would you take off your childs door if there were younger siblings in the house who wouldnt knock on the frame before entering?
And the older child used their room to change clothes and went after their shower to put clothes on.
Would you risk the younger child walking in on the older child?
Im only asking because this happened to me when I was younger. Im a girl and I have a younger brother who still doesnt like to knock.

4xTheFun: First off Im not in trouble now. That was like 5 years ago Im 18 now.
Also your punishment is weird and quite horrible.
Throwing away all your childs things. You probaly emotional damaged that child. Im sorry you did that. Gah.

This is a terrible punishment, especially for an adolescent. Taking away privacy in my opinion is much worse than grounding or spanking.

I also had this happen to me and I had brothers and a new step-dad (I don't remember what I did do get the door taken off, thus the punishment was the only thing I got out of that lesson).
This is absolutely horrible to do to a child (of any age) and borders child abuse in my oppinion, especially for a 11-17 years old girl (or boy but there is more for a girl to keep private). All we can do is look back and say we won't do that to our own children.

My fiance's daughter got into the habit of closing her door a lot while playing. We found out later that she was counting and hiding the money she'd stolen.
So we made a rule that she is no longer allowed to play with the door closed. Of course she can close it while getting dressed and sleeping, just not while playing. We did it because we no longer trusted her and it was important for her to realise the consequences of losing our trust. She's learned the lesson now and will soon be allowed to close the door whenever she likes.
To take away a child's door, to not allow them privacy during changing cloths etc - that is cruel. It is very unfair and unpleasant if there are males in the house. I don't agree with that at all...

Depends on the offense. If the child was doing something like drugs or something serious in their room than ya I'd take the door off until I could trust them again. If it's just something like not wanting to do homework then that's going too far. I never had my door taken off but my sister did many times

No, I wouldn't do that to my child. However, you might have gotten into some trouble the way you responded to him walking in your room - yelling or pushing on him. Sit down with your mom and dad and let them know in a mature way that you would like him to knock before entering your room because you don't want him to see you changing. Good luck!

i think of it is a extraordinary punishment to be honest. there is different issues mom and dad can take besides element of the abode.... additionally I even have this ingredient the place at night i won't be able to have my mattress room or closet door open because of the fact it freaks me out, so if I had infants and that they inherited that from me then I surprisingly does no longer do this. in case you wanna save an eye fixed on them purely lead them to save their door open for the period of the day time lol.

My aunt did this to my cousin (13). But then my cousin got the door taken off because she had started drinking and cutting herself. So it wasn't really a punishment as much as it was a saftey precaution that the therapist recommended.
My cousin just changes her clothes in the bathroom now.

it's a terirble punishment.. i grew up in a house with doors, but no space to have my own privacy.. i have many privacy issues to this day because I never had a space all to my own... that is not a right that it would be right for a parent to take away...
i mean when boys are over, make sure the door is open, but when she's on her own, let her have that... it's inhumane not to

My dad did that to me!
I wouldn't stop slamming my door so he took it off the hinges for a week!
I can think of worse punishments. We survived, right?

you can change clothes in the bathroom.....my daughter had a bad habit of not keeping her room picked up. i mean, you could NOT SEE HER FLOOR!!! we took her whole room away. she had to sleep in the hallway. do her homework in the hallway....she didn't get to play because she was grounded, so her only activity was reading, which she did....in the hallway. she was given one change of clothes, plus what she was wearing, pajamas,a pillow and a blanket, and her book (one at a time). the first time we did this, after three days we finally cleaned her room with garbage bags...and took everything from the floor to the dump. the next time, two years later, it took one night in the hallway and the threat of us cleaning her room before she went ahead and cleaned it. didn't have a problem again after that.
