Adult children claiming bedrooms

I have a 25yo daughter moved out 2 years ago. 30yo son had to move back due to divorce. Not working at present but in process of starting new job wfh. Told 25yo we would like to move brother into larger room to accommodate for this and she has gone mental. Explained wouldn't throw anything of hers away but as she only comes home couple times a month and he will be paying rent and due to his circumstances he should get the larger room. She has now said she won't give it up. We are putting him before her and being we are unreasonable and if we give him the room she won't come back! I'm aghast. Surely I'm not being unreasonable in the circumstances? We try to give them as much help as possible we're currently paying off her car for her and she says we're favouring him..

30yo has a WFH job in your house? Will your kiddos ever grow up, I wonder?

A 30yo man living with his parents is hardly living the dream. I suspect he needs the financial or emotional support right now after the breakdown of his marriage.

2months after I moved out of my parents place my mum converted my bedroom into a hobby room! I helped them do it! It was their house, I no longer paid rent therefore no longer had claim to it! They did put in a sofabed thing incase either me or my brother wanted to stay! Your daughter needs to grow up!
