I've recently found that when I'm home alone that I often don't close the bathroom door behind me. I'm just wondering if others do that, or if it's weird. I know for sure that nobody will walk in, so I'm completely private, but it still sometimes feels strange. I wasn't sure if to post in manners, or in halacha, as I also wonder if there is a halacha that one must do so because of tznius?

It's hard to latch so I just push it mostly closed. I don't bother with the last 3-4 inches.

Unless you have motion sensor alarms on your house I'd suggest do lock the door

A woman after my own heart.
And if no one is home I sometimes double lock the door and close the trissim and clean naked!
Don't knock it till you've tried it!

I always used to close the door out of habit. But after I had a baby I keep it partially open. Is that a mommy thing?

I leave the door open when I'm alone and take a shower because there is no ventilation in the bathroom and it gets too steamy.

Once I had a baby it became a treat to use the bathroom myself with a closed door Smile

You're the best, Sequoia! Same answer here. I actually intentionally get mostly undressed as soon as I get home unless I know I'm going out immediately! It's the best way to be! Tongue Out

I was taught that if you don't close the door, it's considered to be in the same room as the hall or room right next to it and there's an issue with the mezuzahs.

That, or taking the baby into the bathroom with you. How else are you going to keep an eye on him/her?
