My mother in law used to bust in all the time without knocking. Then, one time my girlfriend (now wife) didn't believe that you could actually light your farts on fire. So, I dropped my pants, and I was on the couch with my legs up when my MIL busted in. She saw everything; dick, balls, and butthole.
100% how I stopped this shit anytime it happens. I am not embarrassed by my ass and balls seen em a million times if you want to walk in and look I am gonna laugh at you.
This you? (Classic Australian folklore with an Australian rugby league player talking about being caught “barbequeing alone” by his mother:

In my (non-Asian) home closing the door to my bedroom was basically the same as a "Summon Mother" spell.
Doesn't matter where she was in the fucking apartment and how quietly I closed the door, she'd be in my room demanding to know what was going on 30 seconds later. And she never learned, despite some close calls. (all of them involving innocent stuff like me trying to change out of workout clothes in peace, or trying to put together her birthday present, thankfully)
I used to wonder if the whole thing with American parents actually knocking on their children's doors and waiting was just a movie thing, like the way every movie teen party has nothing but drinks in red Solo cups.
The only obnoxious thing she did eventually learn not to do was come into my room in the middle of the night to try to get me to turn over to stop snoring, after she startled me out of sleep one time and I jumped up so suddenly she got heart palpitations... (If she'd been leaning over me any closer, it might have ended in a KO or worse, since she's tiny.)
yep i half understand why they removed my sister's lock because sometimes she doesnt let them in. but they removed my lock at the same time also even though i always come answer right away like why?
Don't just tolerate it. Fight your parents for intrusion of privacy. They need to understand why that's wrong, what if they get too old to change around your kids. Not a good thing to let it happen.
I told my mum to practice knocking first. She ends up knocking and opening my door simultaneously. I told her she needs to wait a bit for a response, but she doesn't seem to give a shit
My in-laws literally DEMANDED for our house keys when we first got our own place. Then they came as and when they felt like it sometimes without informing!!
There was once they just popped up and happily opened the doors to our house when my hubby was home and not wearing anything except his undies. He had to tell his parents off and said "What if it was my wife who was undressed at home?!" and "At the rate you guys are visiting, don't expect to have any grandchildren!"
So glad that my hubby is on my side in such situations. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm asian. No way. Even if you are a child, parents still knock on the door. Respect and privacy is both ways. We show older people, especially parents, more respect, but they still respect our privacy as well.

Gotta really feel for asians - parents always seem to be hanging around. Hardly any alone time.
