Im in a similar situation i have a DD 3 yrs old and DP has 2 boys 6 and 9 and both are at the age where they are looking at Jorja's little bits and stuff and being interested. Jorja has her own bedroom which is all pink and lilac and very girlie and not at all very big and Me and DP bedroom when the kids stay as they are so far away we only have them in holidays atm till we get a car. And the boys end up sleeping on a blow up bed on the floor of outr room and in Jorjas bed and stuff its awful i hate not having a bedroom for them

If your not happy for your partners son to share with your daughter for what ever reason then you are probably best to have one room for your partner and his son and one room for you and the girls, after all if the lad only stops occassionally then it will be good for him to be with his dad and your partner will have plenty of opportunity to be with you and the girls when his son goes home to his mum. At the end of the day its only to sleep.
When my sd comes she has a airbed in my daughters room but more often than not the girls go and sleep on the floor in their younger brothers room after watching a film.
If your not happy to have oh son and your daughter in the same room you can always suggest that your partner and his son sleep at his mum's.

Hi ladies i was just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation as me or can offer any advice?
oh has his son every weekend and over school holidays, (dp is still living with his mum as i have a two bedroom)
i am due to have my second baby in three weeks which is another girl (i have a little girl from my previous relationship) now because second baby is a little girl both my girls can share the same room (wen lo is ready for moving into her own room abviously lol)
now and again when oh son comes over he maybe sleeps at mine and oh takes my little girls bed with his son and my daughter ats in with me. (i have to stres it is only now and again)
but i dont think this arrangemens is going to be fair on anyone when lo is here as she will be in my room and oh will want to be there.
without getting another house i cant see any way round it (i am trying to get a three bed house)
and there is NO WAY my daughter and his son are sharing a room (i have my reasons) what should i do?




hey, we have the same problem......i have 1 ds who is nearly 3 and dp has 2 ds who are 4 and 7......atm ds sleeps in his room and my 2 ss sleep on their ready beds in the front room as we are in a flat so not too far away..... we are in process of getting bunks into my ds room but will also need another mattress on the floor. not sure how 2 boys top and tailing on top bunk would fan out but its maybe a idea....
