I lost my door as a child several times but it was always for slamming it when I was upset.
In hindsight I feel it was reasonable but it's all in how it's done. I'd lose it for a couple days to a week at most and only after being warned.
For me it was also pre-puberty/young adult years, when I was 8-10 years old.
That is one of the most obvious trolls I've ever seen.
Pay attention to the "voices" people use. Someone who actually does something like that is highly unlikely to frame it in such a way. They chose their words very specifically to elicit a desired emotion in the reader.
My parents did this and claimed it was normal and to "ask your friends at school" I did, and they said it was abuse. She didn't change her mind.
I've known parents who removed doors from their kids' rooms because they don't want the kid to lock them out.
Not as uncommon as you'd think.
It's completely idiotic because internal door locks, the kind in the knob, have a little hole that you can use a tool to unlock it from the outside. I think it's meant for in case of emergency, but the point is they're trivially easy to unlock.
The parents are more likely control freaks.
a window was open in the house and I accidentally shut the door too loudly one time and my door was removed for weeks months (there was no history of me slamming doors, I think punishment for the sake of punishment was the point)
no privacy for changing, sleeping, etc. - it was stressful
EDIT: I just remembered it was more than weeks, it was months - I had journal entries about wondering when I would ever get my door back.
Yea my parents did that. I didn't want to spend time with them because they were abusive assholes (why yes, CPS were called!), but apparently that meant there was something wrong with me, so they took the door off my room so I couldn't have a safe space from the constant screaming and violence. Guess who swung hard Trumpy antivaxx Q believers in 2016?
Do their kids still talk to them?
I had friends who's parents did that when we were kids. They moved as far as they physically could as soon as they turned 18.
Do their kids still talk to them?
Some, yeah. Others, no, but typically for more pronounced reasons.
Really depends on how financially independent the kid managed to get from the parents. You'd be surprised what someone will put up with to stay in a rich family's good graces, particularly when they themselves failed to launch
Did they also punch a hole in the wall when it was hot instead of opening a window? Locks can be removed from doors.
My parents just ensured the lock on the door knob had a slit on the outside so you could stick anything in there and rotate to unlock it. Half the time, they just used a long fingernail or the edge of a coin. It didn't require much effort.
They'd still get mad at me for locking my bedroom door and would threaten to remove the door if I kept locking it, but it took them maybe 10 seconds to open it without tools.
They never followed through on the threat; I kept my bedroom door all throughout my childhood.
I removed my daughters door for a week because she wouldn't stop slamming it, even after having to pay for the second replacement out of her allowance. I hung a blanket across the door frame. She still slams it every once in a while when she's mad, but no where near as often, and now her door has a lock.
i wonder if that alone is enough to get child protective services involved. taking away privacy is a human rights violation.
Can't be taking away privacy if they have none in the first place. tap tap head
In the U.S., doubt it. My door was taken away at 14 for sneaking out of the house one night and I only got it back a month before graduating high school because my dads girlfriend called him out on it. I honestly wasnt a bad kid growing up. Other than literally a few stupid moments, including the sneaking out, I was normally that sterotypical straight A honor student that kept to themselves.
Tell that to our government. They don't care about our privacy.
i wish i could personally buy that girl an axe so she can hack to pieces every other door in the entire house so her dipshit parent can experience how much it sucks to not have doors.
If you did then also give her training so she doesn't take her own limbs off, or worse.
looks like she needs more a-door-ing parents.
They don't care about the cause they are promoting. They say these things as strategy. It's about utilizing peoples emotions to encourage them and lead them, regardless of side. It gaslights the left and they want that. It emboldens the right extremism and they want that. It divides and occupies the minds of people creating pawns that do work for them, even if that work is just talking about and "fighting against" it. It's all just social manipulation. ...because they know exactly how to socially guide and manipulate. They know the typical responses they will get from people and can utilize each response for their cause.
Wrong post, lol

I don't know which post you meant that for, but to me, it seems to make pretty good sense with this one.
wrong thread, but well said!
I got so confused until I read the last part 😂
I don't understand why people like this go out of their way to have children. Then again, it's also Quora, where landlords routinely scheme about how to screw over tenants and/or leech the most money out of them
Jesus fucking christ. I was raised by an horrifically abusive woman that i haven't had contact with in a decade and even she didn't pull this shit.

Can we all agree that without context its hard to judge whether a disciplinary action is reasonable or not?
these are probably trolls. At one point quora had a "partner program" where people would get paid to post questions, but only if the questions got enough engagement. The question generators realized that coming up with interesting questions was kind of hard, so they just started pouring out ragebait.
If it's too obvious people may realize it's a troll, so the ideal way to do it is phrase it in a vague way that leaves a lot to the imagination (here for example people can easily make the assumption that you're an idiotic and boneheaded parent)
Where's the fun in that?
Enjoy being able to see or speak to her for two more years I guess.
Exactly.
