Bedroom Doors

[leahgoogle]

Our door and our kids' doors are always open. Our cats would scratch at them otherwise.

During the summer all doors have to be open. 110 year old house, the only AC upstairs is in our bedroom, the kids would be a sweaty mess if we kept the door closed. And the damned dog can never decide if she wants to sleep on the floor in our room, the bed or the living room couch.

When the girls were young we slept with the door closed.

I now have a cat and keep the door open a bit. Otherwise Polly Cat would scratch and claw all night long trying to get in.

This is why sparky cat sleeps in the basement.

I live alone and I don't think I've ever closed any of the doors in my house. No need to do so.

Always open. We have dogs and cats that can't stay in the same place for too long. DD usually leaves her door open just a crack, but if the windows are open, it'll close her door so then she'll put a pillow on the floor rather than open the door all the way.

It varies. Open when hvac is on. Closed if the hvac is off.

 

[indimom]

Closed always. Fire safety that I haven't forgotten.

 

[CynBeth]

Open.

 

[Jennasis]

Closed and locked. Fire safety and home invasion safety.

I leave it open because i think it helps the air circulate better. Our house is old and not easy to heat or cool. Also, one time our fridge motor burned up and I didn’t hear the smoke detector when the door was closed. (It’s right outside the door.). I’m not what I would consider a sound sleeper. That really shook me up. My husband had to shake me awake and keep repeating that we had to get out. He normally leaves for work really early in the morning so I want the door open in case I need to be alerted to something.

Closed. I live in an apartment by myself and if somebody breaks in, I want something between them and me.

 

[Micca]

Always open, due to pets, kids, etc. There are usually no small children here any longer, but I sure don't want to get up in the night to open the door for our cat.

I'm in the I have a cat so it's always open group. You cannot close a door with a cat around!

 

[nene0182]

Always closed

 

[DisneyHardin]

Open. It gets stuffy in there if we close it - also we like to let the cats come and go as they please.

The thing is, my cat sometimes gets bored easily and only stays in my room for a minute or two.

 

[GreatLakes]

Closed for fire safety

Same for us.

 

[MIGrandma]

Closed. I prefer it, and for fire safety too.

Yeah, but if the cat wants in, it's gonna go in, even if it does leave in a minute.

I sleep with it open. Originally to hear our DD if she needed us. Now, I keep it open because if it’s closed my cat wants in. Then he wants out. Then he wants in. Rinse and repeat all night.
