[quote=Anonymous]The little boys get the big room.

Daughter and step son each get their OWN room.  Because they are older.  Because one is a boy and one is a girl (thank goodness your youngest isn't a girl!)

They won't be SHARING a bathroom, ever, now that they are older.  They will be TAKING TURNS with a bathroom. Put a lock on it (up high so the 4 and 1 year olds can't lock themselves into the room) and be done with it.  Teach respect.  Tampons and pads will be stored in the bathroom drawers eventually, and that's a great thing so both boys and girls can get used to them.

I don't share a bathroom with my husband, I take turns.

And NO BOY should be peeing without lifting the lid, or leaving drips of pee everywhere - so yucky!  Please teach your boys by 4 or 5 to be well mannered in the bathroom - their future friends, roommates, partners, and house guests will thank you.

PS:  Our rule in our home is "all lids are down" when you leave the bathroom because kittens can drown in that little amount of water if they jump up and slip.   They can't get out, so our house rule is lids down, all the time.  And that solves the 'females fall in the toilet because males leave the lid up' which is a huge PITA.  Don't be that boy/man.

And while we don't always have kittens in our house, we sometimes do, so the rule is the same for all times.  [/quote]
