Hello everyone, I just want some advice, I have a 5 year old son, 7 year old daughter and 11 year old step son pregnant with another little boy , weve hady step son since he was 5 so he's always classed as my son also. We've recently changed bedrooms two youngest daughter and son have always shared a room , my dd has just turned 7 the council have said both boys need to share as there coming to inspect how small the rooms are to change our needs to bid for a 4 bed instead of 3 which we currently have, I liked my 2 youngest sharing personally. My eldest is very quiet but his behavior has changed massively since highschool , a lot of school calls for behavior etc which is never like him he just doesn't listen and now he certainly doesn't listen to me either, since changing him to share with his brother he's messing up the routines I has with the youngest 2 , ds 5 would be asleep by 8pm school night once the fan sounds are on, eldest goes to sleep at 8.30 due to him being up early to travel to high school , and he will lay in bed and stair at the ceiling till about 11pm he won't try close his eyes or anything , this meaning he's doing silly things in the bunk bed that's waking the youngest up , no matter how much you tell him he continues. I really regret my youngest sharing with him but I don't know what else to do the rooms are tiny I was even considering bringing him in my room with his dad and me but I've got a baby coming in 4 weeks too:/ any suggestions ?

@ThisLoftyLilacShark stop Pressuming I cannot afford to "house my children" in this day there's a cost of living crisis me and my partner work I'm on maternity leave at the moment our jobs pay enough to pay our current rent at the moment which isn't cheap. We was looking to move so we can rent to buy we're both 27. But to do that we have to be assessed for the right amount of bedrooms I'm not going to rent to buy something too small in the future am I? My house was fine bedroom wise I fell pregnant while on protection even though I shouldn't be explaining a thing to you. I'm heavily Catholic and don't believe In getting rid of a child I was given too by god if anyone else did that's there opinion I don't judge but I just don't do it my self personally . There for yes things happen but I only asked what other people's opinion on what they've done with there children. Which most people have explained and helped! You on the other hand have done nothing but be a stuck up cow with a racist back ground as I can tell.

How do you have an 11 year old if you are both 27? And how do you have two 5 year olds?

should stop having children that you can’t pay to house, especially if you aren’t from here
for the record, people who havent said racist things dont have to state they are not racist.

caringcarer · 22/04/2024 00:20

Why are people being so mean to OP? She just came on to ask for advice, not judgement.

Dear god is this the time to ask how babies are made? Really?

reynold · 22/04/2024 00:22

reynold · 22/04/2024 00:26

@ThisLoftyLilacShark yet again. I have stated I'm born and raised in the uk. I'm British.. and your Pressuming otherwise for no apparent reason to be honest. You know nothing about me and you're treating me like I shouldn't be in this country and I'm on benefits and can't afford the massive amount of kids I have.. it's weird.

You seem nice 😂

The 11 year old is her stepson who she took on as her own child at the age of 5.

You need to get a grip, I have a masters degree from a top university and still have shit spelling and grammar on here…because it’s the internet not a formal piece of writing, seriously who cares!

And for the record yes, you are racist. You assumed OP ‘wasn’t from here’ and proceeded to say she therefore didn’t have a right to adequate housing. That my friend is racism.

Also as OP keeps saying she isn’t complaining, she’s happy with the living arrangements she is asking for advice.

why don’t you get some sleep and see if you wake up in a better mood than to have to bully people online 🙄

The OP was not well written. People make spelling mistakes which is something else entirely. I specified that I’m not a racist because I was being called one, not because I was being racist. I wonder why you are so angry about the things I’ve written, are you afraid because they are true?

reynold · 22/04/2024 00:29

@ThisLoftyLilacShark I'm actually concerned of your age. If your a grown women and you've made up all this just from me
Asking advice on bedroom arrangements is really showing you have too much time on your hands. How's it gone from advice to being from
The uk, can't afford my kids, don't deserve them, cant afford housing and shouldn't entitled to more than the rest .. I never asked that I just asked sleeping arrangement opinions..😬

That’s pretty much what I said. I hope you never need any support because believe me circumstances can change in an instant.

Anyway I’m bored of you repeating the same points. Good night.

You can try that OP. I’m sure there are beds that fold back into the wall to make space when not needed. Not sure if that will be more expensive though. A sofa bed can double up as a couch too.
