Dad walking into my home after knocking and no answer, would you be ok with that?

I meant to pick yes as in yes it would bother me. I have an open door policy with my family but we always give each other a heads up. You being in the bath is a great example of why!

I guess my parents and I have always had an open door policy. It didn’t end or stop applying just because I was married with children. If they don’t answer the door, but know we’re coming, they don’t mind. Even if they didn’t know we were coming, it’s “open door”.

My house has been tbe same. You’re in the area and want to drop by and see the kids? Door’s open.

We had what the Tanner’s had on Full & Fuller House, basically.

My MIL has started doing this and I really don’t like it 🤣

If I knew someone was coming over fine by me but if it was completely out the blue no, knock and wait ☺️

If I wasn’t made aware you, whoever you are, were coming over, nope, not cool. I like to not wear bras at home or would like to clean up his toys make sure we’re presentable.

We have a code door, and I can hard lock the codes out too. Woo. 😂 never needed to but, I could.

If you show up unannounced, knock and wait, and text/call me or my husband if I don’t answer the door.

The amount of times I’ve walked in and out of my dads house without knocking 😂 That’s what my family have always been like though, so it doesn’t bother me if he were to do the same, or my brothers for example. I think as long as you knock once or twice, wait for a reply, then go in but make it known you’re there (ie, ‘hello! Only me’ sort of thing) it’s okay.

That being said, if you don’t like it, that’s perfectly reasonable and it’s your home. If you’re forgetful locking the door, then I’d just have a conversation and explain you don’t like it and could he give you a heads up or wait for you to answer 🙂 I’m sure he’d understand!

Yep, that’d annoy me. I don’t want people coming into my home if I haven’t invited them, or at the very least, let them in myself.
Who knows what I could be up to?! 👀
No but seriously, my home is my sanctuary. Don’t upset my peace by just assuming you’re welcome to let yourself in 24/7, no matter how close we are.

i would give anything to have my dad alive still and knocking at my door

My parents own my house so by all means! At least I don’t have to get up and let them in lol if they didn’t own my house I probably still wouldn’t care because I don’t even knock going to theirs I just release the children as a warning

I wouldn't be bothered at all but that's because we're very close. My mom would also never show up unannounced so if she's coming inside, I'm usually expecting her.

You should really start remembering to lock your doors though. Not sure what your neighborhood is like, but one day it could be a stranger and not your dad.

It depends on the person honestly. I am unbothered that my MIL or my bestie just walk in. If anyone else tried I would flip out.

This wouldn't bother me, its always been a thing in my family. Unless the door is locked we just walk in, and this is the entire close family too.

Oh no I want this. I moved closer to family so they can stop by whenever they want.
My dad does do this and he used to just enter my brother house. My reply was "well why don't you lock your door then?". That's one way to keep out people who turn up uninvited 🤣🙏🏻

If my dad knocked I’d ask him why he did
