[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is hard. And not new. Sounds like your DD is kind but that may not cut it here.

Forty years ago, winter quarter frosh year, my room mate brought in an early AM drunk hook up. In the morning, I told her, "that won't be happening again."

Spring quarter of same year, she started coming in consistently @ 2 AM after studying, banging around to get ready for bed. It went on for three nights. After the third one, I shook her awake in the morning before I left for breakfast (I took 9 AM classes, she took 10 AM classes) and she started sputtering about why I was waking her up when she needed her sleep. "Every night before I go to bed I get out all my clothes for the next day so I don't have to open my closet door/dresser then I pack my backpack and zip it up so I don't wake you up. You have a job and can't start studying till 9:30 so I am trying to be considerate. But if you wake me up one more time at 2 AM, then I will do this every morning till you stop."

It never happened again.

I wish my college roommate had done that with me. I was the terrible roommate my first year, for all kinds of embarrassing reasons. I feel like one good talking-to might have changed that - and I could look back on those 30 years ago without so much shame.[/quote]
