27 and parents come into my house without knocking

So, what seemed to be a good idea at the time I purchased a house a street over from my parents.

Now I regret. In part they feel entitled to come over unannounced and without knocking. I was showering at 10 at night when I thought somebody was breaking into to my house - nope - it was my father trying to find his tools he left. I flipped, but then he wanted me to remind him who helped painted my house.

And it pisses me off he parks in my driveway so he doesn’t have to park in the street. I wouldn’t mind if he asked since I’m paying for the house, and then he doesn’t park right by my door 😡

Oh and my mom came into my house when I was at work to put up a Christmas tree when I didn’t want to since it was a waste of time and space.

If I say anything that makes me uncomfortable I get told that I’m not thankful for all they do or I’m not being considerate to them since they’re under stress.

Kill me from my misery!

    This is awful. At least now you know never to purchase a house across the street from your parents. Ray Barone taught us this in Everybody Loves Raymond lol.

    I would approach it in this way;

    1. Tell them to stop letting themselves in to your house without calling or at least knocking. It is your house, not theirs. When they protest just stay firm. It doesn't matter what their response is because it is not a request, it is an instruction.

    2. If they continue to let themselves in then change the locks and do not give them a key. If they ask why tell them it's because they continued to let themselves in after you told them to stop.

    3. If they still figure out ways to get in, or they become total nutcases about not being able to get in, then sell your house and move far away.

    I live over 4,000 km away from my mom.
    She called me today to tell me I should dedicate the day to scrubbing the floors of my own house. It’s only 8 AM.
    You can never get far enough away.

    CHANGE YOUR LOCKS, Tell them you lost your house keys (if they ask, which they will want to know why you changed them. If you are in the shower and they walk in your house, then just walk naked out of the bathroom and let them be suprised. Your house you can walk around in a tutu if you want. It sounds like they need a teen equivalent of a scared straight lesson. If all else fails, get a gf there with you, have sex on the couch or living room floor, but somewhere to get the shock to their senses when they walk in again. You could have a buddy there with you, watching porn and jack in when they walk in. Idk, I'm i st throwing out ideas.

    Parents who have no concept of boundaries when it comes to their adult children are awful, and parents who play the guilt card to manipulate their offspring are disgusting.

    Change the locks, and get into the habit of locking the doors whenever you're in the house.

    The latter is a sensible thing to do in most places, and changing locks is always wise when you buy a house since it's impossible to know who might have been given a key by the previous owner.

    Having said all that, I wonder if you still feel you have the right to walk into your parents' home unannounced at any time. If you want them to respect your space, you should behave in a way that shows you respect theirs.

  • Perhaps it was just a vivid dream, but I swore I heard footsteps in my house last night!

      So you think you heardfootsteps, get a motion sensor with a separate alarm /chime. Put the sensor in by the front door out of site. Put the alarm in your room and you can or will know or you get a Wi-Fi security cam then it can alert you when when you not home it can send a message to your phone and you can view it from across the country if you want. Or from another country. Many have infrared for night time. So actually short of having the money for it, there's no reason to not get one.

      Change the locks on all your doors. If it's your house, and you're the one paying the mortgage then you have every right in the world to change all the locks! As Nike says,"just do it"!

      yeah you are probably preoccupied with this, so maybe you dreamed about it.

    Do something they sorely regret seeing out in the open. Like some weird fetish shit or a swingers party or some shit. Make them regret it.

    Oh well, "what seemed to be a good idea" is never an actual good idea.

    This could become a huge problem in the future. One thing I can say is I would not want this happen to me.

    Wall around the house nude. If they say anything just say "my house, my rules!"

    That's just rude. Tell them to ring the doorbell, or even call before coming over. Do they have a key to your house?

    Why dont you just change the locks? OR tell you parents about it, i think is very reasonable to want your privacy and take the keys of YOUR house from them.

    Go naked when you’re home and when they come in, let them “catch” you jerking off! That should have the desired outcome! If they still come in, go ahead and “finish” with a good handful/mouthful of cum! That will definitely get their attention!
