If the PP who went "full rebellion" lost a door, I would venture to guess that was not her parents [i]first [/i]response. She certainly ignored many other efforts to get her attention before they did that. And if nothing else was getting through, then yes, off comes the door.[/quote]

I can't imagine any circumstance where it would ever be appropriate to take someone's door as a response for not picking something up off the floor. You save that for the big stuff. Picking socks up off the floor is not big stuff, even if it's two socks a day every day for years. Plus there isn't even any logical connection between not picking something up off the floor in the living room and getting your bedroom door taken away.[/quote]

Meh. Who knows what the backstory was. If those socks on the floor were the 10,000th transgression that pushed the parents over the edge into door-removal, so be it.[/quote]

No. Yes, as a parent, you sometimes lose your temper and do irrational things. But then you apologize.[/quote]
