He just opens my door wide open without knocking. I think its so rude. I was once putting on my clothes when he barged into the room. When i confronted him abt it,he screamed at me. I've told him several times and he goes,"Why cant u just lock the door....must i even knock on ur door before entering...this is my house." Isnt he just unbelievably rude and self-centered?

Poor thing! I grew up like this as well only I wasn't allowed a lock on my door. Even my brother would barge in. I used to get dressed with my closet door open so I could jump in when they opened my door. It's abuse, plain and simple. Start locking your door, Even though it's his house, it's your room. Would he barge in when you are in the bathroom too? I know what you are going through and it stinks.

omg thats crazy.. i didn't have a lock on my door. i wasn't allowed to close my door unless i was getting dressed so sometimes my little sibs would bust the door open and i'd be half dressed or whatever.. i just started changing clothes in front of the door while it was closed. so if someone walked in, the door would bump into me.. lol :P your dad is right it is his house, but i think he should give you your privacy if your door is closed. my dad could be the same way too.. if i confronted him, i'd get yelled at, even if i was right. dads.. lol :P

He is right that you must lock your door, its you who wants privacy not him, yes its his house so he dont need to knock it anyways, so dear close the door and lock it first b4 doing any thing like changing clothes or what ever

Unfortunately for you, I must agree with your dad. Privacy in a home that you neither own, nor are renting means you are able to close the door when you are indisposed, but you need to move quickly as an unexpected OWNER may walk in.
One of the greater problems in our society is that our children have a feeling of ownership that sets them up because they can't survive the real world. There is no entitlement here! It is designed for you to never and I do mean never have anything in the ROOM; your parents are allowing you to temporarily reside in, that is objectionable. When you get sick of it enough, you will get a job, pay for your own, and can close and lock as many doors as you desire. Then you may have a daughter or son, who have friends and because of your privacy clause, and your respect for their rights to it, will bring their weed and other illegal items to hide in your house.
Most decent adults lived under the same law. None of us liked it, however it kept us honest and reduced temptation. (Which was there for us all.)
I wish you well.

maybe you should talk to your father when you are both calm, that way you can both have a decent conversation about whats bothering you. Just tell him that you are no longer a lil girl and you need your privacy. If he still doesnt understand your problem then maybe you should consider gettin a lock for your door.

My dad used to do the same thing to me all the time. Eventually I got so mad and so used to it that I can now here it before he gets to my room so I stand behind my door and block it. When he tries to enter I ask him what he needs and then if I'm getting changed I tell him "hold on I'm getting changed dad". I actaully had to talk to my mom about it because it got creepy for me. She yelled at him to stop because it was creepy and he needed to respect my privacy. Although it is your dad's house, it is your right to have privacy, especailly while changing.

Yes lock your door.It may be his house as he puts it,and you his daughter-but you have rights too. If he does it again and you have the door locked and then he gets annoyed-remind him that he said to lock it.And also let him know you don't like people walking in unannounced when you are changing. You are intitled to privacy.

Yeah it kinda is ...
talk to him about it again and tell him that u might be doing something u dont want him to see (changing clothes for example)
if he doesnt listen then (and i used to do that) whenever u dont want someone to enter ur room put something heavy behind ur door (i used to push my bed behind me door until i got older and they trusted me enough to give me a key to lock my door)

If he can't knock, then lock it. I think that it shows a complete lack of respect for your request for a little privacy. Even if it is "his" house, he should have enough sense to give his daughter a little dignity.

that truly sucks! My father and mom in lots of situations knock yet then come perfect in, so its no longer like it concerns. If i do no longer choose people in my room I in lots of situations finally end up baracading the door reason its the only ingredient that works.
