DD recently started uni and is sharing a house with 7 girls. Before they moved in they discussed locks on doors with the rental agent who said they could only use the landlord’s locksmith at a cost of £120. Only one girl did it due to the cost.
DD told me last weekend that one girl wasn’t settling - was refusing all offers to socialise and on phone constantly to mum, boyfriend and Nan. I encouraged her to be nice and keep asking her out.
This week 7 members of the girl’s family turned up at the house and put a lock on the door. DD texted and politely asked if the girl would cover any deductions from the rental deposit as a result of the unauthorised lock.
The girl’s mother then stormed into DD’s room and shouted at her accusing her of excluding and bullying the girl - eg she said it was selfish my DD (who has a car) didn’t drive the girl to Asda to go shopping when DD didn’t need/want to go (WTAF!!). Mother then shouted at all the girls in the house similarly. DD is adamant noone has excluded the girl. She says she’s very child like - eg the constant phoning home, bedroom full of teddies, obsessed with Disney and her nan is her ‘best friend’. I’m sad for the girl who sounds as though she’s not ready to live independently but surely this is rude and inappropriate behaviour.
