hi all,
i have 2 stepsons 19 and 15.
have known them since they were 4 and 8 and have been good to them throughout the years, above and beyond.
now we have a 5 yr old girl.
hubby is torn bc birth mother fills the boys ears with sh*& and they whine and complain about everything.
Our (us two and the boys) relationship these days is not easiest, we put it down to the teenage years and the hormones going awry.
not a huge deal.
dilemma is: after working really hard these last 10 years, we finally got enough to buy a 4 bedroom house.
its a little upscale.
each bedroom is the same or slightly off the others in size. no huge diff. the master has an ensuite and
one of the others has an ensuite.
the 19 yr old is demanding it.
I dont think that he requires it because he only lives iwth us half the time. and the days he does live with us, he comes in past 11"00 and warms up his meals and walks around making noise.
i guess that is typical teens.
he works part time and uses his money to buy new guitar equipment and fancy gadgets. contributes none to the house and gives us attitude to boot.
is it very crummy of me to want to give the 5 year old girl the room with the ensuite. she is with us full time and has her toys etc that she plays with in her room. also she has a lot of furniture. Hubby splurged because he wanted the 'set to match'.

please be honest. lord knows im not a bad stepmom.
i feel like im being bitchy and i need perspective.

hubby said that its fine with him if i assign the rooms.

but when the 19 yr old started to whine, he privately said he sees no harm in assigning him the room.
what do you say?

sorry just wanted to add a little more.
i guess if the 19 year old showed a little bit of responsibility or caring or respected the household, i would be more inclined to give it to him.
i think he has most of his mom's gimme attitude and he demands a lot and gives not much.
thats why i am having a hard time with this.
my sister also has trouble with her birth teens so im convinced that this is not a step issue, but more of a teen issue.
also please let me know how to put it so it doesnt offend.
the last think i want to do is offend anyone. but im not sure how to put it.

Give it to the girl! She is there full time, and will grow to need the ensuite! And when it all boils down to it... How fair would it be to the 15 ur old for his brother to get the better room. It would be better to get them all settled as you see fit... It is YOUR home, and the 19 year old probably won't be there for many years to come as your daughter will
