    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.

      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 know parents who removed the door from their kid’s room because she was playing with matches in her room.

    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 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

    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.

    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)
