What is that? Just the door jamb to the bathroom. Hubby had to kick in the door to rescue the 5 yr old and 2 yr old. No biggie.
What do you mean, the lock won't turn? And who the heck designs a doorknob with the screws on the inside?...(quotes from hubby)
Yes, this is the same doorknob I personally replaced about a month ago after the older boys broke that one. Yes, that was the same way this problem happened.
You see, my kids enjoy this little house we're in. The only problem is that when you're mad at someone or when you steal their stuff and run away, there aren't very many places to hide.
What's the best solution? Why, run into the bathroom and barricade yourself while breaking locks and listening to mom yell, of course!
The last time they broke it, the handle would no longer latch, so for about a week we had to move the step stool in front of the door to take a shower without an audience.
This time was even more fun. The 5 yr old (culprit) and 2 yr old were stuck in the bathroom because the mad 8 yr old on the outside of the door broke the lock inside the handle and it was locked tight. It seems a butter knife is an inefficient tool to use when breaking into your brother's barricade to retreive your stolen stuff.
oh man talk about funny. It just means you will NEVER buy that kind of door handle ever again. How silly is it to have a door knob that locks your kids IN?? Well atleast they are safe and in years to come you will look back and laugh at all the silly things your kids did!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say... you have given me a reason to appreciate the fact that my 3-and-under kids are too young to figure out you can steal stuff and then lock yourself in somewhere? And I was just wishing they were older... :) But you still have my sympathies :)
ReplyDeleteI LOL and I'm working. I just love your kids they are so great. The hiding and locking don't get better when they get bigger. They just find better ways to hide and break things.
