KNOCKING on your DCs bedroom door

[ahundredtimes]

So last night I knocked and went in and ds1(9) said this to me:

You knock to show you respect my privacy but then why do you insist on asserting you authority as my mother by coming in anywaaaay?

DS1 doesn't actually express himself quite like this usually, I think he must have got it from somewhere. He looked extremely pleased with himself when he said it, and I was open mouthed.

BUT does he have a point? Am I supposed to knock and then wait to be summoned in, or just dispense with the knocking thing altogether?

Opinions please.

i knock and wait for a "yeah"

but to be honest i dont think iw as knocking whenthey were 9 years old

(My ds3 has od-parents instead of GodParents as he had a naming ceremony in the garden- just as an offisde LOL)
