humph!
We have been thinking of moving, and having a nother baby in a few months. So this has been causing aurgments with DH. I figured we could get a three bedroom house and use on room for DD on room for new (hopefully) baby. no way we can afford a 4 bedroom. then set up SS almost 8 in the basment as long as it's devopet. When i wasd a kid i always wanted my own space and ussally got the basment. i thought it was cool. But DH says no that bio kids can share a room and SS can have a room all to him self. i would set up the basment really good. like my folks did. using room dividers for walls, a nice throw rug and stuff like that. I don't agree with kids sharing rooms if it can be avoided.
We are planning this in the new year.
i always wanted 2 kids. DH knew that. and i want to give my kids everything i can. i want to do the same for ss, but it's not the same. i can't help but feel closer my DD than SS.
I just find that often Skids get so much, two rooms, two birthdays, two of everything. i just don't see why a room should just sit there durning the week when it can be used.
I don't know rereading this i feel guilty.

what if you have a boy?
Your daughter is supposed to share a room with her brother? That's dumb.
My boys shared a room, no big deal. Maybe have it depend on what this new baby's sex is....if it's a boy could he share with SS? That way you wouldn't have an empty room all week....only shared on the weekend.

are you pregnant?
I always try to plan everything out way in advance instead of taking each step at a time. If you aren't pregnant yet, how about using the rooms available for the kids you have. When you get pregnant, and have a baby reevaluate what you need. Life changes so much so fast. What we think we need now changes in time too.
My step sons
used to each have their own room. When the baby was born they moved in together & the baby got the youngest's room. We had discussed this with them before hand when we were trying to get pregnant. They were both cool with this as they shared a room at moms. We have 3 BR she has 4. When they moved in together at our house she turned the playroom into the youngest's room so now they each have their own room at her house. Good for them, although it was a huge coinsidence. With our house we have 1 bedroom on the main level & two upstairs. It only made sense. They sleep there 4 nights a month during the school year the baby will be there everynight for the next 18 years.
Chaulk it up to parenting by guilt.
