Trying to think of ways to make over a bedroom

Posted: Apr 19, 2013

One girl pretween, the other 10. They are computer geeks and thought perhaps they could make pictures to go on the walls, maybe getting inexpensive frames for those but past this am just not coming up with anything else that might be appealing to younger girls. I am sure they would want to do the decorating as much as they could. Any suggestions? ;

What does computer geek mean here? - wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
Does it mean that's all they are interested in, or they are super smart with computers? What about colors? Most young girls now love all the bright colors and geometric shapes and those can be found at places like Walmart, Target and Kohls and some discount stores like Dollar General in my area. Sometimes going with colors rather than design patterns means they keep it a little longer because they don't outgrow it as fast which saves you money in the long run.

Super smart with computers along with most - electronics, cameras, all

[ In Reply To ..]
those things. The room is a light blue and I have never done but thought perhaps they could map something out on the computer here and then maybe enlarged at Walmart or the like. I wanted something personalized like family pictures, animal pictures and the like.

Why not let them decide? If it's not too crazy, let them at it--especially if they're artistic. Honestly, I don't think that age group necessarily wants family photos, but they would probably like if the photos were of them.

Unlike most girls this age, these are very much - family oriented, extended

family lives with them. I don’t mind them choosing at all. My questioning really had to do with wanting to find out if you could make posters, prints, etc. from the computers, having them enlarged for frames, etc. I thought being as others here had done decorating for their girls rooms maybe others would have ideas.

This MAY help to keep a bunch of tacks out of the wall. Essentials would be a comfortable place for reading with adequate pillows for positioning and good lighting. You can have them help pick. I would let each girl pick a bed covering in a solid color of their choice and limit patterns to the pillows to keep things from being over stimulating. If you want to let them personalize things some more, try a place like Hobby Lobby for nice pulls for dressers, etc. If they are into crafting they can make things for the rooms. Together you could find trim to add to lampshades. Since they are sharing I would try to have places for each girl's things so that they can have their own territory too (I have not managed this yet in the bedroom of my 3 boys but maybe someday).

You might try painting a section of their wall in blackboard paint, even frame the area, then they can draw and write to their hearts content and it can be changed as they like.

You are excited to get them aren't you - anonymoose

I read your numerous posts asking for lunch ideas, things for them to do while you are working, where to take them, and about you flying out to meet them to bring them back with you, etc.

Got to tell you some of my observations. You aren't saying why you are taking in these girls and second if you don't know what to do with them, what to feed them, how to keep them entertained while you are working, it sounds like you know nothing about them or how to take care of them, makes me wonder if you are ready for this. Do you even know the responsibility you are undertaking? These are not some rag dolls to be paraded around as toys. These are human beings. Where is the mother or both parents. Why is she letting you take her girls when you don't know anything about taking care of them. You have not made one comment in your numerous posts about her. Is she in jail? A drug addict? Why would a women let someone who doesn't live nearby take her girls. What if the girls called and were in trouble, what if the person she thought was responsible turned out to be a psycho (not saying you are, I'm just saying that's a thought that would go through my head is how would I retrieve my daughters in an instant if they were in trouble).

Got to say it just looks really suspicious. It if was my girls I want to know who is taking them, what are they going to be doing every day, what are your parenting skills, what are you going to feed them, what I want you to feed them, what are they going to be doing everyday, and most importantly who are you and what is your motive for doing this.

Just got to say all your posts send up a red flag to me.

Really?? You need to have a reality check if - you think for 1 minute anything suspicious

