DD19’s Roommate’s BF visiting from OOS for weekend, must DD vacate?

DD prefers to sleep in her own bed, in her own room with her own things. Last semester when she vacated…She had nowhere to go in the wee hours of the morning and ended up in the dorm lounge with no blankets or anything, just out in the open.

I agree she should have a conversation and should be open with her feelings. She was asking for my help in how to do this without potentially damaging relationship with roommate.

Your daughter has a right to sleep in her own bed. The way to refuse the request is to say “sorry, that doesn’t work for me.” If the roommate persists in asking, it’s not your daughter who’s damaging the relationship.

I wouldn’t be eager to have my daughter sleep out in the open in a dorm lounge. I wouldn’t feel safe sleeping out in the open like that and I wouldn’t want my daughter to do it either. And she shouldn’t have to sleep on someone’s floor either.
