To ban SD from my en suite?!

I’m fuming!!

When I moved in with DH, an en suite was an essential on my list. I have DD12 and he has SS15 and SD17 and I don’t want to share my personal space with teenagers. They’re also not allowed in our bed.

Have come back from a work trip early to find SD getting out of my bath, with my shampoos, body lotions and creams laid out and my bloody dressing gown and slippers on and apparently she often does this when I’m away!

She - and DH and everyone else - are well aware my en suite is off limits. AIBU?

I can see why you don't like it and you might want to set a few rules, but I also think you are overreacting.

My DD has left home now but she would often use our en-suite as it was the only bath and would use some of my products, tweezers, nail scissors etc. She'd usually ask first, but not always. And she didn't always return them either. I wouldnt think anything of her using my dressing gown tbh, but the she quite often borrowed clothes and shoes.

Annoying, but not the huge deal that you as some others think it is.

I'm intrigued that it is YOUR en-suite. Does your husband not get to use it at all?

I've just remembered one occasion when DH and I were in bed (I can't remember whether it was late night or early morning) and DD knocked, came in, announced that she urgently needed a nude coloured bra and all hers were in the wash. She grabbed the one off my chair and ran off with it. I pointed out it wasn't all that clean but she didn't seem too concerned 😂

My kids use my en-suite, and my daughter uses my stuff, I also pinch her expensive makeup, win win

I used to pinch my daughter's make up too!

No one is saying it is her responsibility! But clearly she feels some responsibility and is caring for her by buying essentials.

Op was asking if she was being unreasonable, I just said from the limited information it didn't sound like a 'fuck you', just remind of
