A mum has been praised for her quick thinking when it came to her son and the punishment that she enacted afterward when she realised what the 16-year-old had been up to behind her back. The parent shared that she didn't mind her son having "privacy" by locking his door, and she said that it hadn't been a problem until he made it obvious that he wasn't actually behind the door when it was bedtime.
She said that she always checks on her kids before she goes to sleep, and when her son was unresponsive, she panicked, thinking the worst. But when she "took the door off the frame" and he wasn't there, she knew he'd "snuck out" to a party - and she prepared his punishment.
She took to Reddit to explain what had happened, explaining that they were currently "replacing" the locks on the doors in their home getting "custom" ones. The mum also explained she didn't mind her son locking his door for "privacy."
