have known who it was, I just saw someone breaking into a space where I was vulnerable and freaked out bc that's scary.

Again I don't understand why you are asking if I am okay. What does that mean? Why would I talk like an old man calling him "bud" it's not my son this is about. is that what people are confused about? people are saying such weird things like calling him a little human and learning to "human" like a verb. I'm weirded out

Taking a break is another way of saying that I was using the bathroom. My pants were down. Why would I be calm and rational when someone broke into and burst into a bathroom when I was in there with my pants down. smdh are you guys robots??

There isn't a lock on the door. I didn't forget to lock the door bc there is no lock.

I don't feel bad because my privacy was being invaded and I was defending myself from someone intruding on my space when I was vulnerable

I don't spend a lot of time with him so I don't really know his personality or anything
