Its a silly thing really but would like advise/opinions please. We (my partner and my 6 month old baby) are moving closer to family mext month. Partners family own a big house with a 2 bed barn conversion which we shall be living in. Im worried that the upheaval will unsettle baby a bit so plan to make her room up asap so she has some familiar surroundings. However, there currently is 32 single beds in there, which means there won't be a lot of room for her stuff. We want to move them out to the garage (which has 2 levels and is huge). However, my father-in-laws girlfriend who lives in the main house is insisting they stay, as she wants us to put up her two grown up daughters over xmas. Im quite annoyed at this, one because it will be our house whilst we are livin in it and also because it might unsettle my baby, to have to move out of the room. So my questions are 1) do you think she would be unsettled (she is my first) and 2) do you think i have the right to over-rule this woman

Yes to both questions. Who does she think she is, Queen Muck. Just remember your family comes first and your questions were not silly

First, it should be your right to arrange it as you see fit if you are paying rent. Second, your baby will probably be just fine however you arrange it assuming you keep her routine as similar as possible to what it is now. Babies thrive on routine and probably she will be completely unaware of the beds, but would be very put off if you changed her bedtime, her feeding schedule, etc. So I'd focus on just keeping her on the same schedule, and then quietly remove the beds when you get a chance. It'll blow over eventually anyway. Good luck w/the in-laws.

1)I think as long as you are with baby she shouldnt be unsettled.
2)If you are going to be living there, and its going to be your home, then you have say in wether or not her daughters stay there, why cant they stay in the main house (closer to her)?
If I were you I would talk to you partner and have your partner talk to the Father and let him know that you all would like to get settled in and that you not fond of the idea of having to "share" your new home with her daughters.
I hope everything works out for you!!!

I don't think it will bother the baby.....only you. If you are paying for the place than you have the right to say you want the beds out, if you are staying for free then sorry it isn't your place to say that the beds should go.

If your father in law owns a big house why can't her daughter's stay in there instead. It is not "Her" house and your parnter needs to talk to his/her dad about it.
