A Reddit user shares that he turned his daughter’s bedroom into a home office after she moved out and decided to live with her boyfriend. However, her boyfriend accepted a job abroad, and she didn’t want to go with him. So, she announced she’ll be moving back in with her parents.
The parents were okay with her moving back in. But, the daughter wasn’t happy living in the spare guest bedroom and wanted her original bedroom back.
What Makes This Room Special?
The original poster (OP) started working for a different company, and they allowed working from home. And, since his daughter was no longer using her room, it was a perfect opportunity for him to turn it into a home office.
He spends half of his job speaking to clients online. So, he needed a quiet place in the house. His daughter’s bedroom is ideal because it is on another floor and has a lot of privacy.
However, since moving back home, the OP’s daughter has been nagging him to give back her room. She, too, wanted the privacy that the space provided.
And, after refusing to turn his home office back to her room, the OP says his daughter is treating him like the enemy.

FF 30 years, will Mom or Dad get to pick the room in the house of Precious, where they will spend their sunset years? They’ll be lucky if they have any say whether home or nursing home.
Yep. Now we’ve got a couple of generations that on average are “adulting” up to age 40.
Oh well in that case, put her out on the curb. If you can't bring yourself to do that, at least secure the silverware.

Yes but today’s parent (especially SINGLE parent) treats their child as an adult confidant giving them 0% responsibility and 100% authority.
They are the parent’s “buddy” and no consequences nor requirements are made. Zero rules or curfews.
What’s not to love as a kiddult? No bills, mommy pays for it all and you can stay up all night on tiktok.

Neither right nor wrong. It’s his choice.

I can’t even imagine the reasoning of people who would argue that Dad should give in.
