My son is 2 1/2 just moved out of his crib...his grandmother is worried he
will open the deadbolts on the new entry doors and go outside in the winter
while we are sleeping (she heard it happened to someone else on the news)

My husband works from 4 am to 7 am milking his cows so I would like a lock
that will lock behind him and that he could open when he gets home. Any
ideas?

Do they still make those old keyed locks that pull to lock and have a button
you push down to open?

I have taught my son to leave the house when the fire alarm sounds so I
don't really like the idea of locking the doors ... any thoughts?

Well, you could install a door-alarm that goes off whenever
the door is opened, and put a switch to supress it
at the top of the doorframe. That wouldn't keep
the child from going outside, but at least you'd
know about it.

Alternatively, you could kill and eat the grandmother....
