Our friends gutted their master bath and made a small sleeping room for the baby, and moved their other 3 boys to the master bedroom, and they took a different room.<BR/>We have a 1500 sq ft home, but basically 2 bedrooms, so our 4 (10b, 6g, 4g and 22mo.b) are in one room. We have thought of partioning, but for now it works.<BR/>Could you mix up the kids. Does another child sleep like a log and could handle the fussy wake-ups?<BR/>I pray God would give you guys wisdom for the best solution.Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455835076577157629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-42288148933279462212007-10-04T13:12:00.000-06:002007-10-04T13:12:00.000-06:00I don't think you are being selfish either.Our hou...I don't think you are being selfish either.<BR/><BR/>Our house is very small and all 4 of us hear the 15 month old whenever she cries, or when the 3 year old falls out of bed, or the almost 5 year old gets up at 6AM. Now the other 2 children have just learned to deal with the baby crying; and I know that if the baby had a rough night we will have a slower day the next day. <BR/><BR/>My problem is the 3 year old and the 15 month old during nap time...this too shall pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-37672069654922144152007-10-03T22:25:00.000-06:002007-10-03T22:25:00.000-06:00Don't feel guilty about moving the baby out of you...Don't feel guilty about moving the baby out of your room. You need your sleep! <BR/><BR/>I shared a room with at least 1 sibling (sometimes 2) the entire time I lived at home. There were times I resented it, but more often than not I enjoyed the companionship!<BR/><BR/>Partitioning the room in some way might help your older daughter at least feel as though she has a bit of privacy and possibly cut down on some noise.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Overwhelmed!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03213476355485623906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-67381061365141682302007-10-03T17:24:00.000-06:002007-10-03T17:24:00.000-06:00I agree with the others but I am also in a similar...I agree with the others but I am also in a similar situation. 8 people in 3 bedrooms. Only 1 boy but the second room is not big enough to hold 5 girls. Baby is in our room still (at 7 months) and I love it but it makes it hard on daddy who has to get up super early. We are selling and looking for something with more options. We shall see how God leads.<BR/>I hope you figure it out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-24677163220910627032007-10-03T12:11:00.000-06:002007-10-03T12:11:00.000-06:00I say knock down all the walls and have one big ro...I say knock down all the walls and have one big room. JK. I think in time R will adjust and she will get use to it. If you don't get your rest then the rest of the family will suffer. "If mama ain't happy nobody's happy." I think giving R her space during the day is a good idea. Your doing the right thing. :) LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-33906389690564967072007-10-03T08:15:00.000-06:002007-10-03T08:15:00.000-06:00I think kids are adaptable and this is what it is....I think kids are adaptable and this is what it is. You have 4 kids with 2 rooms and your kids will accept this reality as well as you do. Your little one should grow out of the waking up soon enough. I'd give your 11 year old as much space as you can during her waking hours (time away from the baby sister) but mommy better serves everyone if she gets the rest she needs. I hope this makes sense...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818800.post-71229125212385942062007-10-03T08:10:00.000-06:002007-10-03T08:10:00.000-06:00Any way to make a partition... like a curtain... t...Any way to make a partition... like a curtain... to divide the baby's space from the big girl's? That might cut down on the noise and the light issue.<BR/><BR/>Could the baby be moved to a bassinet in the livingroom if she's up in the night?<BR/><BR/>And no, you're not selfish to want your room back! :) I believe in co-sleeping, but even so, there were/are plenty of times that I wanted the kids out of my room for a night.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586345335424142815noreply@blogger.com
