DD1 and DD2 share a bedroom. Both love to have music at bedtime and for quite awhile were quite happy to have the same music. It has all now changed.
DD1 has become a real primary school girl and wants older music (Lion King soundtrack, Lady Gaga). DD2 is still a bit of a bub and wants Peace Baby or Wiggles. They used to take turns, but it has gotten to the point where DD2 is very demanding (ie screaming and crying) for her choice. She is quite tired, as we have stopped naps.
Now, I think we should just let DD2 have Peace Baby on. It means she will go to sleep quickly and happily, then DD1 can have her choice, as she takes longer to go to sleep. DH thinks that is unfair and that they should always take turns. Whilst I agree to an extent as it is logical, but DD2 being only 3 is not really logical and it must be hard to go to sleep to music that you don't want. I just think my way satisfies both girls, technically they are taking turns, just both in the same night. With DH's way, DD1 gets to pick each night, as we change the music for her once DD2 is asleep. So to me, she gets more choice.
So what would you do (other than stop the music all together)
