How privet do you keep your bedroom?

G'day freedom, how are ya? When you say people I take it you mean visitors? I guess someone might have to use the bathroom to go to the toilet but they should leave your stuff alone...do what they need to do, wash their hands and leave. AND they should not go in your bedroom for any reason unless you take them in to show them something. Yes, this is an invasion of your privacy. Is nothing sacred to some people??

I feel exactly the same way as you do, freedom. We have a bathroom off the master bedroom, too, and occasionally it has been used when the "communal" bathroom is occupied. The bedroom should be your own private domain, in my opinion. I keep all of my medications in the bedroom and out of reach to anyone who may want to snoop. I suppose sometimes it can't be helped but can't for the life of me understand how people managed back in the days when most houses had only one bathroom. I came from a family of four and we always seemed to be able to handle just one bathroom. There were times when "holding it" was the ONLY option, but it was do-able. I let people use that bathroom only as a last resort. Luckily, we have a powder room in the basement and I usually aim people in that direction before I tell them about the bathroom off of the bedroom. My kids know to use the one in the basement before using the one off of our bedroom and I would appreciate it if everyone knew this, too. I would never ask to use the master bathroom in someone else's house, if it meant going through their bedroom, unless they said it was okay. I feel that the bedroom is a very personal and private place. So, tell whomever told you that it is not normal that you don't like people going through your bedroom to the bathroom that it is very normal to feel that way.

I feel the same way, though I've gotten more lenient these days. My aunts and uncles don't mind when it's family, but when it's strangers, it just gets iffy. I've never had this problem before though. But that's just because I've never had too many people in my house. I don't do "big parties" in here - it's not enough space. Which is fine by me.
