    NOOOOOO!!! NEVER!!!!!

    I'm a teenage male and I've gotten into a girl's room without her parents never knowing a thing because she locked the door in her room..

    She's only 17.. does she pay bills? Does she help with the bills? Because if she did then yes she'd be entitled to some decisions around the house but if she just sleeps and eats and pays nothing then no, your the king of the house and what you say should be iron.

    Don't get me wrong, she still needs her privacy. Don't go behind her back and start putting secret cameras in her room and stuff. Then you'd be crossing the line. I've come to learn that the more strict parents are on their teenage girls, the more freakish the girls become when they go off to college. So respect your privacy, let her go out and have her boyfriend or whatever... but a lock in the door? No way! And if she's attractive, more problems for you.

    • I agree. I knew a guy that grew pot in his closet. His mom let him put a lock on his door. But she was a crappy mom anyway...

    • Me too, you need to keep track of everything she does. Girls at that age are into everything and good at keeping secrets.

    • That is a total invasion of privacy. If I were a teenager under your control, I'd run away from home.

    • we are on the same page. a locked door/key sounds like a tenant not a minor under the parents supervision
