Parents!!!

[clr9823]

My mum never knocks on my bedroom door, and it's starting to piss me off because we all know what teen boys get up to in their bedrooms (well, maybe not my mum). I am seriously thinking about letting her walk in on me "in the act" just so she will get the message. Anyone tried this course of action? Does it work? Any other ideas?

don't go to that extreme .
Just confront her, and be like' since I'm getting older now, I need you to respect my privacy as an individual and I would like it if you knocked on my door before coming into my room ' ..or something along those lines.
Just confirm with her that you need privacy just as much as she does.

Been there, done that.

I mean if you're willing to get the awkwardness of the situation under control that it would be...possible. I would never ever in my wildest dreams do that, but you could try it. Or just jack off in the bathroom. It's your choice whether you want to let her catch you or not though. It's quite drastic.

If my parents walked in non-stop, id do it!

Oh, do not intentionally let your folks walk in on you! All that will do is embarass all of you, and that cannot be a good thing. Shame is a lousy way to achieve behavioral change!

Keep telling yor mom that you want her to knock and wait. Maybe involve dad, ask him to help by talking with her on your behalf. Ask her why she cannot respect that, try to talk in a non accusatory way about it. Be prepared for her to ask you 'why', and have a good answer ready, like "Because I'd like you to respect my privacy".

You want something different from your mom, she's not used to your need for privacy, so it might take her a while to change her behavior. But the light touch here is a better way of going about it, no one likes to listen to someone after they've stuck their proverbial finger in their eye.

why dont you put a lock on youre door?

[aid821]

exactly.. as much as it's annoying you just keep being persistant, she's obviously not realised or failed to realise that things are changing for you now. she might not get it this week or next week but keep at it and eventually she'll get the message

[foreverjd14]

my family does the same thing
i lock my door then they yell at me for locking the door and i give a excuse like i was changing or something
its kinda annoying but i think ill get my dad to talk to me mom or something

yes but what is she gonna say when she sees he put a lock on? they'll be having the same conversation that they would if he didn't get the lock.

I think $5 is worth no embbaressment.

Look this is tricky. If you really have a good relationship with your dad then explain the situation, including the fact that you need to have a wank in private, and let him sort it out with your mum. I've got to admit that this is NOT a conversation I would want to have with my dad. My dad's never said anything about sex or puberty or anything like that to me, maybe if your dad's been more open with you then you can be open with him.

Otherwise like other people have said you may need to get a lock on your door. But I don't think this is something you can just go ahead and do and not expect there to be grief. So in the first instance why not say something like "look you really need to respect my privacy otherwise I'm going to have to get a lock on my door" and see how that goes. Of course if your mum is stupid enough to ask why you need that much privacy you're back in the shit.

Good luck

just lock your door and say you need to knock

[postloveaffliction]

lol, that's why I always lock my door. And as the others have mentioned, you should talk to them about it. Tell them to knock first. or maybe you shud make a big sign in front of your door saying "KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING". So that theyll be aware or somethin.

Please don't post in old threads. Locked.
