That got me rolling… I’m afraid to ask and find out that 83 is some new 67.

The “p.s. dad do not build me a bed” at the bottom is the icing on the cake.

Challenging Dad not to build something. Bold move.

Sooo cute. I like how “bunk beds are more of a 2-8 thing and I’m 9.” Also is dad a terrible builder 😅? “I like the idea of a new bed” is a good reason too 💓

She wants a girly, princess bed. Cutest thing ever.

Seriously dad no I want a real bed.

One of my core memories of my daughter is her getting frustrated while playing with toys. She was around 3 or 4 i think. She stands up and she’s starting to cry, looks at us and says “im grouchy, I need a nap! I think im going to lay down to feel better!” And she waddled off to her room and put herself down for a nap.
I laughed so hard I thought she would hear me and come back out yelling lol

Not going to lie, this kind of stuff would work on me if I had a kid.
It’s one thing to ask for something, it’s an entire other thing to list out an entire supporting argument.

“PS: Dad, don’t build me a bed. Buy one that actually works instead.”
I feel seen. I feel heard.

Damn what did dad build previously 🤣

Can’t say no to a kid as practical as wanting a bed and not a nonsense toy

Polite but direct, clearly stating the goal up front, providing bulleted list of reasons, anticipating and responding to potential counter-arguments, this is far superior to the typical requests I see at work from adults.

What I’ve learned from decades working for companies is that it’s amazing what you can get if you just fill out the paperwork.

That PS at the end tells me Dad likes to think he is a carpenter but daughter is calling BS. Gave me a good chuckle.

After reading this I am so glad that my teenager asked specifically for a bunk bed and was happy that I built it for him.

Fyi, Everyone freaking loves your niece in case you didn’t know that! 🤣

When my two brothers outgrew their shared room, my dad converted their (wooden) bunk beds into two separate “new” beds.
OP, your niece has just issued her dad a challenge he simply can’t walk away from.

If she didn’t get a new bed, her parents are monsters.

She’s valid for asking that Dad not build her a bed. My dad is a carpenter and I asked him to build me a “low to the ground, cool bed with drawers underneath”. I was expecting something like….a lower down bed with like one row of 8 inch deep drawers on each side on metal rollers I’d store private girly stuff. I showed him pictures.
*headdesk*
What I *GOT* was a 3.5 foot tall behemoth that weighed almost 400 pounds made of solid oak with six 12 inch deep drawers on each side that were not on metal rollers but instead just pull out, wood on wood like the old time dressers.
It was so massive he had to bring it into the house without the drawers in, in two halves, bolt it together, bolt on the headboard he’d made, then place a piece of plywood on top to form the platform for my mattress.
It was so tall, we couldn’t use my box spring anymore. Lol. And so big that my dresser couldn’t fit in the room so my private girly drawers immediately got filled with clothes.
Carpenter dads tend to…over build.

I imagine her dad half way through building a new bed frame and reads this all sad and then walks out into the woods I mean buys her a new bed

This is funny. Years ago my child had an assignment to write an argument letter to us and argued for bunk beds.

Put in for a new bed for Christmas for her OP. Get the family involved. Better one big gift she will love and use daily than a bunch of landfill

She is four and writing in sentences like this?

Hilarious. I wonder where she got her statistics.

Dad likes the idea of a family that appreciates what he does for them. Turns out we don’t always get what we want.
I assume not a lot of family money if he tends to build things. Probably all after a 60hour work week. I’m probably wrong.
Braced for the downvotes.

I built my oldest daughter a loft bed and now that my younger daughter is old enough it has become a bunk bed. I read the bottom line and feel like I have been stabbed in the chest. Lol. Oldest is only 7 though so I guess we can keep it for 1 more year.
