Bedroom door

[dietstartsmonday]

My 12 yo DD slams her bedroom door when in a mood all the time
So i have just taken it off

Aibu? She was warned

Oooft you big meany ;)

I used to love a good door slam as a nipper, and a good foot stomp up the stairs. I'd have been gutted if my parents had taken my one sure fire way of letting the WHOLE FUCKING HOUSE KNOW HOW ANGRY I WAS.

YANBU.

She was warned. That's it.

Brilliant, by the way. Hope I have your balls when my dc's are older.

Hmmm. I might consider getting some sort of screen so she has a bit of privacy, but YANBU

We did the same thing, she had to earn it back, took her 6 months,

yanbu.

Haa haa your nails!

A SW I worked with Once told someone who did this to put it back as children have a right to privacy particularly once at secondary school. The child was 14.

Personally I wouldn't do it, but I might be tempted to put a soft closer on it, or put one of those foam finger savers right at the top.

Another option is to put a curtain up - that way they have privacy but can't slam anything.

YANBU.

Great punishment, you told, she didn't listen, she will now have to deal with the consequences.

I would do exactly the same.

That happened to me too OP. I learnt from it

There is hope yet. They kept it off long enough so that when it went back on I never slammed it again.

I don't intend to keep it off for long. Just want her to learn a lesson. Atm we have a neighbour who is never home, next year planning to move so wanna get rid of this habbit

binky six months! How did she earn it back

gold how long?

She had to stop slamming the other doors in the house, I didn't have enough room to take all the doors off and store them.

You are mean!! But if she was warned then you had to follow through. Definitely put a curtain up at the doorway or something like someone suggested for privacy.

Well done! Also a black bag to out any clothes you on the floor into it and hide.. Garage will do.. This will eventually lead to clothes being out in washing basket or hung up..

Hey ho xx

About ten weeks.

Think every time I was a little shit they'd say "right, thats another week"

I am imagining a teenager trying to "slam" a curtain now!

She's ok with her clothes so far but will stockpile that idea!

My teenagers get this tapped to their doors at eye hight, it does reduce slamming behaviour a fridge magnet version reduces the complaints, about lack of supposedly snack foods.

Give her a curtain and let her earn the door back, hanging doors is a pain.

Ten weeks! Oh will prepare for battle then

You are NAILS! Kudos, OP.

I confiscated DD(11)'s blackberry for 2 hours earlier for putting the 'phone down on me when I told her she couldn't fanny around with her mates after school until it was dark so that I had to go and get her instead of her walking home as normal.

Love it quote

Will get her a curtain tomorrow

Thanks for that quote, I'm printing it out, laminating it and then nailing it to the new teens door. Thankfully he can't slam his, it's a TARDIS door so can't be slammed.

Door slamming doesn't seem to have occurred to dd1 yet but will definitely use the binbag for her floordrobe!

We've got that poster in the kitchen. DH was very pleased with himself when he bought it, the teens, however, were not!
