Hi
My partner and I want to move out of certain area into a better area. Same town just closer to the town centre and alot better area...
We currently live in a small two bed house and found a large two bed flat..it needs work, only decorating not structure work ..but it's the space we love. It's bigger and better lay out for our needs. Got our own front door with stairs to the flat..no sharing it's all ours..
The bedrooms are alot better than what we got here. They are both large double rooms . I currently have double and my daughter's in a single room here...

Now my 21 year old daughter lives with us and last year we looked into moving to a property and she went mental, screaming and shouting. We lost out on that property as when she viewed it with us and she was rude to the owners...she came across a spoilt brat to he honest..don't know what got into her she Saying as 20 years old...saying it's dirty and grubby her whole attitude stunk it was embarrassing.
So we lost that one,!!

After a stern conversation with her she said she likes where we are and it's a new build style and she not embarrassed by it, ( image thing)and she fed up of moving..she only moved four times in 21years..
Our current property is in new build style where as the property we like is older style.

We are so worried how to tell her any advice please as so worried cos of previous reaction

She works full time and pays us little rent if that makes a difference to anything.

Thank you

I'd tell her you're moving, she's welcome to join you, if not feel
free to find her own flat and pay for it.

She needs to get a grip. If she's living under your roof, then you should call the shots, not her.
It's not like she's a child, with loads of friends closeby and it means moving schools, etc. she needs to behave like an adult

Sheesh. What a brat.

How's the move going @Kaitkyn76?

She's an adult. If she has an issue with it, she can find somewhere else to live.

I can't even imagine losing my shit because my parents decided move somewhere more suitable for them. My parents would not have been impressed.

The entitled behaviour has to stop sometime for your daughter, and it starts with you not pandering to it anymore.
