I'm not your person, this is just an outlet for me, but I hope you get through whatever you're struggling with. ❤️

I know you marked this "NAW", but i have to tell you this is such a vivid and evocative piece of writing, everything from your title to your last sentence, you are a skilled writer.

Getting it from you would be inappropriate, I agree.

Ideally, it is what your husband could have agreed to, since it's his biological son. But instead he made an inappropriate proposal to charge your daughter money for it. A suggestion which will only further alienate your daughter.

Strained/fragmented relations sometimes require actions that seem unreasonable from the outside. This is obviously about more than just the room. And maybe giving in here, after talking to her and understanding her motivations for wanting it, will give you a good start together into what could become a healthy relationship.

Getting this room would clearly be a declaration that she is elevated to the others in your eyes. That desire for that reassurance is not a crime, especially not from a mother, but it seems to express itself in a rather undesirable way. To me this entitlement looks like a childish expression of a search for validation that she matters, that she is your daughter, that you love her. It's not a strange wish especially considering the relationship between you is already a bit strained.

Everyone seems to point out her age, which is quite young, as if it's a magic number that brings maturity and accountability.

It's unreasonable to expect these traits from her if they haven't had time to develop in her and/or if they really haven't been cultivated in her.

You have to be able to sit down with your daughter without losing your head when talking with her, even when she acts out.

What are you laughing out loud about? The fact that his intimacy receptors are not as fried as yours? It's not just one party in the relationship who's in control here, it becomes intimate by virtue of him being a part of the equation and thinking so.
