I came here to see if there was any other threads on bedroom arrangement issues - the previous one got loads of feedback, but our situation is quite different so hopefully you guys can help here too!
Me and DH together for ages, married for 9 years. We live with my DSS16, DSD13 (they are siblings from DHs previous relationship) and our DD4 in a three bed house. The third bedroom is tiny though, hardly big enough for two beds.
DSS16 lives here full time, he sees his mum only v. occasionally and hardly ever overnight - he has the second biggest room. DD4 also obviously here all the time - she's in the box room.
DSD13 was staying only two nights a week so we put her in with our DD in the box room on a pull out bed - not ideal but the best arrangement we could come up with. It now looks like she will be here 4/5 nights a week and I don't think it's fair on either her or my DD for them to be sharing the box room anymore. What do we do?
I had thought to move the two girls into the second biggest bedroom, but DSD is still seeing her mum overnight so that means when DSD is away my DD has the big room to herself and DSD is cramped into the box room...
Extra info for anyone who is interested: we live in a council house so I wonder if we could apply for somewhere bigger - obviously not a priority for them though! DSD suggested she could share the big room with her brother. Me and my partner don't think siblings aged 16 and 13 of different genders should be sharing a room, DSS wasn't keen either. I know the council says you shouldn't do this, but they also say the box room isn't big enough for two people. It wasn't an issue when we moved in as DSD wasn't with us that often, but now I'm really stuck.
