My 22yr old daughter left home 2 years ago to share a flat with a friend which isn’t working out. I moved my partner in a year ago who has 2 children that stay alternate weekends. We now have bunk beds 🛌 n the spare room to accommodate them. Boy is 14. Girl is 12 and we all get on very well. My daughter now wants to come home but I feel terrible and don’t know what to do. If she moved home his children would not be able to stay for the alternate weekends due to lack of space being a 2 bed house. I feel guilty that my daughter is worried and I feel I can’t offer her old bedroom back to her even though his kids stay every other weekend. He doesn’t seem to understand why I feel sad and guilty about this and is obviously just thinking of his own children’s needs. I don’t know what to do. The house is rented in my name. I’ve lived here for 5 years. He moved in a year ago. What should I do?

Keep the bunk beds she can sleep on one, can't imagine DSC have tons of stuff for eow. Tell DD she can come back but every alternate weekend when DSC stay she could sleep in the lounge or stay with friends?

She's an adult so she has to be the one to compromise really, she should understand why this needs to happen. So it's a shared room essentially whilst she sorts herself out. Every other weekend isn't that bad to have to sleep elsewhere she gets the room for the remaining days as her own.
