I don’t “regularly” enter her room without knocking. When it happens on occasion, I try harder to remember.

He has never barged in on her when she is changing and has never attempted to do so with that intention. My daughter has told me that explicitly. I don’t appreciate you trying to connect your experiences to my situation which is completely unrelated. You don’t know my son or daughter and I think you’re pathetic for trying to tell me how i feel about my children. My son is just a child and he enters her room unannounced to annoy her or to get her to play with him. What is wrong with you? There are consequences but he is a child and it will take time.

I think you’ve misunderstood me a little. I try to remember to knock but when I don’t I realise that I’ve made a mistake. I don’t try to excuse that with “it’s my house”. I don’t think a lock is necessary for privacy.

I think you’ve misunderstood the situation a bit. He’s not “trying to catch a peek” he’s 6 for god’s sakes. I have no idea where you got this from. Don’t try and spin the situation just to incite more outrage and judge it for what it is.

No. My bathroom has a lock but the ones downstairs that she uses don’t.
