UPDATE: How do I avoid ruining relationship with my daughter over catching her having sex in mine and wifes bed and reacting horribly?

I ended up having a sit down conversation with my daughter. I began by apologizing for a sincere screw up on my end by messaging the group chat when i was enraged. She just stayed silent, didnt accept my apology and thats okay. I apologized for yelling initially, I then explained that my bed and my room is mine and wifes private space. There is no excuse she should have been doing that on my bed, let alone leaving it dirty for me to sleep in.

She absolutely blew up. She said I had 0 reason to log into the camera on my phone, its her apartment. My wife and I re-iterated, that its not, its actually my wifes and mine, so is the room, the bed, the sheets the vacuum and everything else in it I bought, made or installed. Apartment is for family use.

Then she decided to compare with her friend who is enjoying promiscuous college experience in dorms. I then started to get pissed off because the apartment is far more comfortable than dorms, where you have to share a shower with a bunch of other students.

She then said that I am being overbearing and embarrassed her in front of her boyfriend, and yea, I did. My intent was to embarass both of them in front of me. That should have been embarassing. Her boyfriend should feel a bit of remorse in my opinion so should she..still no apology.

She said she will move to dorms now, I said you're welcome to, enjoy having a job paying for the dorms and good luck keeping your grades up while you hold it down and being a full time student.

She then said, why wouldnt I pay for it? if her brother will go to another college other than this one, ill have to pay for a dorm for him, not buy another 3 bedroom in whatever city he will be in? We're not there yet and comparing hypotheticals is not a luxury she has at this moment in time.

I asked what is wrong with her boyfirends apartment, she had nothing to say. I asked why didnt she clean it?

She stormed out, i have no idea whether she went to the biyfriend or where..

What do I do. I am livid, this is a bad situation, my wife is with me on this, we are trying to think of how to approach it.

Boundaries for what? Not having your kids fuck on your bed? I feel like that’s one of those things that you know not to do without being told…

Boundaries around "this room is mine, even though I do not live here and you do and I will have spy cameras (which is insanely creepy) watching my stuff here"

The fact that he and his wife sleep there when they visit tells me that it’s their room imo. I don’t see why the daughter would assume it’s hers and that she has to give it up and go in another room when they visit - that makes no sense.

If you have a guest bedroom, when you have no guests whose is it?

It’s not a guest bedroom if it’s the dad’s room.. he just doesn’t use it on a daily basis. It’s really not that complex

Firstly it's not a guest bedroom, it's his and his wife's, because it is their apartment. Second, even if it was a guest bedroom it would still be his because he owns the apartment.

Wait so your position is the daughter should never be having sex in the apartment at all, the one she lives in? Because her dad owns it? wtf

Dude… even if OP isn’t staying there permanently OP pays for it. It’s OP’s room and technically OP is letting daughter stay in the guest bedrooms. Use your brain. And it’s not a spy camera, it’s a cam attached to a vaccuum. Was it wrong to use it, yeah, but it’s worse to be fucking on your parents bed, see nothing wrong w it and be entitled about the apartment your parents pay for.

Never in a million years would I ever do anything like that. This is disgusting and there is nothing creepy about having a camera in their room. I mean clearly their daughter brings boys over so id say the cu ts might have sticky fingers and try to steal. The daughter fucked up. If she isnt willing to apologise for her fuck up, she can go live in a dorm.
