Help, trying to rearrange 4 bedrooms between us and 4 children!

[XboxWidow30]

Ok, we have 4 bedrooms. Currently myself and hubby in the biggest, 6 mth old son in the smallest. The two middle rooms are connected, you have to walk through one bedroom currently housing daughter of 6 yrs and son of 12 yrs and into the other bedroom with daughter of 3 yrs, no door between rooms.

SO!, the problem being. Daughter of 6 yrs often wakes up and then wakes up other daughter and son (if she can!).

Recently on holiday daughter of 3 yrs and baby slept well in a room together . Daughter of 3 yrs didn't go near baby and baby didn't wake her up if he woke in the night for any reason.

Gosh that was a long post but essentially comes down to, how can we sort them all out and all get a good nights sleep and not have all kiddies woken up in the morning by 6 yr old!

Who should have their own room more??? Arrrggh its doing my head in cos I want to get it sorted. Thanks in advance.

i would have son of 12 in smallest room- he'll be wanting/needing his own space soon enough

then I think i'd prob put 3yr old and baby sharing in the biggest room

then you and husband in the middle room and 6 yr old in the interconnecting one

not too long ago we swapped our room (the biggest) with our 2 eldest so they have more space and we can fit more toys upstairs(we lack room downstairs) and it's worked really well. we don't really need all the space and it has meant they play upstiars more

If it were me, I would but the 6yr old in the smallest room away from the others. Next your 12yrDS should have a room of his own.

The baby & 3yr could then go together (worked well on hols).

Hope that helps...works

When we started sorting bedrooms out after DC5 we did contemplate a shed in the garden!!

I would suggest that if DD (6) is not a great sleeper and wakes people up she should have seperate room where baby is currently.

Then I would put DS (12) in bedroom which does not have to be walked through so that his stuff will be safe from baby when he starts crawling and also as he moves towards teenage years he will probably sleep longest.

Then put younger two in together,this could probably work for the next four or five years and then you can review and hopefully restless DD will be a better sleeper by then.

Ooh, I've made it sound so simple, although I'm sure it isnt,hope I have been in some way helpful!!

I'd put the 12yr old in own room - needs peace and quiet, especially for homework.

I'd put 6yr old in one room and two youngest in the other. Is there anyway of putting up some sort of door so 6 year old doesn't wake others and get her waking figured out.

Thanks guys.

We were going to move from the biggest room into one of the middle rooms I think.

Also baby and 3 yr old will definately work.

Thanks for all of your help, its such a nightmare and we want to get it right first time due to all of the moving about! Lol!

Would def stick the 6yo in the littliest room, then either the 12yo in one of the middle rooms with the other two in the other, or the other two in your room, and you in one of the middle rooms.
