Re: knock at the door and then wait.
but how are people suppose to know?
but i think its always a good idea to knock..baby or no baby
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
dushi r u ok ?? so yeah it's always good to respect everyone's privacy and give a knock before entering someone's room but i feel disgusted when people don't do it and that too if they're elders.
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
Strange topic?

i knw..they shuld....batameezi ki had
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
Feeding or not. Stranger or not. Locked or not. Its always good to knock and ask for permission to enter.
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
It is a basic courtesy to knock before entering no matter WHAT the relations may be. I have learned to lock my doors because I have had acquaintances with people who would just walk in my front door and it drove me mad. The last straw was when my first was about 5 mos old. Not only was I breastfeeding at the time but I was in the shower with the bathroom door open so I could listen for the baby when my husband's brothers friend just sailed in the front door like he owned the place or like he was welcome to do so. (NOT)
GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
I now have locks, deadbolts and chains for my doors, locks for windows and answering machine for inconvenient phone calls. I have to tell you here that the idiot brother's friend was not put off by all this....he actually walked around our house looking in windows, tried both front and back door. Creepy.
I know one couple - newlyweds - who had a similar problem. They decided to get the point across in a rather shocking way. They kept a lookout for the perpetrator/invadors who didnt feel the need to knock. When they saw the people arrive in the parking lot and begin to walk to their apartment, they quickly got almost naked and simulated having wild sex in their living room which is the first thing you see when you walk in the door. A brash way of getting the point across for sure....but it surely worked!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thats not a bad idea. am guna try that, when i get married that is, hehehehe.
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
its soooo funny when people will knock at the door but they never wait for an answer…they just knock and open the door…lol…i mean that doesnt make any difference…
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
If a mother is inside a room with baby, one should always knock.
I dont even enter the room, even if I know that its only my wife, without asking her or knocking
and she does the same
its just basic manners
But when it comes to breastfeeding, ladies should be careful also
I can start another thread on how carelessly I've seen ladies breast feeding infants. Its like. sometimes, they dont care about privacy themselves
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
oh sheesh TLK. It has nothing at all to do with caring about privacy...it has EVERYTHING to do with caring for your precious little baby. When hungry, you feed the little one. This is something that will not be understood by a person who has not yet had a child. Once you DO have a child, you will completely understand, trust me.
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
I do have 2 babies .. but I am a guy, so maybe you are right.
Once, we were in a friends basement, I came up and there was this lady, sitting up in the living room, was feeding her baby, but baby was already left the nipple, and lady was just sitting there with her full breast exposed ..
granted that she was not expecting me .. but that was a living room, with a house that had guests there.
Once in Pakistan, I saw this lady at the airport, who was so busy talking to another person, that she did not realize that baby has gone to sleep and again .. her breast was exposed to the whole world.
Please dont take me wrong, I am not at all trying to mock this beautiful gesture of moms, feeding their kids.
But I guess, privacy is a 2 way street
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
MAMAOF3 but i think they should atlease TRY to cover themselves up…i mean i used to work at GAP…there was this customer sitting at the front of the store breastfeeding…everybody was staring at her cuz she was not even trying to hide it…we suggested her that she can use our office but she was like no thanks…:halo:
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
I once asked someone to take a picture of a woman who was breastfeeding her baby without realizing that she was doing that. I guess I should draw a scene so you guys don't think I am some sick pervert :D
This woman was standing next to me and I was talking to her. I then turned and started talking to other guys present in the room. She sat down to feed her baby and I did not notice that as I was busy talking to friends. This girl kept taking my pictures and I said to her (and turned at the same time) that why don't you take HER pictures? Everyone in the room paused for a few seconds, when I realized what I have unknowingly said, I was so embarrassed that I left the room while their laughs followed me out. I came back after a few minutes and was okay then.
The girl took it lightly and said "Sohail batameez, unhe aisi haalat mein meri tasveer leney ka kah rahey ho" :D
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
^ You mean the girl was a desi girl 
Re: knock at the door and then wait.
In pakistan it was completely ok in our house to lock your room-door.
So no issues there.
Here don't have a family yet, But I will practice same rule. Who ever go to slee/etc lock door of their room.
