Do you close your bedroom door at night?

Do you close your bathroom door when you are using it (or not using it)?

Do you pull all of your shades down or close your drapes at night?

My answers are yes, yes, and yes.

Yes, Yes, Yes

Even do it when I am not alone.

No to all 3 questions. I live on the third floor which is why I leave the blinds open. O f course, I use discretion about my state of dress at night when the lighting makes me easy to see from outside. I don't want to give the neighbors that much to laugh at.

Strange questions, but no, no, and no. I sleep with four dogs. If there's something going on in my house or outside, I want them or me to hear it. My house has a 7 ft cement block wall across the backyard. My bedroom's on the back. I don't worry about peeking toms.

No, no, in the bedroom yes

Did your daughter move away?

No, no and some of them.

I lived alone, off and on, for about 35 years. I always lived upstairs, so less easy for people to see me moving around in my apt, or see me, period.

I also drank milk and ate ice cream out of the carton.

Although I don't live alone, there are times when I might be alone for a week or longer when my husband is away on union business.

No, no, and no.

The cats do not allow closed doors (other than closet doors). I would never shut the bedroom door; that gives me the creeps just thinking about it. Why would I shut the bathroom door if I'm not in the bathroom? Seriously, I don't see the need. I don't even shut the bathroom door when I'm in the bathroom; the cats would have a fit. I can't remember the last time I was in the bathroom without at least three cats in there with me. When I take my shower, there's usually a cat sitting on the edge of the bathtub watching. It's what they do. Nor do I shut the drapes. (We are in the midst of remodeling our bedroom; we don't even have drapes in the bedroom windows yet!)

The last time DH was away, one morning I looked all over the house for my car keys to go to work. I finally found them....in the front door where they were all night long. I came home from work the night before, unlocked the door, and never removed my house keys. Oops. I also had the French door in the dining room opened the night before. I closed it. But never locked it. Oops again.

I never closed my bedroom door (even as kid)...only time is if guest(s) are staying over.

Never close bathroom door unless someone's over.

I do close blinds at night always...we also have 20+ hrs of daylight now, so imperative.

May I ask why you close your bedroom door at night, or your bathroom door when not in use? Seems like it would be the reverse for bthrm door. I know a lot of it determines how things were done at home while growing up.
