Mother Asks If She’s Wrong For Removing Door Because Daughter Kept Slamming It 2026

OP, a 40-year-old mother, has been contending with a persistent issue involving her 14-year-old daughter, Maggie, who consistently slams her bedroom door, causing disruptions for the entire household. Despite numerous polite and firm requests to cease the behavior, Maggie continued the door slamming, prompting OP and her husband to take a drastic step. After another night of disturbances, the parents removed Maggie’s bedroom door and replaced it with a heavy curtain on a curtain rod. While OP believes this consequence is a reasonable response to the ongoing disruption, Maggie perceives it as an intrusion on her privacy, accusing her parents of emotional abu**. The family is now at an impasse, with Maggie refusing to communicate and sulking, while OP grapples with conflicting opinions on whether her actions were justified
