So, here we are—contemplating parenthood’s quirkiest bedtime ritual while Mercury’s mischievous retrograde turns our usual logic upside down. Imagine locking your child’s door—not out of spite, but as a loving bedtime ritual of “We adore you, but also—lights out!” The old “stand outside and serenade with love” approach that’s causing quite the buzz.

Whatever the verdict, there’s something oddly poetic in harnessing a little locked-door magic to tame the chaos of those star-crossed sleepless nights. Curious about the method behind this madness? LEARN MORE.

“I’m sorry, I know that’s controversial,” she continued. “But we lock [the door] when she gets in there, and we stand outside and say, ‘We love you, we will talk to you in the morning, but now, it’s time for sleep.’ Then, after about 10 minutes, she’ll wind herself down. And then, before we go to bed, obviously, we unlock it.”
