REVISIT Roommates Unreasonable

Shaking my head.

Three post-college young adults here. Varied roommates over the years - sometimes things went smoothly, sometimes less so - but never, never, ever anything like this. On the occasions I visited, I never felt unwelcome. I thought it rude (never voiced) if a roommate did not acknowledge my presence with a simple hi. Guess I had no idea what rude really is.

Roommates’ parents all visited (and sat down when they did so ;)) and no one thought a thing. Some stayed overnight.

I did always remind my kids to take a minute to at least say hi. I would be appalled at the behavior you describe.

My guess - the other girls want your daughter gone. Reasons don’t matter at this point, and I truly don’t think it will change.

You did nothing wrong. Your visit just provided the girls with something to pick about. If you hadn’t stopped by, it would have been something else (like the wine). Time for your daughter to move on.

And I’m sorry. Nothing is worse than coming home to a bad living arrangement.
