Yesterday, Mom decided to pick up extra work and left before 9 PM, taking our youngest with her. When we got home, we discovered our oldest had locked herself in and didn't leave the key. What's more, she didn't answer our calls, knocks on the door, or even the loud intercom. After waiting an hour while I was banging on a deaf door, I called a "locksmith" because dealing with the emergency services would have meant a whole lot of red tape with child protective services, police, etc. The locksmith opened the door, but surprise! The second door was also locked 🤣 – the old one we never lock, and it even had the chain on 😑. Thankfully, the "child" finally decided to wake up to her mother's calls 🤣. That cost me $40 and Mom's gray hairs. The extra work definitely didn't pay off 🤣🤣🤣. I wish I could sleep that soundly!!!

A clear conscience means a good night's sleep 🤣

Imagine, I would have imagined myself into a heart attack there.

My husband was telling me about this one time when their son was supposed to sleep over at a friend's house when he was about 7, and his parents were at their dacha. But at the last minute, they decided to come back home, almost at night.
And they couldn't get in touch with him.
So, they ended up going to sleep at his mother-in-law's place)))) Oh, people are so brave.

My daughter sometimes locks herself in when she's home alone during the day 🤪. We joke that no one will get in. There are two big dogs in the yard, but sometimes fear just takes over, and she'll even lock doors we never use! And she'll be in the house without her phone, so all we can do is try to get her attention somehow!)))

Irina The funniest thing is when they don't need it, they're glued to their phones, but when you do need them, you can't get through. My advice? Cameras with two-way communication. They're lifesavers. I always have mine on in the nursery, pointed at the door. My daughter doesn't mind for now, she even likes it. Later, I'll put it in the hallway and ask her to pose for it.

I have that dream too ))) But once I was locked out like that, and my mom had bolted the door. Neither the phone nor a call woke up two adults (my mom and a relative were sleeping in different rooms and neither heard anything). I ended up having to remove the bolt from the door.

Irina My husband left for work last year (he's always the first one out) and for some reason locked the door with a bolt that can't be opened from the inside. But the kids needed to get to school! 😅 Luckily, we live in a house, so the kids climbed out the window and opened the door for him. 😅 We had a good laugh about it then!)))

I once stayed up for over 24 hours straight, plus I had errands to run. My husband and I shared one set of keys (I honestly don't remember why we didn't get a second one made back then), and I was supposed to let him in that evening. But... I fell asleep, like, super deeply asleep... We lived on the second floor, so my husband climbed up the pipe to the balcony – luckily it was summer and it was open...

The next day, we went and got a second set of keys made, and we never went to sleep with the balcony door open in that apartment again...

One time, I called the emergency services for my mom because she hadn't answered her phone for over 8 hours during the day, which was very unusual for her. I asked my husband to go check on her. He went, and called me back saying the door was locked from the inside, and no one was answering. He banged on the door so hard that the neighbors came running, but still, no one opened it. My mind was racing with the worst possible thoughts. I told him we had to break the door down. We called the emergency services, and my husband called my brother, who was already on his way from Moscow. They eventually broke down the door. According to my husband, mom wasn't in the kitchen, or in one room, or the other. They went to the bedroom, and she was lying on the bed, not moving at all. He thought that was it. But then, a radio next to her bed started playing music, quite loudly. The emergency guys started examining her, and suddenly she jumped up, startled! She said she had fallen asleep so deeply, it was the first time in her life. The radio was also making strange noises. While I was waiting for news at home, I don't even remember how, I fried a whole pot of cutlets 😀 After that incident, we changed her locks so we could always open them with keys.

My son recently crashed so hard that my daughter couldn't get into the house. We were away, and he played computer games all night out of excitement, then got tired in the evening and passed out. My daughter came from her in-laws' and couldn't get in. Of course, she didn't take her keys. Luckily, my friend has a spare set. She feeds our cat when we're away. Otherwise, she would have had to trek back to her grandpa's to wait for us. Yeah, I was worried too. It seemed clear he was just sleeping, but you never know...
