Ok, we live in a 3 bed house, with myself and OH in the master bedroom and my DB in the second double room. I have 2 DSSs 6 and 4, they currently share the box room (big box room, bunks, wardrobe and shelf unit in there currently). I am currently 24 weeks pregnant.
The plan is for my DB to find his on place by the end of January. Who gets his room? I am having a DD and my DSSs currently live with us Saturday PM until Sunday Pm so only use their room 1 night a week unless we arrange extra over school hols etc. All toys etc. are in the living room so boys don't play in their room at the moment.
The boys have started asking if they can play in their room, so take toys/puzzles etc up with them to play. They have a town/car track type rug in their room which is pretty much all the floor space they have next to their bunk beds.
My suggestions -
1 - was for myself and OH to move into Bed 2 and then knock the wall down between Bed 1 and 3 then split the space equally with a new wall.
2 - Our loft is converted so we could put a stair case up to loft though the box room which would give another double room.
OH think Bed 2 will be too small for us and DD won't need a big room so she can have the box and the boys can have bed 2.
Sorry for long post but I'm getting there. I think having the box room for a girl who is there full time is unfair. I know we are a few years off her needing the space but I wouldn't want to keep moving the boys from one room the next., it is their home as well so want them to have a permanent room. Would love to bang my OH head against the wall until he agrees to suggest 1 or 2! Failing that am I being unfair to my DSSs or DD?
