"  The masses have spoken! And it&amp;#039;s safe to say that most moms would rather lock their bedroom doors than have to explain to their kids what mom was doing on top of dad the other night. 54 percent of readers said they lock their doors once in awhile, and that their kids hardly even notice the change. Reader Kerrie emphatically agrees with protecting private moments from your children, saying, &amp;quot;Yes, after that one &amp;#039;oops,&amp;#039; we always lock it now!&amp;quot; And Blogger Alice Bradley puts it plainly, &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s worse [for kids]: encountering a doorknob that won&amp;#039;t budge, or encountering an &amp;#039;encounter;&amp;quot;? 19 percent of moms would only lock doors if their children were asleep\u2014which is a great compromise for parents who don&amp;#039;t feel comfortable locking out their little ones during daytime hours. On the opposing end are 15 percent of moms who employ an open-door policy in their homes, reporting that no one is allowed to lock their doors.  So, the general tone seems to be that a locked door in moderation can&amp;#039;t hurt. Reader Karina even suggests, &amp;quot;Private time just makes better moms!&amp;quot; Thanks to all who voted!