My children are grown, way grown and these children have been like my own grandchildren. I NEVER worked at home with my own children, that can tell you how long I have been in this profession. Years ago when my children little and growing up, we went on fabulous vacations and one time my daughter's little friend went with us to Jamaica. This was in the 80s. She made it back home fine! I would never mistreat a child. These children are NOT coming to live with me. They are coming over to enjoy spending time with me (as does their mother and grandmother except now since they have moved 1,000 miles away they cannot come over as often). I have known the entire family for over 3 years. These children love to spend time with me and with my daughter who lives a few miles away from me. The little girls are animal lovers like I am and they enjoy dressing up my kittycats and making pictures of them. Lady, you have written before thinking I have some kind of sinister meaning and you really have no clue as to where you are coming from. The smallest girl asked me to be her Godmother. The only reason I could not be is because I am a very senior citizen and I told them I would be their Fairy Godmother and that is exactly what I am. I love them like they were my own and would give them any and everything I could, just as I have members of my own family time and time again. For your information the girls and I will be on vacation way over 2 weeks that they are here but the other time I want them to enjoy being here, not just sitting in front of a television or being bored. Maybe others worked at this job and had children under feet but I never did, therefore the questions. You have a very dirty mind and please direct your thoughts somewhere else because I don’t need bad karma around.

Well that's cool. I was just saying the posts seemed a bit odd - anonymoose

[ In Reply To ..]
You post numerous post - what do I feed them, what do I do with them while I am working, where do I take them, how should I decorate their rooms. Been reading the posts for quite some time. Even DH, who is an investigator, said where's the parents, what if the girls were in trouble (meaning what if something happened to you, how would the parents get their daughters back, etc. Your posts sounded like you hardly knew these girls since you didn't know what to feed them or what to do with them or anything.

I have no dirty mind, was not even thinking anything dirty. Are you since you are the one who brought it up. These are all valid questions.

Glad it's all innocent. Still hope you are ready for the undertaking you are about to go on and hope the girls have a great time.

Undertaking? They are not going to live with - me, only visiting for a short while

[ In Reply To ..]
Like the person posting below, I answered before about the parents. I am close to the entire family. I have a husband and I also have a 40 year old daughter and my son is almost 50!! I would not have to worry about if something happened who would get them back because my family has my back regarding the girls. The only reason for asking about meals is I NEVER worked at home with children and I try to make things as easy as possible when I am sitting here and trying to do for them. They will be here a total of 27 days of which time we will be in either Florida or another state vacationing for 13 of those days. My husband does the cooking for us and he is already thinking about where we both can take them because we all like to eat out and can afford to. My daughter when she was a teenager decorated her entire room but this is not THEIR room for the rest of their lives, a spare bedroom but I wanted them to feel comfy while visiting. I have had not only my family but my daughter's boss, my DILs family, cousins, aunts, etc. and children around me all asking me to adopt them because I believe in going on very nice trips and I believe doing for others because it gives me joy in life. I should be allowed to enjoy anything and everything I want at my age and I make plans to do so.

Like I said - that's cool - anonymoose - sm

I read the other link someone posted to your first post about them I had not seen that. Sorry if I had offended you. Guess its just the investigator in me.

So that's cool. Hope you all have a great time.

what are you thinking? - sm

I can't believe you have the gall to imply the OP has something dirty in mind. That's just nutty. She is NOT the one who brought it up. You need to go back and read the post.

Reality checks - See message please

[ In Reply To ..]
One only has to read the news each day and you hear weird stories you never thought of, so to say someone needs a reality check was the wrong words. Nobody here knows who you are. We just keep reading post after post about the girls you are going to be getting but you seem to know nothing about them. All you had to say was to reference another post you wrote explaining about the family, not go off on someone. What do you mean she has a dirty mind? What in her post led you to believe she has a dirty mind? I didn't read anything like that. She just wanted to know why you are taking in girls if you don't even know what to do with them or feed them. Also, her post was just an observation that had nothing to do with karma, bad or good. You might want to do some research on what that means before you start flinging around words you don't know the meaning of.

Hers were just simple observations she (and also I) made from all the posts you have been posting.

so now that makes at least three of us making observations NM - red flags and all

[ In Reply To ..]

No, it makes four of us - Think it is weird, too

[ In Reply To ..]
I thought there was an odd quality to the first post and was frankly creeped out by the rest.

Not knowing anything about young girls is a concern, as is the circumstances that would result in parents sending them to live with you so long that you had to decorate for them?

Add the frankly weird observation that these aren't like other girls because of some kind of moral idealism on their part just adds to the creepiness.

