Well, if I give him the room back, he won't need the money.

You know, I've slept like this for a really long time and haven't liked it but never contemplated spending $4k to fix it more to my liking. I more hoped that the situation would be far too temporary for something like that....in fact I would like to eliminate the room altogether and make walk in closets out of it for each of the kids, whose bedrooms are on either side of the room. He tells me I only think of myself, but he has spent only one night in there and wants to spend $4k? Hmmm.
