My mum is pregnant

[nadinek]

I'd move out. id hate to be raising my baby in that cramped a place and with my mother's baby too. i'd find a way to make it work, it'd just be way too hard to stay and it ain't fair on your brother and sister to expect them to share.

It's really not a huge deal for her brother and sister to share a room. Families do it all the time. I've had to with BOTH my brothers at different points in time. One is 8 years younger than me and the other is 2 years older. It's not the end of the world and like she said, it's not forever. I understand it's ideal to have their own rooms but this particular situation I believe its best they just share, UNLESS they get a sofa bed. THAT would be most ideal.

Two newborns, a mother and daughter in the same medium sized room would be way to hectic and crowed. There is furniture and such ya know. And I think her siblings would much rather share with each other or one of them sleep on a sofa bed than be in the same room with a baby.



ETA: I don't think there is anything wrong with you holding out on moving. You don't want to be under anymore stress than you have to be. And they're your family, they should support you and understand that a family is a united system. Everyone has to budge and bend sometimes. x

i do like the conservatory idea, its good that you have one so can consider it.. if it was me, id love a conservatory as my room They are bigger than most english bedrooms anyway, all that light and space, and theyre modern... i might even have my room in one just for the fun x

My FOBs brother is like 5 months younger then my daughter. But his mom didn't know she was pregnant until after I had Jayden haha.

Hi there, 2bh I don't think it would be fair for 2 teenagers to share a room, I don't know if its a crucial year for them at school but it might be disruptive. I have a brother that is 2 years older than me and there's no way I'd share a room with him when we were that age because we would fight. I think the best option would be to change the conservatory in a temporary room as you said you will be there for half a year or move out hun

Thankyou so much chrissy, you understand where im comming from
I totally agree with you

 

[Chrissy7411]

No problem sweetie.

TBH i cannot see anyone in the hosue agreeing on any of the things said.

I would not want to share with my teen brother, Sharing with your mum would be way to packed in 1 room with 2adults and 2 babys if your rooms are small, no-one should have to give up their bedroom to live on a sofa bed. The only way it can really work for you to all live together still would be a bigger house..

Both ways its not fair;

1, It would not be fair for your sister to have to share her room with a newborn witch is not hers
2, It would not be fair to make your teen brother and sister share
3, It would proberly be really weird and to small for your and your mum to share
4, It would not be fair to make someone give up their bedroom so sleep on a sofa bed

I think it would be a bit unfair to push your brother and sister into sharing a room, when none of this is their fault whatsoever. They need their privacy, and I would think that now you're old enough to be starting your own family, then having your own space would make the most sense (ie. moving out).

Maybe you should put a crib in the lounge or conservatory and have a pull out couch for you?

Have you spoken to your mum, brother and sister yet and discussed things .. ?

Sorry to ask such a personal question but is it a council house or are you on housing benefit because if you are you should get more as a family now and would be able to move or if you have a council house they should move you. If not I don't know what to suggest as it sounds unbearable, maybe move out without FOB in to young mother's housing or something just until things become a little easier?
