DD1 needs to quit being a brat.

An 11 year old does not get to call the shots.

Consider it good practice for college.


Brat?

She is going to have to get over that. Seriously. No better time than now.


She is. But, that doesn't mean her feelings are not valid. The brother gets his own room; she doesn't. It's not "fair", and it's fine to acknowledge that and try to work with it as much as possible (e.g., the room divider), but it sounds like it's temporary and it really is the only option.

Agreed, but I have a bad feeling OP is planning to give each daughter her own bedroom and force the son to make do with the dining space. Don't do it, OP!


Yes. Especially since a formal dining room is a great place for kids to do homework.

We converted our formal dining room into my bedroom. I loved it! As a consolation prize, I was the only kid allowed a tv in my room.

You've got bigger problems than sleeping arrangements. For the sake of all future roommates your DD will have, please do not ever let her have her own room. She has got to learn to sleep in the same room with other people.

Oh well. You have an 11 YO entitled child. Guess what the teen years are going to offer you?

You seriously can not come up with a solution here?

You could give each of the kids their own room and you sleep on the couch.

NP, and I agree 100%. Put the girls in the bigger room with the bathroom. You can get a wardrobe for extra closet space. This is the definition of a 1st world problem. Don't let your 11 year old rule the roost.

Huge rooms...you could even put a divider between the two girls in same room if you wanted to. I don’t see any issues. My sons share an 8 by 9 room without issue. Think it’s time yours get a lesson on compromise.

Your posts here are just as bizarre as your posts in Food Cooking and Restaurants. Why don't you add spaces after your punctuation marks? What is wrong with you?
