[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 60523, member: 2211"] Marg, how horrific! In my house growing up we were not allowed to lock the bathroom door, ever. And we weren't allowed to close our bedroom doors. At any given moment, my mom would barge in. There was this small drawer that when opened, would block the bathroom door closed. My sisters and I learned early on to do that because then technically we were not locking the door. Mom fumed when she tried to get in and the drawer was opened to block her entry. She'd yell, "Unblock this door! Close that drawer this instant! How DARE you block me out of my own bathroom?!"...even if we were in the middle of doing out business, we'd have to unblock that door ASAP. OMG, we'd hear about it for hours!! I have never fully understood what it was about locks that freaked her out so much. Another time, way back in the mid-70's, she found a spoon in the bathroom and accused us all of free-basing. I remember just wondering what the heck she was talking about?? What is freebasing?? hahaha = I even asked her and she said "YOU know. Don't you think you can lie to me!" and stormed off to accuse my sister. It was insane. I got out of her house as soon as I could support myself, which was at 18. Up until then, my presence was scarce anyways. What a nightmare Marg - I just want to hug your friend. [/QUOTE]
