in not moving dd out of her room for guests?

We moved countries 2 months ago and dd started nursery 3 weeks ago. Since then her sleeping has been all over the place and it is hard getting her settled at night. This is obviously because there have been quite a few changes.

Anyway, we live in a 3 bedroom apartment and next week SIL and kids (7 and 9 yrs old) are coming for 2 weeks. SIL will be sleeping in the guest room and dh has suggested that we move our dd into our bedroom for 2 weeks and let SIL kids sleep in there.

I am not too thrilled about this. Considering that dd is having problems settling down I really don't think it is a good idea to move her out of her room, otherwise it is just going to take ages for her to settle back again when she returns to her room.

The guest room is big enough to add a blow-up bed in there for SIL and kids to sleep in there.

What do you all think?

I was perpetually moved out of my room to accommodate guests as a kid. Let's you know where you stand in the scheme of things. I wouldn't do it to my own.

Why can't the cousins sleep on the blow up bed in your daughter's room?

I agree that in this particular circ you shouldn't move your DD (or ask her to share with cousins - asking for trouble).

Explain to SIL the particular issues (because normally DD sharing with you would be a no-brainer) and give her the choice of sharing with her DCs or sleeping in the front room.
