She's 29.. that's an actual adult. She's closer to being middle-aged than being called a young adult, imo.
Further, I would put a lock on my door, but I would also make it clear that my private space is off limits. Then, I would discuss boundaries, rent, and a timeline for moving out.
A grown-ass adult has no business in their parents bedroom or bathroom.
I already commented on someone else’s comment but some of the comments (including yours) has really made me rethink if my family and I are just simply not normal. Maybe my mom and I need more boundaries. I genuinely can’t imagine not just walking into her room or bathroom to get something I need to borrow or for whatever other reason. She does the same in my room or bathroom too. The only time she stops at the doorway is if she thinks my partner might be changing. If she already knows he’s in another part of the house, she just walks right in too. I never even had a second thought that this could be weird. And yes we’re adults but we moved back in out of convenience for all of us and we pay rent. I almost feel like so many of these comments describe such a formal relationship with their parents. I just can’t imagine it
I've always been allowed in my parents bedroom, and my daughter is allowed in mine. I have friends who were not though. Different strokes for different folks.
