To not want to put up with one mum's faddy habits at nursery?

Ok, so DD is starting at a new nursery next week. I visited today and the sleep room was totally blacked out. I asked why, and it turns out that one mum insisted that it was blacked out so her little one, who has been brought up following a certain baby-rearing philosophy, can sleep. I happen to know this mum and her baby chucks major tantrums if she tries to get her to nap anywhere apart from a cot in a blacked out room.

I've brought my dd up being able to sleep anywhere, at any time, which is much more flexible for everyone and don't want her to get used to only being able to sleep in a dark room. Am I unreasonable for being peed that my good work is going to be undone just because of one mum!!

You are being unreasonable.

I probably wouldn't make a fuss, as after all it will be ony a few naps for you - you're not leaving her there 24/7. But if I was feeling narky then I'd possibly say something along the lines that your dd is used to a nightlight!

what would htey say if you told them your dd can only sleep with the light on?

say, if you were being really awkward...

If your dd is a flexible sleeper - why will she be unable to sleep in a darkened room?
