I don’t like the setup of my house, but it is what it is. My kids room door is at a 90 degree angle to ours. I’ve always wanted to install and practice an escape since we’re on the second floor, but my ex wife had a problem with that (go figure). When I manage to get her out of my house, how do I go about retraining my kid with this? He absolutely refuses to sleep with the door shut, even with one of us in the room, and if he wakes up with it shut, it’s bloody murder.
Her logic (that’d I have been overridden on) is that I am literally 4 steps away from his bed in an emergency, and I could leap in, close the door and escape through that window. Mind you I’m 207 227(edit, she cheated on me again and I caught her on 06/05, probably caused the weight gain) lbs and deathly afraid of fire.
What I want to do is install one of the fire escape ladders that rolled through the window and practice going down that with my kid before working on getting him to close the door at night.
Is there an order I should do these things? Like door first, then escape? Or escape first, then door?
Closed. This can be lifesaving in case of a fire.

This right here. As a firefighter I’ve seen it. Also nowadays if the door is open I can’t sleep…I just keep opening my eyes and seeing that open door…
Alright, so here’s the deal.

First step IMHO is to understand what problem your kid is solving by having the door open.
