Alan managed to lock the bathroom door tonight. Fortunately, we were all locked OUT and no one was in it. After a bit of rummaging I did find a screwdriver that opened it (I'm the family handy person).

Alan is being punished though - no TV tommorrow. He had a tough time going to bed tonight throwing a fit. Finally, I went in with him for a few minutes and he did fall asleep.

tomorrow he won't even remember why you punished him. Locking themselves in/out is something all little kids do. It's why many parents buy doorknobs without locks. Just be thankful that you didn't have to take the door off the hinges, like dad did when my brother did that.

I'm glad you are handy and got him out of the bathroom.

Thanks. But fortunately Alan was out of the bathroom when the door locked - no one could get in (we do have 2 bathrooms fortunately.)

We went through that phase with Benjamin, he was always locking doors as he went out of a room. We had the doorknobs where you just needed a straight round stick to pop the lock. So we had lollipops on the lintels over all the doors so we could open the doors with the stick part of it. I don't know what we'll do in this house, it has the handle kind of door instead of knob, and it is a different kind of lock.
