Teenage logic

That's very heartwarming and sweet of you to try to make her comfortable and included in your office space by getting her a desk also to do her work at just like for yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if you let her pick out exactly what she wanted too!

Too bad kids are so hard to predict. Even she might not have been able to predict that she wouldn't be sitting there doing her homework either.🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe she'll still want to use it in a few years either for homework or workspace for something else.

Silver lining: At least she's doing her homework :)

If I had a proper desk and chair at home, it would go more unused then not.
I have always preferred floor sitting over chairs my whole life out of comfort and habit.

Even as an adult, I like my desk and chair at work. And feel comfortable sitting there.

But at home, no thank you
I'll sit on chairs and couches at other people's houses but at home...nope. I like the floor best. For years my sofa in my apartment was mostly used by roommates and guests.

My preferred "working on homework" position was lying on the floor or bed or sitting on the floor with. Back against a wall or piece of furniture. When I was a kid, I preferred to be either wherever people commonly were (so I could keep an eye on everyone and know what was going on) or as far away as I could get.

For 4 years or so, I often used a lap desk. My grandmother (during a short visit) once showed my little brother and I how to make a lapdesk out of an old wooden board, an old shirt , some hot glue, and a big bag of rice dumped in the shirt as the cushion under it. This was the solution to the problem of the mysterious small ink spot on the carpet.

Perhaps your daughter might like a lap desk, if she likes to do homework in multiple places?
More likely than not, you're stuck with her doing her homework however and wherever. Just have to keep an eye out to prevent any problems as best you can that might happen from using non typical spaces as a workspace. Teenagers are at least as accidently destructive as young kids if not more, I imagine.

They also sit on chairs with their backs on the seat and their legs up on the seat back.

You asked for an explanation for a teen's behavior? Wow, you're bold.

Hilarious!

Similar story! Reminds me of when I bought matching desks and chairs from ikea for my 3 boys to do their homework. Not one of them ever used their desk for homework. Decoration only

Wait until she goes to college and discovers the beanbag. 🤣

Are you surprised? I'm nearly twice as old as you but I still remember being a teenager, I'm sure you do too!

[b] Awwwwww! 💖💖💖 [/b] [c=003BB2] Take a photo of her homework stuck to the sheepskin rug incase her geography teacher doesn't believe her! 🤗🤗🤗 Doing homework elsewhere instead of a chair sounds awesome as I did that kind of thing too when I did my homework! 😁😁😁 [/c]

No surprises about the contrariness of teenagers lol 🤣

Maybe I'm a weird teen, I have always loved having my own desk and chair.

Teenagers. I wish I knew as much as them!

Desks are for school, ick. 😁

Doesn't ever change from age to age.

I remember social studies my senior year of high school, '88/'89, we had beanbags and oversize body pillows instead of desks and chairs, she wanted us comfortable to learn.
