Advice time please...so please tell me if I'm wrong...so my step son only comes to our house on the weekends(every other)...I want to use his bedroom for the second baby since I don't think he needs a bedroom for himself since he is barely there...my husband thinks I'm being divisive but I just think it's a waste of space for a child that's only there 4 to 6 times a month..what do you ladies think? We have a spare space he can sleep in when he is here

How old is his son? I completely understand your logic. But maybe he just doesn't want his son to feel like he's being replaced or something.

I see where you are going with this and I completely understand why. I am also a step mother to a little girl but we have full custody of her and before she was here full time my husband and I had a similar situation. We had a few words about it and ended up leaving things how they were. Try and understand where he is coming from and especially where you do have a spare room that you could make into the babies room with out it causing any issues between the both of you. At the end of the day that is your husbands child and he will feel some type of way about anything that has to do with his child. Try to keep an open mind. That's what I learned and things couldn't be better between my husband and myself. Say if the spare room you are referring too is on a different level of the house than you are on and you feel more comfortable with the bay as close to you as possible and the room his child is in is closets ask him if he would mind switching his sons room to the spare room decorate it so he doesn't feel like your leaving him out if he agrees and you have a win win situation 😊

I get where you're coming from, but I agree with @amaperalta03 That may cause the son to feel as if he's being replaced or left out.

@amaperalta03, he is 6 and he never stays in his room only sleeps there that's it never plays in it or anything...the room we have extra for him is the room he is in the most so I figured we can just put him there

@mrsdaniels411, his room is closer to my room which is another reason I want that room for the baby..the spare room I want to put him in is downstairs and he spends literally all of his time in that room so i figured he would be happier there any way

i think its fine. just let him know while he was gone we moved some stuff and you got a new bedroom.
i would approach it like that act excited and tell him he got a new room.

I understand. my stepson is only here every other weekend as well. He shares a room with my.older son. The baby is still sleeping in the room with us and we haven't set up the third bedroom yet.

tell him if he doesn't like it, to get you a bigger place 😂 the baby will be there everyday! yeah he or she may not sleep in their crib right away but why would you keep all their stuff in your room!?

I have a similar situation and I can't even imagine the hard feelings and arguments that would cause between me and my fiancée. I see your logic 100% and I agree with you. It's a tough situation you are faced with.
