Do you lock your door to ease your nerves of little ones walking in? Our door doesn’t have a lock. Considering getting one!
-
No cause when we do BD its even the kiddos are in bed. We shut their door so they don't walk out.
-
We don't lock bc DS is still in a crib and can't get out and DD (even though she is 5) does not get out of her bed UNLESS she calls and calls and we don't respond.. sooo we just have to be cognizant of her.
-
We don't lock the door as we only BD when the littles are sleeping. Baby is in a crib and DS pretty much never gets out of bed once he's asleep.
-
I got DH a lock for Christmas one year. I think it was his favorite present ever.
-
I refuse to BD unless our door is locked. I walked in on my parents once (probably at 6 or 7?) and will never forget it, so I'm making damn sure my kids don't do it.
Our LO's do come to our room every night though, DS around midnight and DD later. So we lock the door, DTD, and unlock it. -
We lock the door if it's during awake hours, we don't if it's at night after bedtime.
After baby #2 I got several of those door cushions that you put over the door handles across the latch so that DD1 couldn't accidentally slam doors and wake the baby. I purposefully did NOT get one for our bedroom so that we didn't have to fumble with it to take it off if we wanted to fully shut and lock the door.

We usually won’t in the evening because they rarely get up at that time - wakeups are more likely after midnight when we are sleeping (and thankfully not that frequent these days). And we don’t want to forget and have it locked all night. We have locked it when we needed to do daytime for scheduling reasons - park them with Netflix and make it quick!
-
We don't have locks either, we usually just get to it right after they go to sleep b/c it's pretty safe to say that they are definitely asleep between like 8:30/9-11. So for now we have a safe window so to speak...
-
we don't have a lock. But our kids our sound sleepers (7, 5, 3) and have NEVER woken up.
-
I actually put the door monkey on my kid’s door for this because we’re in a temporary living space for the next few months and I don’t want to make major changes (though a locking door is hardly major). We use it on their door fairly frequently so it’s not unusual for them to see it on their door.
My four year old is always sneaking up to our door at night so I know there’s going to be one night we forget to lock the door and she busts in.
-
My kids have loud as crap footsteps so no, not usually! Though I've been known to hear "phantom noises" and DTD looking over my shoulder the entire time
maybe we should get a lock
-
@Corduroy: This made me laugh!
@Mrs. Sunshine: Do the "phantom noises" ever go away???
-
No we don’t, my kids almost never wake up and definitely not that early at night.
-
We don’t have a lock on our door. Our kids don’t wake up at night but usually we DTD during the day and just turn the tv on for them downstairs. Then we just say we are “making the bed” and make it a quickie. Our kids are pretty tv obsessed and we can count on them staying put on the couch til we come back down. Our DD walked in on us in the bathroom at our last hotel. That was super awkward but she was half asleep so I don’t think she realized what she was was seeing.

@Mrs. Sunshine: Yess to the phantom noise. We have the monitor on and it's kinda sad b/c some of my mind/attention is always going there to make sure nothing is happening!
