i have 4 dc.....4 bedrooms so 2 have to share.
our baby is not legally ours yet (adopted) so must be in a separate bedroom.
2 older ones share. toddler own room. baby own room.
i wake every morning to the older ones arguing, fighting, screaming, chucking things around - it is a horrible way to wake up.
it is driving me insane - before the babe everyone had their own room and morning were more pleasant!
can you help me think outside the box - once babe is legally ours who should go where?
older 2 are one gender, younger 2 are one gender. (so 2 of each - older ones are upper primary/starting secondary, younger 2 age under 3)
i'm afraid toddler will try to pick baby out of cot so they shouldn't share.
older 2 are fighting too much and i think need their space.
we have tried toddler and youngest older 1, but the gender difference worried us a little as time went on.
we think a room divider for the olders won't work as lots of running in and out of rooms even when they were in separate rooms - but maybe would work for the little ones? a partition wall could be built in the biggest room
we know we need a 5 bed house and are waiting till younger older one also starts secondary to make the move - it would be too hard to get to our primary otherwise.
anyone solved this problem or have any ideas i've not thought of?
AIBU?
to need to split them up?
