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

Does the bin bag thing work on husbands too?

Glad i'm not too mean! Just fed up with it!
Amazing how much bigger room looks without

We bought it from Poundstretchers, quite recently, incase anyone wants to buy one. I have seen it on a birthday card too!

Apparently my father in law would get home from work and then go and sit on the loo for a good half an hour, rather than get stuck in. My mother in law took the door off the hinges!

Not sure who was punished more in their case.

Oh the moaning! Is removing vocal chords going too far!?

She will hate you forever.

YANBU!! Her door has become a privilege, and one she's guaranteed to want to earn back. She can always change in the bathroom if she needs privacy. Fair play to the balls on you!!

Just spotted this and thought it strange... DS1 9 today asked if he could sell his bedroom door on ebay

Suspect you have another door... I like a good door slam when the mood takes me. Not fussy which one. Your post made me smile, but I suspect she will find another door...

Removing vocal chords is a step too far....

Removing one plug from an electrical item in her bedroom for every subsequent complaint is not. She may be entitled to privacy - but there's nothing that says she is entitled to straighteners, tvs, phone chargers, iPod chargers, laptop cables......

coola i like your style

< looks how much a door could fetch on ebay>

Loving the "floordrobe", my dd has one of them too

If I took the door off my teen's bedroom his floordrobe would take over the house.

You could get a beaded curtain - any attempt to "slam" that will almost certainly result in it getting tangled in her hair... (have a 14yo DSS - I like to think of threats for him).

well since she has no door, she took the bathroom for 1.5 hours this morning to get dressed... it normally takes her 10 minutes, me thinks i am being punished here. oh well good job we have two bathrooms hey....4

curtain and pole purchased so she will have privacy tonight.

We are already at 2 weeks before door returns, but she "doesn't care"

i am ignoring the tantrums, she brought it on herself!

Glad its thier dads wknd though

Nope! I have taken the girls' off too and replaced them with baby gates as at night eldest DD would get up, go to the toilet, slam the door and wake up her sister. Warned. Warned again. Tantrum slamming. Warned. Warned. Gone.

I'd turn the bathroom light off at the fuse box if DS1 had been in there for 1.5 hours. The darkness would probably speed things up (unfortunately wouldn't work in the summer).

hmm fuse out... good idea.
Amazing how many even more evil plans you can find on mumsnet

sad though really i don't want to fall out with her, i just want her to respect others and my house a bit more! Is that too much to ask

Unless she actually breaks the door I think your over reacting - nothing wrong with a good old door slam when you area stroppy teen!

Just gives her more reason to resent you - the less teens have to rebel against the better imo. I read threads like this and wonder if people actually remember how difficult it was being a teen.

One of my parents friends done this to their dd. My parents were equally impressed and gutted they hadn't thought of it before I left home!

Valium she has split the door before and i have replaced once already and everytime she slams it the lights in the kitchen go off for a second, so i do not feel i am over reracting.

I am trying to teach that all actions have a consequence really, and as stated we are moving and she needs to learn that most neighbours will complain at the slamming.
