[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg whhhhhyyyy did you buy this house? It’s essentially going to turn into a nightmare of unnecessary trauma for your DD bc all she’ll remember is how excited she was to get this lovely bedroom and how you prevented her from having it for no reason at all and then took it a step further to destroy and rip out all the things she loved about it rather than let her enjoy it!
[b]That is next level cruelty imo.[/b]

Why not just let her have the extra smaller room as a playroom for now and a study/guest room layer?
The sneaking out thing would absolutely never have crossed my mind for a 9 year old. And if she does that even once, then seal up the door. Problem solved![/quote]

You have got to be a troll, or a spoiled person. Or it's Friday not and you're Drunk Responding.[/quote]

Really? 
How do you think you might feel, Op, if your DH showed you a beautiful home that had a gorgeous master bedroom with spacious master bath that you’ve always dreamed of, and as soon as you started planning aloud about all the ways in which you were looking forward to decorate it, he stopped you and said “oh no no no, sweetie that room isn’t for you. I thought we’d just keep that room for when my mother visits. We can have the bedroom in the basement!”[/quote]

You are not responding to OP. I'm a DP you're responding to. I just back OP. There is no comparing an adult in a main bedroom to a child in a kid's room. I think you are seeing this through some trauma lens of your own childhood. [/quote]

Maybe.
But from OPs description I think I could probably pass on my trauma lens to ther DD bc it honestly sounds like she specifically wants to withhold this from her daughter simply because she wants it so much.
And what’s more, she wants to take it a step further and knock out the builtins that made the room attractive to DD in the first place. So yes to me it reads as “no you can’t have this dreamy room that you love  that no one else is going to be using…and also I’m going to go ahead and destroy all the things about that room that make you love it. Because fair is fair.”[/quote]
