I'm aware this is a rant but I am livid.
Three step kids here aprox 50% of time we are in a small house and are looking to move into something much bigger next year once we have saved up. Youngest two, one female and one male, sleep in bunk beds and eldest in the single bed as he goes to bed later and dosnt disturb younger two this way.
Other half comes back from ex wife's with kids and annonces youngest child (f) is now having the single bed. Apparently she was upset and his ex wife said this had to be changed to accomadate her and she was threatening not to go to daddy's else. I wasn't consulted.
Eldest seemed upset and over dinner said something about being upset as it was his bed. Turns out he wasn't asked either if it was ok and its his bed - always has been. There been no issues previously and these sleeping arrangements have always been this way. Ex wife was messaged to say he was upset and response was 'he will get over it'.
I'm livid on his behalf and over fact it wasn't discussed with me. It's completely unfair on him and stinks of favoratism. I probbaly didn't help as I said it was a trial and if everyone wasn't happy it would go back, and I meant it.
My other half can't understand why I'm so angry both on my own and his sons behalf!
I understand that arrangments are not ideal but it's only for a short while as we are moving early next year. I'm also concerned about a young child being allowed to dictate at the detriment of their siblings needs.
