2 Kids in a 2 bed house and visitors? Have you done it? How?

[~Kim~]

Nah, it's all doable.
Like Rumpled Elf we've had visitors offer to stay at a local motel, we've given up our bed and camped in with the kids, or slept on the lounge (our parents are quite immobile and elderly, so the floor isn't an option for them).
Someone you know always has a blow up bed too.

We don't have family near by either, and even when we lived in very small units, we always managed to fit everyone in (everyone always seemed to visit at once).. You have to rent what is right for you and your family.. Guests will work around it.

That's our problem - we didn't. But it's cheap, and its only for another 6 months. I couldn't cope here longterm, I'd go nuts.

atm we have a sofa bed in the lounge room. our family are interstate and international so can get cramped if they stay for longer periods of time. although now that DD is older my mum is now able to sleep in DDs bedroom and DD sleeps on a trundle on the floor. it of course would be nicer for guests to have their own room, but you can make it work easily enough and doesnt (well in our experience) deter them from visiting lol! although when my grandparents used to visit we would give them our room and bed and we would sleep on the sofa bed...

another option is to buy one of those wizz bang air beds that i saw for sale at a furniture store. surely they are cheaper than a sofa bed and can be packed away in a cupboard...
