So last week I was battling with my DH because he thought my 18-year-old son who just graduated high school should move out to make room for our new baby (and more specifically so SD3, who is with us 50% of the time, wouldn't have to share a room with the new baby). As I mentioned in the other blog, DS18 is not a problem teen. He respects my DH and does what he's asked without backtalk. He will start college in January and hasn't been able to find a job yet and can't support himself at this time. DH and I went back and forth on this for several days until I finally let DH know he can leave instead of DS then. He knows it was not an empty threat.

Well over the weekend, DH came to his senses. He now is okay with SD3 sharing with our new baby (who is a girl). I think his daughter's excitement over it probably helped a lot combined with the potential of him losing everything over room arrangements. We went to a few baby stores that had baby room showcases. I showed him how everything could work. Now he even likes the idea of the girls sharing until they don't want to share anymore (i.e. continue to share even after my son moves out).

Okay, so you would think it would all be a happy ending, right? Well, DH and I also talked about changing the 2nd largest bedroom into the nursery/SD3's room since all of the baby items and SD3's items (changing table, dresser, crib, another bed,toys, etc.) take up a lot of space. We thought this would be acceptable because there would be two people in that room and the teens could have the smaller rooms because they don't have to share. Well, the 2nd largest room is currently occupied by my DD16. When she found out about our plans, of course she was totally against the idea. Now she's acting like a brat and doesn't want to move to a smaller room. Ohhhh....the drama. I told them all now that if they can't get it together then the baby and I will move into the Hilton by ourselves!
