Family boundaries

[kwpnjumper55]

My BIL's were supposed to come over at 9. Its almost 10 and the lazyassBILwhomoochedoffus just got here. I didn't hear him knock, he just walked in. DH is in the shower and I was ( and still am) lying in bed playing with K. Afore mentioned BIL poked his head into the bathroom to say hello to DH and then poked his head into the bedroom. Granted my door wasn't closed but what if I had been naked or Changing? It Irks me to no end that DH's family has no boundaries. My parents who live 5 minutes away and we see almost everyday, STILL knock on the door and wait to be admitted.

Am I wrong by being upset?

That would make me angry, definitely crossing the line but our doors are always locked so someone would need a key.

This. I would have said something.

I should mention that they are locked, but he had kept his key from when he lived with us. I definitely made sure I grabbed that from him today

Dude. I would never walk in anyone's house unannounced...

[larzhope]

if it were me, I'd change the locks... who knows if he made copies. sounds like he has no boundaries from what you've said on here before so I wouldn't put it past him...

I would never do that. He shouldn't be walking into anyone's house unannounced.

That is weird. The only time I would walk in to a house without knocking and being admitted is my parent's house. Their house is a big farmhouse and they are old, so we'd probably be standing there forever. 99% of the time they are expecting us, the other 1%, I would walk in, stand in the kitchen and yell "hello" in the different directions of the house until there was a response. I would never go into their bedroom or the bathroom.
