My mum is pregnant

[xSarahM]

Have you got the money for a loft conversion?

 

[syntaxerror]

Kick up a fuss? So would I at 15!!! lol
If my mum had told me I had to share a room with my brother I would pack my bags and leave hahaha

Haha, me too! It would've been all..."she was the one that got pregnant; she should have to live with him."

You know, if I'd had a sister that got pregnant instead of two brothers.

Do you have a dining room if so could you convert that into an extra room, I no it's not ideal but people have been known to do it including us; my brother had to sleep downstairs for 3 months after a serious motorbike accident and it worked fine. There was a bedroom for him upstairs but he had a metal guard around one of his legs and had broken his pelvis and had his splean removed so couldn't get up the stairs. Even if you had a conservatory that could work too, I hope you find a way to work things out. Congrats to both you and your mum it will be an amazing experience to share with eachother x

When I lived with my parents in their apartment, we converted the dinning room into a room and our living room into a room a different time.

I don't think it's fair at all to make your brother and sister have to share a room. They're teenagers and should have their own space. it would be different if it was sisters... but it's not.

We have a 3 bedroom house and my mom and dad share a room and then my sister has a room and my brother has a room i just sleep on my parents couch but starting this weekend we are converting the second living room in a nursery/ my bedroom i am so excited!

question where were you going to stay if your mom hadnt got pregnant?

Its sometimes the only way, it worked for us my bro was in hospital for 4 months so we had a lot of time to prepare for him coming home, I say that we drove two hours to see him at a specialist trauma unit everyday. He then moved into my mum n dads room when he could get up the stairs as they had an ensuite so we didn't have to help him to the toilet. The thing is you have to adapt to the situation your in, it's easily done it's just finding a way of doing it. Like you said your parents made that choice and although they lost there sitting room it worked. It's not a great long term thing but for several months it can work well x

i was gonna suggest converting a dining room/2nd reception room/conservatory/garage/loft into another room.

on paper, your bro and sis should have separate rooms, their lives would be SO awkward not having private space to themselves, especially at that age, thats why there are rules about it. so on paper, you need 4 bedrooms... something has to give

congratulations to you and your mum though, how cool! Your LOs aunt or uncle will be younger than them

 

[Shansam]

Thankyou all again.
As i said before we dont have a dining room!
But the conservatory sound like a good idea.
When it was only me pregnant i was going to move out or still share the room with my sister, ive decided not to move out just as yet as i want to finish college whilst at home as it would be much easier for me .
I thought it would be better for me to also have my own space with the LO, and it wouldnt be fair on my sister ( as some oen has said ) having to live in the same bedroom as a with a baby thats not hers.

I dont think its fair that me,sister and LO should be cramped in a room whilst my brother has his own room. It wont be forever, only 1/2 years.
Brothers and sisters share the same room all the time, i dont think its that bad, if we lived in a 2 bed, it would HAVE to happen.
But i do appreciate all your replys, i understand everyones views are different
Thankyou

i dont have any siblings, so i might be assuming something about boys/brothers here... but if you had a garden couldnt you fix him up a nice looking shed? ive seen it done a few times, but not like a tatty garden shed, like the proper done up nice ones, like a log cabin! but like a cheap version...?

There is NO WAY he would sleep in the garden in a shed.
He would be too scared bless him, so would i if it was me.
We live in a very bad area of london.
Even pizza hut REFUSES so deliver to my house because what they go through round the area
Thankyou

I don't think your sister should have to share with her brother at her age.

I'd let your brother take the smallest room, you, your sister and baby take another room and your Mum and her baby in another room.

Can you not get a sofa bed downstairs which your brother or sister could take?

Something like this.....https://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/sofa-beds/cuba/

 

[TwilightAgain]

I think you, your mum and babies in one room ... eek!!

It's not fair to disturb/disrupt your brother and sister with the babies.

I never thought of this. Thats not a bad idea

 

[charlotte88]

What has your mum said about it all? because obviously she is the one to make the overall decision.

It's not fair that your brother and sister have to share, especially at their age. Imagine if you had to share with your brother? im sure you wouldn't like it?

Please don't take this the wrong way but why should your brother and sister have to sacrifice their own space because you decided to get pregnant? Its really not fair, especially as it would be VERY over crowded so you technically could get a place of your own on those grounds you just don't want.

I'm sorry but I don't think its fair that your brother is expect to share his room. He's a teenager as is your sister and they both need their own space. I think they're both within their rights to kick up a fuss if they're made to share. Really you and your Mom are the ones that became pregnant so it should be you two making the sacrifices.

Yes brothers and sisters share all the time but not at that age. Its just wrong IMO, they're teens they need their own space.

Im not taking it the wrong way at all.
Im thanking you all for your advice, your advice is your own opinion. Everyone who has posted a comment has left their own opinion and their way of which they would do things.
I asked for advice, NOT dictation
You have said your opinion once,i dont need you to keep commenting if your going to try and be rude.
" Because i decided to get pregnant" um excuse me, it wasnt a planned pregnancy. So dont talk what you dont know.
I didnt ask you to tell me what my family should do. My mum thinks they should share, but shes going to see what they think about it first.

Ive said the reason why ive decided to move out later on, and its because of college. If i had finished college then i wouldnt mind. Im putting my name down on the list.

Yeah i understand they need there own space, im not sure whats going to happen yet but we will see.
Yes, i know we were the ones who became pregnant, and sacrafices will obviously be made, but sometimes we all have to work together within the household to make something work comfortably
Thanks for helping

 

[charlotte88]

i wasn't trying to be rude, so im sorry if it came across that way but i think you are being very brash in your replies, you seem to have your mind set on one outcome (your brother and sister sharing) and dont want to budge so why did you ask for opinions?

What about the idea of getting a sofa bed? I think that would probably be the best you could get out of this scenario. Whoever gets it could put a wardrobe in one of the rooms or something

I thought about them sharing before i wrote the post.
If you look back to the beginning of the reply, a lot of people were saying they thought they should share,from this i agreed on this and thought it was the best idea people has given.
There were many ideas put across that girls put across that i am thankfull for
You... on the otherhand keep posting your opinion over and over again, sorry if it sounds rude but ive heard your opinion once, i really dont need to hear it again.

Because it seems as if your trying to dictate and not give advice.
I was open to all ideas when writing this thread.
I would have considerd the conservatory turned into a bedroom, but my mum uses it for a play room so i cant.
If you do reply back to this, im not going to reply back to you because this wasnt meant to be an argueing thread, and it seems as if thats whats going to happen.
For the last time, i started this thread for ADVICE.

 

[Shansam]

Twilight again, ill talk to my mum about this too.
Thanks
