OMG THE BEDROOM SAGA WENT SO MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED...PITY BM IS A C*NT!
So last night OH was all excited cos SD7 is so excited at having a new brother etc.....I asked casually....."will SD7 be ok about losing her bedroom here?"...OH with normal conversational gap, nothing strained replied "Yes, she will be fine"...I asked if he was sure and he was adamant that SD7 would be ok.....so in my head im a little like Oh ok then!!
Anyway, later on the evening (he was working last night) he calls me up, and tells me that BM has been in touch, and has said that "they need to talk about the kids"....AGAIN......OH texts back and says why, are they all OK,......BM replies that SD7 is "extremely upset at the moment"...when I asked OH why she was suddenly all upset, all he replied with was "whats happening with the bedrooms, how is it all going to work?".....so, I took the bull by the horns;
I stated that " SD7 will have to sleep in my BD7's bedroom. SD7 will not have her bed in there, as at the end of the day, BD7 is there 24/7 and another bed takes up top much space for her alone, let alone with them both together, so Bunk beds will need to be gotten. SD7 will need to sort put her toys, as they cant all go in BD7's bedroom".....I then held my breath and waited for the onslaught I felt was due.....AND DIDNT GET ON! OH actually juts said "OK then, sounds like its the easiest way"...W...T...F...
However my suspicions have been raised about why SD7 is suddenly so upset, and that when I asked why the conversation was turned to the bedrooms.....I suspect that either SD7 has finally figured out that a baby brother means no room at mine anymore, or if the b*tch of a BM or little Sh*ts of SS's have been winding her up!
Im hoping to find out later as MIL has SD7 tonight overnight, so we will know later on or tomorrow afternoon.
My other issue that came up last night is for another blog...but regards to this one on the bedrooms...YOU GUYS ROCK THE HOUSE FOR ADVISE AND SUPPORT....YOU HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT!!

SD7 with us once a night
SD7 with us once a night every weekend, she is with MIL on the other night of the weekend. She was given a room because at the time, she ahd her bed in my BD7's room and you literally couldnt swing a cat in there, so I used the excuse that SS's didnt even visit lt alone sleepover and SD7 was living with her nan at the time and was sharing a room and bed with her nan.
Thanks both...its such a
Thanks both...its such a relief that this is sorted out!!
Re BM; she feels she should know info and will "protect" her kids when she wants some sort of high ground or argument, cos thats what she is like. If Im honest, I genuinely dont care! Im in my bubble and that is where I am staying! lol
MIL is collecting SD7 tonight, so we wont see her until tomorrow afternoon, but Im sure we will know whats apparently upsetting her either later on or tomorrow when she is bought to us.
I agree with outtahere...adults should be leaving SD7 to adapt to the new situation, as someone else said on another blog, it should be made a fun thing, not made into a big deal. If SD7 is constantly wrapped in bubblewrap then this will be a constant thing with her, and Im not willing to put up with that. Trouble is, that what will happen so Im going to have to be harsh with OH and teach SD7 myself really.
In all of this, nobody, apart from me, has considered the impact that my BD7 will have by suddenly having to share a room......but then there is no need, Im a mother and a mom, so my daughter has been prepared and talked too already and is fully prepared for the change!
Its always the same
Its always the same outtahere.....ive got another issue on another blog where my BD isnt considered yet again......yet if I bring it up my reply from OH is always the same "shes young, she will adapt"...yet apparently SD doesnt come in the same category!
When my DD was born last May,
When my DD was born last May, she got SD's room and SD had to move into the basement. SD only comes EOWE so like you, I agree that the kids who live in the house full time should get the better rooms. And obviously in our case, the baby needed to be upstairs near us. SD was 5 at the time, and actually adjusted fairly well but her BM encouraged her to think that we were mean because we took her room away from her. BM actually brough her lawyer into it eventually, along with a bunch of other petty crap.
