[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand your DH's rule, due especially to younger siblings, and I think your daughter has every right to do what she plans to do but I still think she is being a brat.  It's only a few days and for the sake of family harmony and facilitating a good relationship between her SO and her parents, I think she should be more flexible.  FWIW, I have been in almost the exact situation with my daughters and they always respected our house rules (even if they didn't like them).[/quote]
Being a brat would be sneaking around and flaunt breaking her dad's rule in front of her siblings. She's not doing that.

We don't know what conversations have occurred between DD and her BF.  Perhaps he's really uncomfortable sleeping in the den?  Perhaps he has a bad back and can't sleep on a fold out couch?  We do know that she isn't just making decisions by herself--she has to consider his feelings too.  They've decided to stay in a hotel--for whatever reason--after learning they can't both use the bedroom at your home.  There's nothing bratty about that.  She's allowed to consider his feelings (and her own feelings) in deciding where to sleep.  She's being respectful of her dad's rules in doing so.

Your DH needs to get over himself.[/quote]
