Question scenario.
« on: February 23, 2018, 02:14:43 PM »
You and all your adult siblings have keys to your parents house. You guys all used to live there and came and went as you pleased. All but one has moved out now, but all still hold a key to the parent's house. Only one brother remains living with the parents. He marries and now there is a sister in law and kids in the home. Should you still let yourself in whenever you go over? Should you knock? Does it change anything now that a sister in law lives in the home? Or does it not because it's the parent's home?

They need to knock or call ahead of time that they're coming around.  How hard is it for the brother to change the lock? 

My sister has a key to my house.  She live the closest to me. She always let the kids or I know when she's coming and to expect her.  If very late she can just open the door and let herself in.

If the sister-in-law doesn't mind its okay. I think you should at least call first before you go over though , or knock. I guess it depends what kind of family you are.

I went through all 15k posts and those 2 quotes I found were the only ones so I guess that would make it "everytime".  Feel free to go through all 15k posts and verify by quoting them all.  You need to quote them all to verifying prove "everytime".   Please verify that Im wrong.

Only people who live there should have the key. Yes, change the lock.

If it's not my home anymore, I'd knock first.

But if no one is home and I need something inside, I'll just use my key to get in and tell them about it later.

You and all your adult siblings have keys to your parents house. You guys all used to live there and came and went as you pleased. All but one has moved out now, but all still hold a key to the parent's house. Only one brother remains living with the parents. He marries and now there is a sister in law and kids in the home. Should you still let yourself in whenever you go over? Should you knock? Does it change anything now that a sister in law lives in the home? Or does it not because it's the parent's home?

No need to knock with the Viets.  In Vietnam, our neighbors all our doors are left opened through out the day.  It is like a store business where you would be excited just to see a customer.



 With kids all grown up, I wouldn't be surprised if these kids only visit their parents like 1x a year.  Open door policy for family n those have keys. Relatives still have to knock or call for an appointment.

So, you charge your neighbors for entering your house, eh?
