WIBU to say that DD cannot sleep downstairs?

[BrunoBrown]

DD is 11 and is very hot in her room. She has a big fan, etc. though. It's cooler downstairs and she wants to sleep on the sofa. DH and I like our evenings on that! AIBU to say she can't?

If you let her, she'll be sleeping on the sofa until September.

"Let her sleep downstairs - excuse for an early night with dh"

God no, not in this heat. You'd be sliding off each other.

I've let DS sleep downstairs in the past, though we do have a downstairs bedroom. The design of our house, plus not initially insulting properly so thye came back and added more stuff, means it is stifling upstairs.

Our bedrooms are also in the loft so it's like they are wrapped in a humungous duvet..

Could you settle her downstairs and retire upstairs earlier ?

Yabu, my dcs and i slept on the sofa last night, much cooler.

I have a downstairs bedroom and am finding it difficult to sleep because of the heat. I'd hate to be in an upstairs room - always used to sleep on the sofa or even downstairs floor as a child when it was hot. YABU to put wanting to sit on the sofa above her comfort, although I recognise that it'll be an annoyance to have to change your evening routine.

She sleeps on th sofa and you spend your evening in the garden?

I'm in a first floor flat - so it's like upstairs all day long!

However it's cooler in lounge at night due to where sun comes and goes and so this has given me the idea it may be better to sleep there!

I would let her, hot air rises, and in my house the front bedrooms are roasting after being in full sun all afternoon remembers to close curtains upstairs and I had 2 kids coming downstairs as they were too hot for 2 hours last night!

Swap bedrooms with her

@GloriaV - I don't see how that would help? Couldn't happen anyway as beds but still wouldn't help.

If she had a fan and isn't going to over heat as op said in pp, then she can stay in her room.
Everyone's is hot, it's a rare British heat wave.

YANBU. I wouldn't want her downstairs all evening either. Also it looks like it's going to be hot for at least the next few days so she'll be wanting to do it every night.

Let her do it. Run a bath, get a book and a glass of wine or iced water. Keep it topped up - bath and drink. Put the radio on low. Stay there until bedtime. Let's all just get through it without the drama.

I'd let her come down once you go to bed, or if she wakes in the night
