Should parents' bedrooms be off-limits on playdates?
Briefly

Eliana Jalali argues that kids should not enter adults' bedrooms during playdates as it teaches them respect for privacy. In her TikTok video, she shares her experience of growing up with the strong norm of not entering adult spaces uninvited. Jalali emphasizes that bedrooms are private areas, better suited for communal activities in more shared spaces. She notes a discrepancy in upbringing, as some peers seem oblivious to this boundary, prompting a discussion among viewers about differing childhood experiences regarding respect and boundaries.
When I used to go to my friends' houses, and they would go to their parents' room for any reason... that s--- would stress me out so much.
I also realized that not everyone was brought up with that rule, and I still abide by that.
You should not be going into that room for any reason. That's why there are dens and living rooms... you go hang out in communal areas.
It really weirds me out when people just walk into other people's bedrooms.
