[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You both are selfish. You should have waited till you married and together bought a large enough house to have the kids have their own room. You don't need a guest room. Get a full sized bed in your child's room and your child can sleep in your room or the play room when you have guests.[/quote] You do realize that not every child always gets their own room---right? It even happens when all children are the products of the same parents who are still married. Sometimes you just have to share.[/quote] The step kids aren’t even siblings though. How would you like to share a room with a stranger when you were an 11 year old girl. Don’t move in together. [/quote] They are half siblings with two different moms being raised in two different homes visiting Dad. One has more visitation with Dad than the other one does. OP doesn't have the space if she wants a playroom for her child and a guest room. She has three bedrooms and a bonus room. How is this even an issue? Girls get at least a shared bedroom.[/quote] OP here. PP is correct that the older two are half siblings. They are not strangers, are good friends, FaceTime a few times a week, make big plans for when they’re together. To be clear, I don’t need a dedicated guest room. I’m just considering all the factors that play into who goes where. I have no issue booting my kid from their room for a few nights when my brother wants to visit, but I am considering where kid goes and what furniture would be able to work for a visiting adult (reason why I’m skipping a twin and going to a full/Queen). Due to the layout of the house, I’m not comfortable putting any of the kids in the bonus room and it’s really not a great bedroom option in general. [/quote] This house makes absolutely no sense. You can use the bonus room as your bedroom and add a bathroom if necessary. Then, you get camera's to keep track of the kids. Having a guest room with 3 kids and a three bedroom makes no sense. It makes no sense to have a dedicated guest room for your brother. He can sleep in your son's room or you get an air mattress, pull out sofa or murphy bed for the bonus room. It really isn't that complicated. Girls in one room with twins or bunk beds. Your son in a room with a full bed. And, later you take the bonus room so your future child can have a room if the child is not a boy and can share with your son. But, again, this house makes absolutely no sense as you clearly didn't think this through when you bought the house. You really need a different house set up.[/quote]