The whole thing sounds like you are building a habitat in the basement for kidnapees.

She is an old woman, "grandma type" with a husband - and middle age kids..sm

[ In Reply To ..]
She is excited to have kids coming to visit for the summer. She obviously loves animals and kids and nothing odd about that. Lots of older people take a completely innocent liking to children. Ever have the older woman or elderly couple in the neighborhood that sit out on their porch and get a kick out of watching the neighborhood kids? Ya know the kind that like to hand out goodies, knock at your door with treats? I am kind of viewing her to be something like that type.

Only difference is, these are family friends who she came to know through the mom working in her home. Is it odd that a person would send their kids across country to stay with someone they have only known for 3 years? Yes, I think so; but thats just me.

However, I should also add that I dont think there is anything "creepy" about her being excited and posting questions for advice on this website. With regards to her ability to care for the girls, she has raised two kids of her own and these girls are 9 and 11, not 2 and 4. They can bathe themselves, pretty much feed themselves and defintely get themselves dressed and tell here what it is they need and what they like and dont like etc.

I should also add, she just sounds excited and came here - seeking innocent advice on how to...

[ In Reply To ..]
make these girls feel at home and enjoy their stay. Their mother is just a telephone call away if she or the kids need anything, but again these girls are old enough to pretty much guide her in how to take care of them. At ages 9 and 11 Im sure they know how to express their needs.

I had neighbors just like this as a kid and - I adored them.

[ In Reply To ..]
They took me and my siblings out for ice cream, to parades, and to movies. They always remembered my birthday and as my sisters got older and started dating, they started sending me small gifts and cards in the mail, ensuring I had attention, too. My family dynamic was not the best, so these folks were sort of our safety net. We slept over there all of the time in the summer. Nothing weird about it at all. They were much better grandparents than my own blood relatives.

I agree. Sounds exactly like what - I do also.

[ In Reply To ..]
Do not have to be related to have good "play" grandparents.

Exactly. My parents worked a lot and these - same neighbors

I don't care how you describe yourself. Knowing these two girls for the limited amount of time you have and your enmeshment, er, involvement with them continues to send off alarm bells in me.

[ In Reply To ..]
I know me and I know my heart. I tried to come on here and get advice from others who have children and work from home with them because I never did, always worked inhouse when my kids were young. Believe what you want, I cannot change anyone's mind and if you want to think my intentions are wrong or shady, so be it. I have known the family and been involved in their lives now for 3 years at their home, their school. I have no family of my own, everyone in my family including mother, daddy, brother, grandparents, aunts and uncles are all deceased. My g'children live across the country. I have a daughter here in town and we get together from time to time. I am thankful for the girls family accepting me into their lives as if I am related. I feel truly blessed. There is nothing in the world that I would not do for the entire family, anything within my ability. I myself bring in over $4,000 a month of my own money and spend it on whatever I wish and I wish to give the girls/family their upmost wishes. Chime on.....

why do you throw around how much money you have so often? - red flags and all

[ In Reply To ..]
See, I have a cousin that does that. She is a lawyer in D.C., a very powerful lobbiest in fact, dates an actual prince, and does not hide her wealth. In fact, she has told me outright that if I want to be her friend, she would be glad to shower me with money. She actually said "buy" my friendship.

That's what comes off when you talk. Like you are buying affection from strangers and the parents are letting it happen. My kid is adopted. Before the age of 2-1/2 years, her parents took her around people who exposed her to other people. **edited because I got my point across.

I'm not letting you near my kid. I can't control who you might expose her to. You with your nice family and all just aren't good enough for me or my child. If you need to buy someone's affection, you can't buy it from me or my child. I really have to wonder if your grandkids are on the other side of the country from you, why is it that their parents don't let them visit you like the parents of these two girls? I mean it is the same situation, right? The girls live across the country from you? Maybe the parents of your grandkids don't like them hanging out with you?

I sure hope you feel better, your family is a hot - mess!

