I agree... I do not think it's vindictive. However, I don't know how to explain why they do something like that when I'm not in the room. Anxious, nervous, separation issues??? They are smart boys who know to go outside for potty, but this type of behavior happens just about EVERY time I shut them out of a room that I'm in, even for only 3 mins. I am lost on this one. I know when I come out of the room to just start hunting for where they went cuz it's somewhere, no doubt.
