If you got any advice id appreciate it very much.
Im 19 years old and I’ve lived my whole life having a room with no doors. Just a curtain that separates me from the living room. One day my parents decided to put a door in my room (finally). However, they decided that they wouldn’t put a doorknob. Its been 6 months now that my door remained “knob-less”. All the time I will kick the door for it to hopefully bounce back to open or ill be stuck trying to claw it open.
My main problem here is that I’ve tried asking them to buy me the doorknob but they keep brushing it off. They’ll often come without knocking, and sometimes just storm in. So I’ve decided that enough is enough. I bought a little tech-y doorknob that has passcode and what not. And boy we’re they furious. They keep using a cliché excuse that “we need the door open so that when we need something we can get it in no time”. BRO WHAT DO YOU EVEN NEEED IN MY ROOM?. Sure you might have a few bed sheets, blankets, and a few of your work uniforms stored in my wardrobe, but dude its oddly sus.
They’ve already caught me several times in the middle of changing underpants, stubbed my to as i was about to open my door, got hit on the head as I tried to open it, and probably the worst of all “almost” caught me wanking.
Ive always known that my parents (especially my dad) hates locked doors. Ive also thought about that they might just be concerned or something, but thats not the case. They hate us when we enter the room without knocking and would often give us a mouthful. Bro, we respect their privacy, but they cant do the same for us? Are they some kind of hypocrite?We went on a whole argument of why i should keep the lock and now they’ve threatened that if i don’t take it out they’ll remove it themselves .