[ In Reply To ..]
No WONDER you talk like you do what with how your family is. What a total mess. You keep saying strangers but now I see where you are coming from. You probably have shell shock from all that has gone on so let me just say, bless your heart. I am so, so thankful have never gone through the trainwreck you have with your family.

[ In Reply To ..]
You are very good at deflecting away from yourself. You don't bother me. I am strong because God needed me to be strong for a child born into a horrible situation. I am so proud of who she has become. My family is not a total mess nor a train wreck. The situation the child was born into was a mess and a train wreck that is now over. Thank God for people like me who was willing to do whatever it takes to protect a child rather than preying on them and make them fulfill something lacking in their own lives. I don't see you being so altruistic.

clueless - red flags and all

[ In Reply To ..]
Standing up for myself does not equate to being angry in my life as you seem to infer. The point was that I feel (and I see that I am not alone)that the OP lacks understanding of children, how to care for them, feed them, house them, relate to them, or the ability to maintain healthy boundaries for herself or the children. It's not that unusual for an adoptive mom to have something to say when it comes to clueless people having control over other people's kids.

Look. No anger.

"Clueless people having control over other people's kids." - See msg

[ In Reply To ..]
The woman is 70, she has kids of her own. I wouldn't call that "clueless."

You said she "lacks understanding of children, how to care for them, feed them, house them, relate to them, or the ability to maintain healthy boundaries for herself or the children."

I think we already addressed the "how to care for part" but HOW TO HOUSE THEM? Really? all because she asked opinoins on how to decorate their room to make them feel at home? I would think at 70 she would know how to house someone. I mean heck, even my dog knows how to come in out of the cold.

The rest I think is just a bit of an exageration on your part. We dont have enough information to know anything about how she maintains her boundaries with them, but as far as being able to relate to them, I think for her age compared to theirs she seems to be doing about as well as anyone else would.

Talking about an adopted child like that shows your true character - Not impressed

I don't believe what you said before when you said "If people only knew me, then they know what kind of character I have, a very loving one especially to kids and animals."

[ In Reply To ..]
If you say that poster is a hot mess, you say that about the adopted child. That person pulled that child out of the hot mess you seem to be dismissive of.

You will be back again to talk about your $4000 a month salary while working 3 days a week or how you need lunch suggestions for your husband to fix (esmaculate) while you work or any other narcissistic reasons that you post here. You attacked the person who adopted someone else's child. THAT you cannot defend. All one has to do is read your posts. I noticed you did not defend why your grandchildren don't/can't visit you like someone else's children who seem to be hungry for the crumbs you throw out to them. I understand why someone posts about red flags now.

Those poor girls will see who you are and will be raised to treat you like you are great while they dismiss you behind your back. Think about it.

This is laughable. I think the OP left the thread a long - time ago. Maybe thats why she did not

defend the accusation of her grandkids not being able to visit. This thread is like a lake filled with piranhas, in attack mode and biting for no apparent reason.

What are you trying to prove? - I'm with red flags

[ In Reply To ..]
Who cares how much money you make. That is your own personal business. Does your husband know that you come on the board and flaunt how much money you have.

I agree with red flags. It looks like you are trying to buy affection from people who are not your family.

If you believe yourself to be a good person you don't need to come here and "prove" it. Just do your thing.

I too would never allow my children to go stay with someone out of state I don't know all that way just cos they flaunt their money around.

There is always some bizarre story in the headline news. People who say, gee he seemed like a really nice kid or things like that.

Just have fun with the kids, be grateful she trusts you enough to send them out of state.

Gotta tell you though if there were not red flags before, once you started flaunting how much money and all the lavish vacations you took them on, sounds like you are trying to buy their affection and that does send up red flags for many people.

I agree with you.... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I also seem to remeber a post about not receiving a proper thank you over some gifts given a while back. I think the OP needs to find something else to fill her time, not other people's children. I have 3 children and would never, ever send them to spend time with anyone who was not a first-degree relative and that would only be under an emergency circumstance and last resort, regardless of how much money they were spending on my children. I also would be suspicious of someone who was spending that much money on my kids and I would not allow it. It is inappropriate. I think there is more to this story than we are getting.
