[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long is your mother (or other guests) there? I am a big believer in making your house right for 80% of the time, so even if you have visitors 20% of the time I would prioritize for yourself. I just find it off when people feel like they have to keep one room open ALL THE TIME for someone but it's rarely used while they cram their lives into the "non guest" rooms. You can always move furniture around when your mother visits.

If it were me: I would totally give your kid the nice bed. Your mother could even use the teen's room as the guestroom and your kid could sleep on a sofa bed in the used-to-be guest room when you have visiitors.[/quote]

Thanks.  This is my thinking too.  I'm just a little overwhelmed with the prospect of re-doing the whole guest room but it'll be great when it's done.  I just want to find a sleep sofa that is comfortable for both upright TV watching/phone calls and sleeping.  But it is true my mom and kid could switch rooms when she comes to visit.  She only comes maybe twice a year for 3-4 days.  We go to her more often than she comes to us. [/quote]

You are welcome. And yes, I cannot imagine making my family's sleeping situation revolve around a 1 week/year exception. That seems really off balance to me when your fmaily is always there the rest of the year.

And side note: I completely get overwhelmed w this... I suffer from anxiety so I know how it is... and at the same time there is a bit of me that thinks, wow this lady has a lucky life hat this what overwhelms her (although I have had a year from hell and experienced things no one should ever x 5). Not trying to be snarky but in case the perspective helps.
