You tolerate door slamming? Neither I nor my spouse do, I wouldn't recommend it either. It's disrespectful to you, or whomever gets the door slam.

Yes. Appropriate display of anger. On inanimate object that is unharmed rather than on people. I have also been known to bang doors when cross. Usually kitchen cupboards.
-
And does it escalate to throwing things next? Where's the line when rude & destructive displays of anger are tolerated? Is cursing at you next? You've already shown a tolerance for rudeness. Why shouldn't she?
-
She knows where the line is. For us, slamming her own door is on the right side of it. Being abusive or violent to people is not. I don't want to have to stop showing anger when I feel it and feel directing it an inanimate objects in her own space is appropriate.
-
This is what we've always told her, anyway. There's nothing wrong with having feelings only with unleashing them on others. Take them into your own space, throw your own stuff around. Come back when you're calm and ready to be around people again.
-
That also enabled me to go and have some calm down time when I felt at risk of losing my temper with her.
-
And this I understand more than you can know. I have three girls. Each is almost 2 years apart, & the middle is autistic. There were many times I had to put them in their cribs and go outside. I understand that, and don't think less of you for it.
-
Mine is also somewhere on the ASD. Well, no, its the right thing to do. Go away. I also close the door and say 'fuck, cunt, bollocks, wanker' etc to relieve feelings and come out again. Sometimes I slam a door.

Isn't it a bit late to get rid of them by the time they become teenagers?

Yes, forward thinking is required.

‘Tis boy problems. Or friend problems. Or the way you’ve looked at her. It’s like you’ve never been a teenage girl, Helen.

Bury 'em at 13, dig 'em up at 21 is what my dad used to say.

She'll be mad at you for bothering her now...But will hold it against you later if you don't. Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.

The universal sound of reassurance.

Closely related to: "Was it something I said"? "YEEEEESSS"!

What's the problem? She's doing her thing. You can do yours. She's almost self sufficient. Seems like a perfect specimen of a human being.
