I visit that planet from time to time. It is a strange place. I cannot stay there because I do not have the require BMW, blonde hair dye, and yellow lab, brand name clothing and ab master. However they do allow me to visit reguarly without too much problem.
Yeah, you'd probably get shot looking like that in my hood. Just saying.
The best time to address anything is when the incident is not happening. If you have a talk at the time you are locked out, it won't register that it's a serious problem for you. But if you sit them down when everything is calm and tell them they need to remove those latches from the doors (not just stop using them, but remove them), they'll take you more seriously. If the husband is overly concerned about the children getting out, recommend their having a locksmith install deadbolt locks that require a key on both the inside and outside. That way he can lock the doors all he wants, but you'll be able to get in when you want.
I mean if the child is smart enough to open the door then chances are he will be smart enough to flip the latch
He can't reach the latch...I mean I even have to reach up for it....
I'm 5'3'' BARELY.. I may be 5' 2'' 3/4
And they said they'll stop using them all together and are going to take them off because not even an hour ago did I come home....yes, I didn't come home last night, and good thing because I would have been locked out. The garage latch was on and I couldn't get in and had to knock.

They couldn't even get the chair to stand on and even if they managed that, they would still be too short.
