Should I give them their own room

Ds asked for his own room a few months back I said no incase adult ds came back home . But actually he's been left home for 18 months now. So I think maybe I Need to tell myself adult ds is settled.

So now I'm thinking maybe I should let him . It seems silly to have an empty room.

I'm not having a go at you by the way. It's just what your actions seem to suggest.

Not really everyone does things differently. I worry about my son. I was worried things could go wrong for him. Especially in the recent past. Where he was very stressed due to his work abd thought about giving it up. He would have had ti come back home.

Other parents are different and say your an adult now you need to find your own way. There are posts in this thread that say the bedroom was given over pretty quickly. I would not want to do it so quickly. But i also would not have little digs at people who have .

I get worrying about older kids. No matter how they are, they are our babies.

I have older lads myself. But the ones living in the house have to take priority and if the older one came home he'd have to fit in where he could.

OP you asked a question politely and it is a shame not everyone can answer you nicely. If it were me I would let the remaining children have their own room. I would make it clear to your older son that he always has a place at home should he need it.

I would let your son at home have the room. You can do this at the same time as assuring your adult ds he can come home if he needs to.

That's MN for you I guess.

I'm going to do it in the summer holidays
