Bedroom allocation 😒

Situation is this:

Selling both houses. Buying one. 4 bedrooms. DS8 and DS12 with us full time bar every other weekend. DSS11 and DSS13 with us 50%. DSS's have their own room when with Mum. DS's sleep on the floor at their DF's.

How would you allocate bedrooms??

Bloody hell Lunar

OP has just said they've all discussed and the older DS and DSS will share as in the same school year which they're really happy about. No favouritism in the decision at all.

The kids are happy. Let them all have their lives together without such negativity.

Hope it works for you OP X

Id go for the 5 bed if you can stretch to it. Extensions a shit load of money and if you can add that to the purchase price now you'll get a ready made house big enough for everyone.

Thanks wheres and twos.

Yes I do know what it's like actually Lunar as I did the very same when I was younger.

As I said in my previous post we have discussed it and everyone is happy. We have made that decision after reading these suggestions so hadn't 'made my mind up anyway'.

Thanks everyone for the positive suggestions. It's not so hearts and flowers second time around is it? 😊

We have talked about it and DS12 AND DS13 will share being in the same school year and they get on really well. DS11 and DS8 will have their own rooms. IF we go for the 4 bed, then we will extend in a couple of years.
Here you go, all sorted discussing it. What do people always have to make things more complicated than needs be just because they put their own principle above anything else.

So many conflicts that can be avoided by concentrating on what works rather than what is fair/right.

Glad it's sorted and all are happy.

I never understand these threads...
You take the master bedroom
The children who don't live with you f-t share the next biggest room
The children who live with you f-t have the other two rooms.
No one is worse off. No one is being treated unfairly. Everyone has their own room in the house where that spend most of their time.
I shared a room with my sister all my life and my other sister always had her own room. It did me no harm whatsoever she respected my space and I respected hers there were consequences when we didn't respect the other.

Just read that it's sorted - good stuff!

Don't worry lunar obviously has some step family issues which she projects all over the step parenting board. Step mums are never in the right with her.
