‘My husband says I am too cautious after I lock myself in the home’

A British girl has divided opinion on Mumsnet by asking fellow customers whether it is unreasonable to lock your entrance door even once you’re at house. She informed customers of the net discussion board her husband thought she was “overly cautious” to lock herself inside their house, which she mentioned is in a leafy suburb. But one one who responded to the submit mentioned: “You’d have to be a bl**** idiot to not lock your door”.

The girl mentioned her husband made her really feel as if she was being a bit “obsessive”, writing in her submit: “We live in a pleasant suburb in a peaceful neighbourhood where there is a very low crime rate”.

She added: “Occasionally over the years people have had someone walk in through their unlocked front door in broad daylight – even when they were in.”

Some Mumsnet customers sided with the husband with one saying: “I don’t lock ours in the day, unless I’m leaving the (teen) children home alone”.

One individual responded: “People who don’t lock their doors are very foolish”.

The similar consumer claimed the variety of Mumsnet threads on burglaries was a adequate cause to lock your door when indoors.

Another mentioned: “I always lock my doors even if I am in, why take the risk?”

Another Mumsnet consumer mentioned some great benefits of taking just a few seconds to lock your door outweighed the cons.

A fellow consumer agreed, saying: “I think it’s sensible. Someone could take my car keys and it could be hours before I realised the car had gone.”
