Not enough bedrooms - who should share?

[meltedmarsbars]

Currently dd1 (10 and nearing puberty) and ds (9) share - but do not enjoy sharing.

dd2 (severely disabled, hoist track, hospital bed, night pump...) has own room.

What should I do? We rent. I really don't want to move... do I have to?

not the same situation here but similar. I have 2 dd's both with sn, both with sleep problems, we live in a 3 bed house, the dd's cant share because they would wake each other and not enough room for 2 beds (dd1 has low muscle tone so could not climb a bunk bed and dd2 has no sense of danger and would jump off the top). Dd2 sleeps in the sitting room and i sleep on the sofa (so i can get up with dd2), dh sleeps upstairs so he gets up with dd1.

We rent but we are on the council list, we don't want to move out of the village and there are very few council houses in our village so we are stuck.

Awful, isn't it?

I am getting towards this situation - DD1 has melatonin for sleep, and wakes each night anyway. But DD2 wakes quite easily, and can be a bit 'eager' with DD3. DD3 will need to move out of our room soon, as she is already 9 months old.

The whole situation is making life pretty sh*t really. To start off with i didn't want to move but now i would leave tomorrow if we could find a 3 bed near by. I'm fed up of sleeping on a sofa and fed up with dd2 not being able to have her own space which she so needs.

Dd2 is on melatonin but still wakes in the night, dd1 has night terrors and wakes in the night.

I dream of a new house where we can all be happy but i don't want to move dd1 from her school, the stress of moving house will be bad enough for her.
