We lock our outer doors and inner house doors (we have enclosed vestibules on both entry doors) - I don't see any reason to lock our bedroom door.

When LO is older and can get out of bed in his own we'll probably lock it when there's stuff he shouldn't see. ;) heffalump on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108261 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:48:28 +0000 heffalump 108261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @missifu: I think you should do whatever you feel comfortable with. If I slept naked (which I pretty much do but will change that when LO starts walking.... time to find some comfy pj's soon!) I would probably want to lock the door. But some families are fine being naked in front of each other. missifu on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108228 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:03:28 +0000 missifu 108228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ here's the wrinkle in our situation. We sleep naked. I never locked the door and probably wouldn't until any future children we have could walk in during "sexy time." Then I would only probably lock it during that time. DH has a six year old daughter who stays with us about twelve days a month. DH locks the door when she is staying over. heffalump on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108220 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:52:59 +0000 heffalump 108220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our plan is to just lock it when we're having sexy time. I'd want it unlocked most of the time in case of emergency or if LO needs us. I sleep in my undies now, but when LO gets older that will change. mediagirl on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108196 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 08:58:28 +0000 mediagirl 108196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We keep our door cracked when the air or heat are on to get circulation. My parents used to leave theirs cracked. I don't remember them ever locking their door.

I'm sure when LO gets mobile, we'll close and lock it when we're having special time, but right now there's no reason to close it. littlebug on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108150 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:26:42 +0000 littlebug 108150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our doors CAN'T lock (they're kind of like French doors that just close by magnet), so the decision is kind of made for us! chopsuey on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108146 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:24:26 +0000 chopsuey 108146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We sleep with our door open. When DH's traveling, I lock myself and LO in her room and I sleep with the shotgun close by. :P I don't think we'll ever lock doors.. even when the kids are older. pastemoo on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108143 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:19:35 +0000 pastemoo 108143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Grace: lol. i have too, i don't think that will change my mind about not locking the door Grace on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108125 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:46:15 +0000 Grace 108125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both my hubby and I have walked in on our parents during "special time", so I think that we will for sure lock the door! cupcakemama on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108115 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:27:30 +0000 cupcakemama 108115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents didn't, we don't. I guess we will start wearing pjs when LO starts walking! looch on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108113 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:13:38 +0000 looch 108113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never lock a bedroom door, what if you have a fire in the house at night and emergency personnel need to get in? Yeah, chances are low, but I'd rather not lose precious minutes or seconds in an emergency. BabyBoecksMom on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108084 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:08:12 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 108084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our bedroom door is open at night. I'm starting to think that might change when LO gets a little older. sulli301 on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108069 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:32:08 +0000 sulli301 108069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do not plan to lock our door because we worry that if LO needed us & we were sound asleep we might not hear her. We will probably lock it during "special time" but unlock it after. HLK208 on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108056 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:12:16 +0000 HLK208 108056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We keep our door open at night even though LO is almost 3. He's never gotten up in the middle of the night but we'll start closing/locking the door just during "special time" like a pp said. Otherwise I like to listen to what goes on in the rest of the house in case someone tries to break in. cyndistar3 on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108034 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:14:17 +0000 cyndistar3 108034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We close our door but never lock it. I sleep naked but lo has never walked into our room at night in the past 2+ years that shes been able to walk and open doors. Andrea on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108027 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:56:42 +0000 Andrea 108027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents never locked theirs. We don't even close our bedroom door anymore since having the LO. Not that she can even climb out of her crib yet (she is in a sleep sack anyway) but we just want to be accessible to her, just in case. pastemoo on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108024 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:53:28 +0000 pastemoo 108024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents slept naked and never locked the door. I sleep naked, and I think it depends on who gets in bed last ... my husband locks the door even without LO here yet. singingbee on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108022 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:46:07 +0000 singingbee 108022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @regberadaisy: Haha!!! I know that my parents would lock their dorrs when we were younger.We would try to bust in and then be like, "Why's the door locked?!?". :) regberadaisy on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108017 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:31:08 +0000 regberadaisy 108017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Jennimac: haha ditto on the "Special time". Regularly I don't think we would in case they have bad dreams etc. singingbee on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108014 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:29:56 +0000 singingbee 108014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I lock my doors at night, but it's because I'm a scaredy cat when I'm home by myself. When Hubby is home, we don't lock the door. I think when we have kids and they are old enough to get up and come in, we will probably lock it when we are having 'special time'. missifu on "Do you lock your bedroom door at night??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-lock-your-bedroom-door-at-night#post-108012 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:26:52 +0000 missifu 108012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was talking to DH and he told me his parents used to lock their bedroom door at night for privacy. My parents did not. For those of you that have kids old enough to open doors and walk right in, do you leave the door open, closed but unlocked, or locked at night? Also, would your answer change if you sleep naked?
