When I found out I was pregnant, I moved out of my room and 2 stories below into the basement bedroom so my baby girl wouldn't be cold and I didn't have to worry about bugs getting to her. My dad and little brother recently moved to California because my dad had no job opportunities here in Colorado but we will be joining him in July of 2011. My dad had said that OH and I could have the master bedroom across the hall from my old bedroom so we wouldn't have to walk up 2 flights of stairs in the middle of the night. My mom has health problems and can't walk up stairs easily so she stays in the only bedroom on the main floor. But I was very grateful and accepted my dad's offer.
But now everything has flipped. My mom says that OH and I can not take the master bedroom because we will "move things around" and "throw things away". Which is not entirely true, but yes, she's a hoarder and we try and clean as much as possible when she's gone. So we have come up with another solution. We now have an empty bedroom because my brother is gone and my mom, OH and I have asked my 16 year old sister to kindly move into this bedroom. It's right next door to her bedroom and the room is even purple, which matches the theme of her room!
But she has rudely said no. She says that, "The room doesn't get enough sunlight", which is slightly true. It's on the north side of the house and the sun doesn't get to that side until very, very late in the evening. BUT she has her curtains and sun blocking shades closed ALL THE TIME. Her bedroom, which actually used to be MY bedroom until my older brother moved out is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the nursery. She's already complaining about how LO will wake her up in the middle of the night. If she's TWO rooms away, this won't be as much of a problem! My mom also offered her the basement bedroom, which has a huge TV screen, cable, and it's own bathroom and again, she rudely says no! Stating that the basement bedroom is "too cold". Which it is, but I bought a portable heater! Which warms the bedroom side just fine!
I really need this and she doesn't understand how much I would appreciate it. So am I asking too much of her? Am I being too selfish? Sorry this is so long, just need some advice and input. I'm just really frustrated. How can I try and convince her?
