And I am not a hard ass by any means - but this kind of disrespect would simply never happen in our house. I would knock the damn door down before I ever let my teenage get away with that.
This. I’d be calm but deadly serious. We went through this with our DD when she was 6 and we took the door off for a couple of days. If she tries on rare occasion to lock us out we tell her she’s going to lose her door, and then she opens it right away.
