I live with my parents while I'm finishing up school and getting employed, which means I live in the den which is just off the kitchen and it has a wood-slat door. It's a miracle I get any privacy at all.

My mother knows I'm "involved" with my boyfriend, but has invited him to spend the Christmas holidays with us (his folks live out of state), which includes spending the night. She has no problem with us doing anything in my room, provided the door is closed. Now, ready for this?

"I'd like some sort of indication that you'd like some Privacy so I don't interrupt anything by being in the kitchen, and could it be subtle enough not to embarrass your father and brother?"



Anywho! I'm guessing she doesn't want me to hang the riding crop up on the door. I'll probably think of something subtle enough, so all I'm asking is did you have to do anything like this and/or what suggestions do you have? They can be serious or funny, I want you guys to have fun with this.

(Apparently, my saying "We very likely will turn the music on." didn't seem to register. And you all wondered how I came about my neuroses. ) less
