Teenagers are a bundle of emotions and energy, bringing joy, insight, and sometimes, fiery outbursts. During these years, they’re discovering their own voices, often in very loud ways. Mary, a mother who had enough of her teenage daughter’s frequent door-slamming, reached a breaking point.

Mary has three kids, Maggie, the main culprit; Levi, and Charlie. Maggie is 14 and the only girl and eldest of all her kids. Levi and Charlie, the younger brothers, share a bedroom, while Maggie has a room all to herself.

Maggie is just like every other kid her age. She does her homework, helps with the chores with minimal nagging, bugs her brothers just the right amount, and is an overall great kid. The main problem with her is her bedroom door.

Mary tried being more forceful about it, telling Maggie there would be consequences if she didn’t shut the door more appropriately. Still, her words seemed to fall on deaf ears.

Maggie spent the entire weekend upset with both of them. When Mary spoke to Maggie’s grandmother about it, the older woman said Mary had overreacted. Mary doesn’t think so, as they value each other’s privacy.

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.
