‘My Husband Removed Door From Our 14-Year-Old Son’s Bedroom & Says He’s Too Young For Privacy’

A 14-Year-Old was left with just an empty bedroom door frame despite his mom’s disagreement with his dad’s “no closed doors” policy. The dad believed that while the boy was under their care, they should keep an eye on him. But the mom reinstalled the door for her son’s birthday when her husband was away, which led to the man fuming on his return. 

A mum shared how her husband took away & insisted their 14-Year-Old son shouldn’t have a bedroom door.

Sharing this to Reddit, the anonymous woman claimed the mentioned above situation had been one of the things straining her and her husband’s relationship lately, especially as she thinks a teen should have some freedom, maybe not entirely out of their sight, but a door at least. Her story captioned: “My husband believes that until he’s 18, our son shouldn’t conceal his room as he is under our care.”

Her story reads: “But my husband keeps insisting on him having almost no freedom at all. Whenever I bring up the door thing, he shuts me down with “this is what it’ll take him to a man and “this is how I was raised. Both my son’s birthday and Christmas are coming up, and I decided he should finally have a door to his room.”

But she reinstalled the door for her son’s birthday when her husband was away, which led to the man fuming.

“So I went behind my husband’s back and bought a new door and hurried it to be installed while they were both away. When my son came from school, he was incredibly delighted, but my husband didn’t receive the news so well. He told me that this is not the kind of decision I should be making by myself and that I disrespected his authority, and now he’s refusing to even sleep in the same bed as me.”

The woman concluded that she wondered if this should have been a conversation rather than disrespecting his wishes. Without hesitation, Redditors jumped in and shared their opinion on the situation. One said: “Your husband is super controlling. Scary frankly. Some people questioned why she had stayed so long with a man who treats her son that way.

The woman is quite worried because the situation has affected her and her husband’s relationship lately.

Another said: “Your husband was the one who made the decision not to let him have a door, without your input, and now you’ve shown him what that’s like, and he doesn’t like it.” A third stated: “There are bigger issues here than the door, which is already a big issue. I believe not having a door or any right to privacy is abusive. I’m sorry your husband was brought up in an abusive home, but that doesn’t give him the right to abuse your son.”
