Or he just doesn't agree with her? It's also possible he never really got along with his parents and this is just another thing he has to put up with. That's really a stretch to say he is punishing her because he is mad at something else.
Where did the OP say that the son asked if they could sleep over?
Her third and last post. Since she hasn't seen him much over the past two years, and she recently learned he would be in town for the 4th of July weekend without much time to spend with her, she asked him to stay at her house this Christmas so she can see more of him. He told her, "I want to share a room with my girlfriend." Her response was, "No!" His response was, "Then that's my answer too."
I'm a big proponent of "my house, my rules." 100%. The only people you have any leverage over, though, are those who actually live there. The OP is perfectly within her rights to forbid their sleeping together in her home. They are equally within their rights to sleep somewhere else.
Well, you may applaud her but she came here trying to figure out how to fix things so she can see her son more often.
So I don't think that limited time thing is working so well for her . . .
So basically, if the son stated that he wanted his three shack-up honeys to be able to sleep in the same room under his parents roof then the mom should give into his desires because otherwise it would be disrespectful to his freedom/choices as an adult? So the son is justified in holding the mom hostage to whatever situation he wants to bring to her doorstep? Nope, I am glad that this women stood firm.

You need to understand who makes the rules and why we follow them. We are all responsible for our own actions. Unmarried couples spending the night together in ones home is the responsibility of the homeowner. Is it really going to kill them to respect the rules of her home? They are acting like brats. I have absolutely no doubt they will end up regretting it.
