fairfarmhand Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 My post from last week: "Did you know that having a door is a privilege.... that can be lost by slamming that door? (my 12 yo dd is not going to enjoy this week)" But there is one problem with this that I found out this morning.... you can't remove every door in the house !!!! :banghead: My dh made a deal with my dd....(he has been known to slam a few doors in anger) If my dd slams a door she owes my dh 10 bucks. If my dh slams a door he owes her 10 bucks.....' we'll see how plan B works. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 So they trade the money? I would make both of them give the money to you - then you could treat yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfarmhand Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 So they trade the money? I would make both of them give the money to you - then you could treat yourself! yeah! I like that idea.... I think this is going to turn into a wager though...which one can go longest without door slamming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I think this is a *wonderful* solution. Rather than punishment, dh and dd can use friendly competition & humor, plus share strategies so they can *both* get better. It's a solution that treats your growing dd more like a responsible person and less like a child, which hopefully she'll appreciate (not that she'll mention it :)). Good luck!
