DD is 13 and is in one of the two rooms we had built when we had our loft extension. It's a small room with a dormer and she is fed up that most of her friends seem to have huge rooms with double beds and desks in. Because of the shape of her room, she can't have a cabin style bed to gain more space and there's nowhere else the bed can go. She could have a desk in there (which is what she wants) but doesn't want it to take up all the floor space. She is suggesting getting rid of her small wardrobe and having a desk there instead but she has come up with no solution of where her 'hanging' clothes would then go?! I suspect they would be scrunched up into tiny balls and shoved in a drawer which she'll then get fed up about in 6 months and the want her cupboard back!
Does anyone have any suggestions?! Do I let her get rid of the wardrobe?! I think it's a really stupid idea but accept she is trying to make her 'mark'!!
I suspect this is all becaus she is cross that her older brother has a bigger room that she thinks is wasted on him!!
