[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3693616, member: 41321"] Before going on, getting everyone in the house together for a house meeting and keeping voices calm (like Harmon said) is the most important thing. Put down some rules. Explain to the ladies that if they cannot compromise then the situation will never be resolved and see what you can come up with. If they are adults you should be able to calmly and rationally work something out. Now, are you talking about doing things [i]to[/i] the room or [i]in[/i] the room? Doing things [i]in[/i] the room might be easier to deal with. Put up a schedule and give each person X hours or so many days a week in the room. Allow them to swap times if they want. This schedule doesn't mean that someone is banned from the room in question, only that the person who's night it is gets to decide what happens in that room. The person who controls the kitchen that night decides whats for dinner, for example. If a non-controlling person wants to do something in that room they can, but they can't interfere with the controlling person. If you're talking about doing things [i]to[/i] the room, like decorating and choice of appliances, then you might want to split the rooms up. For example, one person gets to decorate the living room and bathroom, the other gets to decorate the dining room and kitchen. I'm sure you guys can work something out, but it will take calm, rational discussion with all members involved (including the guys). If anyone feels the need to yell (or starts yelling), take a time out. Do not let shouting matches start, because all they do is get tempers up and make people more bull-headed. [/QUOTE]
