Who's BU over our adult DC's bedroom?

Background. When our DD (now20ys) started University, we ensured she had all the necessities and home comforts to get her going. This covered everything from pots, pans, cutlery and crockery, new bedding, storage, lamps, towels, cleaning products etc..

When she was home full time, she had a very big bedroom, whilst her brother (then 13) was in the smallest bedroom. It was agreed once settled at Uni, I would swap the rooms over, as it made sense the biggest room was being used, and that DS had a lot of stuff and was cramped in the smaller room. All good, DD understood and was happy.

As DD was moving into a much smaller room, I completely redecorated and furnished. The room looked beautiful! I put so much effort into making it a great room for when she come home-And she loved it!

Anyhow, she has just gone back into her third year. And she obviously loves her room so much she has taken the bedding, the rug, the lamp, the cushions, mirror, wall art, side-table etc..

Now DP thinks IABU to be annoyed, as these things were in her room and fair game to take.

I think I am fine to feel miffed. I put a lot of effort to make the room lovely for when she comes home, and all the things she took she didn't need to, as she has those things already.

DP knows I am writing this. So if i am BU. Slate me gently!

No ways that’s shocking. You set her up for uni with loads of stuff and now she’s taken more stuff from your house. I’d be highly annoyed. Don’t agree with posters who said it’s hers for the taking, and I’ve only read the first page of comments...

What an entitled kid
And you let her!
You should have told her no 😣
But now she comes to visit she can have a nice room with nothing in there 😅

I took all my bedroom furniture from my Mum and Dads house when I moved to my own. That said, I did ask first.
