S/O - Do you have a key to your parents house? Edit in blue

[Not_A_Native]

I don't.  My parents are divorced, my mom has lived in the same apartment for 15 years (out of state).  My dad has lived in the same house for 22 years (out of state, a different one).  I didn't grow up in either house.

My husband does not have a key to his fathers house - it's the house he grew up in. Father in law has lived there for 55 years.  Locks have been changed since my husband left almost 30 years ago.

Boundries.  They're good.

 

I can understand those of you who have elderly parents living nearby.  But do you just "walk in?"  I know some of you already answered this.  I would never have dreamed of just "walking in" to my parents house after I moved out, even though I DID have a key (and lived nearby at the time).

And I have NEVER given a key to any place i"ve lived to my parents, my brother, anyone.  It's MY house.  This is my home.  My parents home (while they still had it) was the home I grew up in, not "mine" after I moved out.

Also, I'm now the mother of adult kids.  Two of them are totally on their own, and live in different states.  When they come home, we give them the code to get in.  But we change it from time to time.  Even when my daughter and her boyfriend only lived 15 minutes away, I "invited" them to dinner, and they would come in (after I insisted to her boyfriend it was ok).  But they didn't just "come by" (except when my daughter wrecked her car and didn't want to say anything over the phone).

Yes. My parents have lived in their house since I was 13, and have not changed the locks.

Yes to my moms house. I probably should get a key to my dads house to just in case

I have a key to my mother's house, my IL's house, my BIL's house, and my GMIL's house. We are a very close family. My BIL lives down the street, so I know their codes to get in as well as they know ours. All of the parentals live in FL, but we have access to their home since we go down there so much.

Yes.  All my siblings do. My parents gave them to us, and each time the change the locks we get new keys.

My parnets have been divorced for 14 years. But I do have keys to dad and mom's houses.
