[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again.  I saw a lot of new comments, so am responding to some of the repeat ones.

- I’m not sockpuppeting, feel free to report the post so a mod can tell you that I’m not.  Plus, I don’t have time to sockpuppet!  I should be packing lol

- I’m the bio mom to both my kids!  I think some people are reading too much into my wanting to give DD one of the smaller bedrooms.  Some of you suggest I’m a cruel stepmom, jealous(?!?) of DD.  First, I’m happy to make one of the smaller rooms into her dream bedroom, that sounds like a fun project we can do together.  Also, I’m not sure how or why I would be jealous of DD?  Maybe some people think that DH prefer her and I’m jealous of that??  Um nope.

- Some of you said a second floor playroom would get limited use, but our house is single story (except the master suite).  Since we’d have guests over only occasionally, we’d put a bed in there only at those times (we have a really lightweight queen frame & memory foam mattress), but otherwise, it would have my kids’ stuff in there.  I think for now, it’d be more toys (DD and her friends still play with toys), Nugget sofa & other seating, and as they get older, whatever they like to do with their friends, maybe a TV & game console?

- I think I also read that it was wrong of me to let DD see the girly built-ins then rip her dream away from her, but they are built-ins and our kids came with us to see the house, so how was I supposed to hide them from her?

Anyway, I think for now, the key thing is 1. for me and DH to be united in what we tell DD, and even if we are open to giving her the bigger bedroom in the future, we not tell her so as to manage her expectations and 2. focus on the positive, i.e., DD can redo the smaller bedroom however she likes.

Off to pack!
