I told my daughter she's not allowed to have boys over to visit her in her room she's 14. She has girl friends come over and occasionally there's boys with them, boys are not allowed to go into her room, plain and simple. I warned her, If they do, the door would be taken off this is about setting boundaries and enforcing them. It's also about teens who don't make the wisest decisions. Appropriate privacy (modesty and changing clothes) is a right all other privacy is a privilege.

I took my daughters door off once for about 3 days because she was told multiple times to stop slamming her door. She was warned if she slammed it again, she’ll have no door. Once the door was back on, she’s never slammed it again. I still respected her space/privacy when the door was off. But she learned to figure out a better way to communicate when upset. Which lead to being more respectful than disrupting everyone in the home because she’s having a moment.

Ive never had this happen to me before ngl. It sounds insane. Thats a massive invasion of privacy and just flat out wrong how do you even justify this? You should be trying to fix whatever issue happened not removing their only bit of privacy they have

My parents only did it because we had old doors and my older brother nearly broke his by slamming it so much.

Kid Slammed the door in anger: you disrespected it, therefore I’m going to remove it for a period of time since you don’t know how to treat it properly. This equals in no privacy etc. for awhile but and definitely means nobody is going to slam that door again.

My sister got hers removed for talking to men that were older than 18 while she was a minor I believe? I’m not too sure.

My parent didn’t remove my door but bedroom doors were always suppose to be open. They’d come by and just open it. They walked in on me doing self pleasing. I have a lot of shame around that. They also destroyed my room when they found out I was dirty texting my bf & complaining about them to him. I moved out a month later. We had a rocky relationship for a while. I went no contact in 2023. They have a granddaughter they’ve never met nor will ever meet. I’m slowly undoing my adoption.

Completely destroyed my relationship with my daughter for all eternity. It was a huge mistake. She’s 29 now and still really will not speak to me except at gatherings when her mom is present. It was a horrific error in judgment on my part.

Note to self: taking your child’s door away and restricting their privacy makes them eventually go No Contact, got it🙂‍↕️

I had AWFUL awful insomnia as a kid and teenager. My mom took my door and lightbulbs to “make” me sleep? I don’t even know. I wasn’t an asshole kid and got ok grades. I talk to her like twice a year now because of that and the many other insane things she did. Psychological torture from age 8 until I was 16 and moved out.
