[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 479394, member: 9175"] Nancy, It is so wonderful that she found this roommate! I would have done the same thing with giving her the sheets and the bed frame, but making her wait for the bedroom set. My difficult child moved in with her boyfriend (ugh) at the beginning of the month. She wanted her Tempurpedic mattress and I said no. Then her DAD gets involved (why?) and makes this absurd offer that she take his mattress if I gave him hers. What? The funny thing is, he'd made this crazy offer to me way back in the summer. I said no then. I told her that certainlly didn't make sense - dad gets her good mattress, she gets his cast off and I end up with nothing! She was very understanding. I told her she could have her frame and headboard and that i would give her the mattress when she was more established. BFs mom bought them one, but it wouldn't have hurt her to sleep on an air mattress for awhile. They have to learn to work for and appreciate what they have. It sounds like you are balancing helping her with letting her make her own way. I'm happy for her! Dash [/QUOTE]
