[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughters share, but he gets two? Tell him to pick or understand that one room will still be common space.[/quote]

If there are only 3 bedrooms upstairs (& 3 kids), it makes sense that the daughters share since they are the same sex. Even if there is a fourth child who is a boy, unless he is also from DH's previous marriage, the two boys (OP's stepson & son) are almost certainly much farther apart in age than the girls so, again, it more makes more sense for the two girls to share if there aren't enough bedrooms upstairs for each kid to have his or her own.

But, yeah, a kid who already has his own room taking over an entire other room is excessive. The OP & her DH (or just get DH) need to tell him that he needs to chose whether he wants to have the basement or his current room as his private space because he can't have both.After all, presuming there are only 2 other kids in the house (the girls who share a bedroom), even if he never uses the playroom & doesn't have any of his stuff in it (which is likely given his age) & his siblings do, the stepson will still lay claim to as much of the house as they do either way (one entire bedroom/basement vs one shared bedroom & one shared playroom) so I can't see any valid argument he could make as to why he should get sole use of both his current bedroom & the basement.[/quote]
