[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say “sure no problem.” I would be a little annoyed but giving up the bed I want is not as bad as starting off in the wrong foot with somebody I have to live with. And it’s not a crazy request. [/quote]

+1  Nothing to go to war over, and mommy needs to butt out.[/quote]

Dp. Nowhere did op say she was going to get directly involved.  Your comment was unnecessary.  I do think roommate was rude in the way they made the request.  Just because one thinks that doesnt mean anyone is "going to war"  how absurd to even compare[/quote]

[i]“Hi, I see we will be roommates for Spring Semester. I was on campus last semester and had the bed and desk by the window. For break I had to pack everything as we did not know if we would return to campus. I am not sure of your move in date, mine is ____. If you arrive before me can you please leave the bed and desk by the window for me to move into?”[/i]

Where's the rudeness, exactly?  It's a reasonable request, and the roommate said please.  OP's kid can say no, which is an option, but it will not be conducive to a pleasant living arrangement.  And OP should butt out.  [/quote]
