To think this is unfair

DD17 goes to her dad's every other weekend. She's always shared a room with her younger step sibling.

They have recently had a change round of rooms which means DD no longer has a bed and will now be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. When questioning the decision, DD was told they weren't expecting her to still be visiting at nearly 18.

DD now no longer wants to go every other weekend (or sleep over at all) as her Dad and step mum are early risers, and you have to walk through the living room in order to get to the kitchen. She also has other step siblings including in the house that return home late at night.

AIBU in thinking this room swap could have been put on hold until she goes to university in September, or is it ok because she's nearly an adult? Would be interested to hear other people's opinions!

Speaking as a step parent, no, this is totally unacceptable. My SS will be welcome here for as long as he wants to come and will always have his own space here.

It doesn’t sound like the dd thinks it has been gentle…..

But yes they are kicking her out.

Nothing gentle about it.

This is bad. The adult still
lives there and gets a place to stay. What a dick move by the dad showing he doesn’t care whether his own kid visits.
