No More Slamming: One Mom’s Extreme Solution

Outbursts

Teenagers are a whirlwind of emotions, often leaving a trail of laughter, wisdom, and yes, the occasional stormy outburst. It’s a phase where they’re finding their voice, sometimes quite loudly.

Mary, a mother at her wit’s end, faced a recurring challenge with her teenage daughter’s door-slamming habit. In a bold move, she decided to take action.

What People Think

One person has a simple plan to get Maggie to change and completely supports Mary’s actions. They think she should let Maggie sulk for a week or two, and when Maggie agrees to the rule, she can put the door back in.

If Maggie can’t hold up her end of the bargain, she suggests taking the door out again and for even longer. Rinse and repeat until she’s treating the door like hotel staff.

Another mom, like most in this thread, believes that Mary has superb parenting skills. However, actions have consequences, and while it would be cheaper to install door silencers, they must teach a lesson to ensure that Maggie knows what’s right and does the right thing.

Mary handled this like a pro and ensured her daughter still had her privacy, but she got the point across. She may see this as harsh, but she seems inconsiderate for refusing to listen to her mother when she repeatedly spoke to her about the door slamming.

Do you think she went too far by taking the door out, or do you think Maggie deserved it? What would you have done differently?
