i wanted to know does anyone live with their parentin law in a country like uk
i am living with my motherinlaw and my MIL mom
my son is about to walk in few months as he is 9 months now
My MIL would just walk in my bedroom like 6 am when she would hear my son
noises as the houses here in uk are so weird my MIL room is right next to mines and me and my husband have to talk so softly so tht our noises dont go in the other room so my question is when my son start to walk than me and my husband
wont have any privacy as my son will open and shut the door alots and my MIL
will see our door open and she will interfer in my life alots which will get me so much annoyed
Is there anything i can do about it and yeah there is no lock in our bedroom so wot should i do to have my own privacy
You should get a hook-and-eye type of lock and install it at the top of your bedroom door. NO ONE should walk into your room even if the door is open. And you will likely want to be able to lock it once your little one starts cruising anyway.

its a rented property if we not allowed to make any kinda hole
install a lock in your bedroom. you’ll need to install one anyway once your little one starts walking…if that is not possible then put a child safety gate (not sure about the Uk but this is commonly used here in the states) in the door way. Get the really difficult to open gate…sometimes they end up being adult proof
we are going to get tht ssfety gates i am talking about wot will i do if my son wakes up early and he wants to go out of room like 6 am when he goes outta room i will have to come out with him too and i dont wana do tht as my MIL will intefer in my life alots
^maybe put a lock on your MIL’s door? Ok i am jsut kidding but i think you are being ovely sensitive about this. If your MIL wants to play with the kid at 6 am while you have some snooze time with your husband, whats wrong with that? I say let him go out and ask her to keep an eye on him while you grab some more sleep.
You can put the lock on your door, its just that when you move you will have to fill the little holes with spackle just as you do for holes to hang pictures on the walls. Its easy to do and very inexpensive.

Yes !!!!!! the hardware stores sell pre made putty for that purpose. Since I have move many a times in US I had to do that every time I moved.
Why don't you & your hubby move out? I mean as your son gets older he would need a room of his own right? But if that is not feasible, why don't you just talk to her? Tell her you would appreciate it if she knocks on the door before barging in & you CAN handle your son. If you are unable to speak with her, talk to your hubby and he can have a word with her about privacy.
However I don't see anything wrong with her wanting to play with your son or helping in taking care of him. Maybe there is more to the story.
Ok…I do see something wrong with your MIL walking into your bedroom but I dont see anything wrong with your son walking out of the bedroom and spending the morning(s) with his Daadi. What’s wrong with that? Your MIL wants to spend time with her grandson. I say…take advantage of it!! Take that as an opportunity to spend some alone time with your hubby and/or sleep in.
As far as your MIL interfering …how is she interfering if all she wants is to see her grandson in the morning? Let her have him in the mornings…that doesnt mean she is raising him. Imagine how happy she would be if one morning you walk out of your room and ask her to watch him while you sleep in a little longer. After that..he is all yours.
You know…I bet if it was YOUR mother living with you and doing the same thing…you would not have a problem with it. Be honest with yourself…and think about that.
yea grandchildren are such a funny things. i know it is height of impoliteness to walk in a bedroom without knocking but it does happen when you are sharing the house. give her the benefit of doubt yaar grand parents are so lost in love wid children they do not sometimes concentrate on other things. when i used to visit my mum, if the weather turned bad in night she would always check on my daughter (even though she was sleeping with me!) to see she was all tucked in. also ask your husband to talk with his mum, nicely and cajolingly.
and/or sleep in.
