Question: is it ok that a 2 yr old just throws doors open on anyone in the house? Even someone changing?

[FirstLight]

I think this is an issue of the "mother" not paying attention to the child and just letting her run rampant while she's on he fucking phone. But the "baby" just pushes doors open on anyone in the house. My son included...who may be the kids step dad, but still, it's not appropriate for her to think it's ok to do so OR to see him naked.

This is my son's gf, and the kid is not my grandchild. Or I'd have more to say about it.

But i did offer my 2 cents and said it was an issue of her not being watched well. Devin is pissed because he thinks it's inappropriate behavior and thnks she should not see him in a state of undress either. That the kid thinks she can just do anything and run rampant around the house is bullshit anyway...

[Think. Again.]

1. It's a child.

[FirstLight]

2. yes, but said child shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they like while the mom sits on her ass

She's barged into my room and just climbed up on the bed to harass the cat. She literally had NO boundaries. and I believe that 2 years old is old enought to know what's not ok, like just opening a door when it's closed...

3. I'm not sure a 2 year old would comprehend the the nuances involved...

...in choosing whch doors are socially acceptable to open at any given moment.

11. A two year old isn't going to remember which doors she's allowed to open.

Two year olds are only beginning to learn boundaries. They're babies, really. You can't expect consistent behavior or consistent obedience with them.

4. Get a locking door knob

5. This girl is too young to be wandering around without supervision! What about the dangers in the house?

Your son needs to take responsibility for the child and you. They are in your house and he needs to respect that. If his g/f isn't onboard, that is something he needs to handle.

6. If it's your home, you could tell the mother to leave

unless she supervises her kid.

If the child gets injured you could end up getting sued.

9. Shouldn't the safety of the child be the first concern? And how about if the son also takes some

responsibility, instead of just complaining. If he is in a step-dad role, which he needs to be, he needs to step up to the plate.

7. 2 year olds are scientists and perhaps too early cognitively to conceptualize privacy

After all, a two year old's privacy is transgressed multiple times a day, of necessity.

Two year olds are scientists exploring a new world, testing things for sounds, seeing what happens when something breaks, discovering that people have reactions when you open doors, heck, they are just beginning to get a grip on the "Door" concept.

On the flip side, the reactions need to be measured because, hey two years old, but there need to be reactions or else how are they going to learn the meaning of it and learn the way self-respecting humans behave.

Notice I didn't tell you what to do other than treat a toddler with respect while doing whatever you decide to do. :smirk:

8. Don't just say no, show the kid the right way

Make a game of it. Knock knock who’s there? The child needs to be taught. That’s all.

[FirstLight]

10. Its more the fact that the mom justified her not watching the kid

Than even trying to make it a teachable thing...
She also puts her down for a nap for 4 hours a day and lets her fucking cry instead of even trying to help her rest or listening to the kids needs ..

12. It is your home...

And they need to learn how to parent. They need to respect your privacy and the fact that you are letting them live there. They already know what it's like to not have a home, they should have learned from that.

Just sayin'.

The child needs parental guidance.
