Privacy, Part 2 (1 Comment)
I have talked about Privacy here before. Children don’t seem to think anyone needs any- until they reach the Teenage years. Then all they are concerned about is their own.
When my youngest is a teen, I am going to stand outside the bathroom asking over and over if she is done. I will not be satisfied when she replies that she will come out when she is done so I’ll try the door. She’ll yell that she will COME OUT WHEN SHE IS DONE! Unsatisfied still I will then lay on the floor so I can peer through the gap between the door and the floor. Then I’ll be able to ask her more specific questions as I watch her feet move about.
Are you done peeing?
Are you done washing?
Are you done with the lotion?
I’ll be laughing, I’m pretty sure she will not.
And lets not forget waking them at a very early hour when all they would like is just a little more time in the land of nod.
Ooohh and how about the innocent mutterings of things sure to embarrass them in front of their friends.
The teenage years are indeed the time for retribution!
