[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 210036, member: 2459"] Personally, I would. The only way she's going to know that the door is locked is if she tries to get in. And if she doesn't but still sees the locks, the response is still the same. "Things have been coming up missing.....blah blah blah" Just make sure that you and the ostrich ....erm....sorry....boyfriend are on the same page with keeping the door locked all the time. If you do it even when she's not there you will accomplish two things. First, you will get in the habit and be less likely to forget. Second, you can prevent any other temptations by other people during the rest of the time.....just in case. Something to keep in mind though....if you put a lock on your daughter's room, she's going to have to be responsible enough to keep it locked and not leave the key lying around or else you'll be running to unlock her door for her all the time when she wants something. Another thing....this could cause an issue with "well why doesn't MY door have a lock?" Maybe you could put one on all bedroom doors but keep the extra keys with you or in your room. This way at least there is the appearance of being fair but you still have control by having the extra key. You could do the key lock door knobs on the kid's room (cheaper) and deadbolt your door. Whichever works best for you. You know the situation best though....I was just throwing some ideas out there. [/QUOTE]
