54-year-old mom scolds her 19-year-old daughter's roommate for being uncomfortable with her sleeping over in their dorm room: 'I don’t know her mom well enough to want to sleep in the same room with her'

She literally has a hotel room that her daughter could spend the night in.

Overnight guests can be a contentious debate amongst roommates. When you have your own bedroom in a rented house or apartment, it's a lot easier to have a parent, siblings, friend, or romantic partner stay overnight without causing much commotion to the rest of the household. A guest sleeping on the couch and making a little bit of a mess of the living room for one weekend is not the end of the world, but it can get out of hand quickly if they overstay their welcome or take things that aren't theirs.

Having an overnight guest in a college dorm room is a whole other can of worms. I'd be comfortable with a total rando sleeping in my roommate's bedroom, but having them sleep in the bed right next to me in a dorm is potentially dangerous. It's already annoying enough having to share your bedroom with a complete stranger, but having to put up with their boyfriend or girlfriend sleeping over every single night without fail is not what you signed up for when you asked for a random roommate.

This story is rather unusual, because the college student in question isn't even asking her roommate to let her boyfriend sleep over. She wants her mother to sleep in the dorm room with them the weekend she visits, which is highly unusual. It's not even that she can't afford a hotel room: the mother has a hotel room, and would rather sleep in the college dormitory in her daughter's Twin XL bed with her.
Am I the bad guy for telling my roommate she can’t bring her mom around anymore?
