Question Posted Wednesday September 5 2012, 4:12 pm
Okay so back in july\june it was really hot so me and my boyfriend (we live with each other) were sending a lot on AC. Too much so I said in august and september we were going to slow down and use some fans.so back in july mom come over and nobody know she had a key i gave her. she always had a key to where i live.no i did not cheek with my boyfriend before giving to her so she walk right in. I told her to call before coming over. she never did anything like this before. so a told not to do it again. she has not. But his mom and dad and dad has come over with out calling five time. They have a key. Two time we were having sex!! I was mad! After the last time I told him to take that key away be the end of the week. But when I was talking to my girlfriend she said i was over doing it. I'm I? And should i take the key from my mom too?
Additional info, added Thursday September 6 2012, 10:30 am: My boy friend does not want to take the key away and hear what they have to say. they can be a pain if they don't get what they want. my friend thinks i have to right to tell him what to do with his mom and dad.And that i should say sorry for giving my mom a key with out asking him first. we were lucky she did not see us making out the one time she came in with out calling.

Even though you two are not married you are living together so they must be aware that you two should be sexually active with each other. Problem is parents forget what it is like to be young, horny and child free.
This does not excuse them from walking in unannounced or without prior notification. The key you two have given your parents is in my mind for emergency use or to be used upon request for things like taking in the mail or packages when you two may be away for a few days.
I have a key to my sons home. Even when I am expected I knock before I enter as I may arrive before he expects me. It is just common courtesy. Yes it is my son's home and I know I am always welcome, still common courtesy should always prevail.
Still, and given that his parents have walked in many times unannounced I do not suggest you take away your parents keys. They Should have them for emergency purposes. Since the word emergency does not seem to have the same definition to them I suggest the following.
Go to one of the warehouse hardware stores and purchase an inside security chain. When you are home and don't want anyone entering without you letting them in secure the door with the chain.
This will not only keep your parents out but anyone else who might have a key to your apartment such as the maintenance people. Maintenance people have wonderful and well as horrible stories of walking into what they thought were empty apartments only to find the residents at home. Some are in the shower and didn't here them knock and announce themselves. Others, well they were caught as his parents caught you two.
So a security chain is a good thing to have as it keeps everyone out when you don't want people with keys entering unannounced. As for emergencies such as needing an ambulance or fire department.
As a firefighter I can tell you that there are proper tools on the ambulance and Fire Truck to cut through the chain if needed and won't delay them more than a couple of seconds.
These door chains are inexpensive and not only should they give you of peace of mind but will not have you insulting your parents by asking for your key back. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
