[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a pretty big sign of immaturity that the oldest wants to hoard the room while she’s at college. You need to step in and be the parent.[/quote]

No kidding super selfish attitude. I'd let the oldest know if she wants to be immature and [b]selfish[/b] she can keep the room and head off to community college for the year.

My mother in law has two bedrooms enshrined to DH's sisters. They have never cleared their stuff out. They are 48 and 52 with homes of their own![/quote]

It may not be "selfish."  My kids have lived in the same house/rooms all their lives.  The oldest's room is slightly bigger, but nothing special.  I think it will be hard to give up the emotional connection to their room for even the youngest, who has the smallest room.  For me, moving away to college was a big transition, so I can understand not wanting too many changes at once.  Threatening community college seems like an immature way for a parent to handle the situation.  I'd figure out a way to make the change, while taking into consideration the years of memories each child has connected to their room. [/quote]
