We are getting a new exchange student (From Russia! Fun!) on Tuesday.
Kranikan is here for another 3ish weeks yet.
They will each have their own room.
However, someone has to hang out in my 2nd guestroom until Kranikan leaves. It's a fine room. The bed is comfortable. There's an end table. A nice window. It's decorated cute.
But that's about all. The closet is huge but doesn't have so much as rod or a shelf in it (and I don't have the time or money to do it right at the moment). The closet is also full of baby gear and extra bedding I need access to.
If I put new person in the guestroom, he'll have to pack up all his stuff and move across the hall in 3 weeks and it'll be an uninviting disaster for him as he has nowhere to put much.
I also feel it doesn't roll out the welcome mat the best. It's like, "Here, welcome to America, hang out in this half a$$ room for awhile until I care to find you a better one."
I would just leave him there permanently but like I said, no closet, no dresser.
I'm thinking of asking Kranikan to just move over there. That way I can clean his room in the meantime..and then he'll just pack up and be gone without everyone having to switch around 3 times. He's also shipped most of his stuff home/mostly packed up already so it wouldn't be complicated to just move. He also knows we love him enough that I'm just asking a favor/being nice to the new guy rather than purposely off-putting him. He also won't be offended if I walk into his room to get stuff out of the closet.
Then again, I feel like he'd think, "I'm leaving, they're kicking me out already."
WWYD if you were me?
(And in honor of MrsJacinthe I will not tell you all why every option you give me won't work!)
Re: Is this horrible of me? E. Student Question.
Eh, just ask Kranikan to move and be done with it.
LOL. That was my thought too. Then H told me it was mean. Then I felt bad. MIL said Kranikan would get sensitive over it.
I will not listen to H anymore.
MIL also likes to baby Kranikan so I'll ignore her too.
Yeah, why can't Kranikan go there? He is leaving anyway! So this will get him packed and ready to get out!
I don't think it is mean.
Just tell him that you need the room for the new guyand he is being upgraded to the guest room until he leaves.
I'd normally just move him, but I don't know his personality. He has seemed like a little girl about some things, so I'd hate for his last impression to be that you're "over" him and shoving him out the door.
So my not helpful answer is if you think he can handle it, NBD to move him. It is not mean or impolite or anything else.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I'd ask Kranikan to move. I don't think it's a big deal.
Are you working on a name for the Russian or do you have to get to know him first?

Yeah, this is my issue. He's okay with the weirdest things and the next little thing will totally set him off.
He's been here a whole year and we're still trying to figure out his personality.
He loves to do a good deed though usually, so I'll phrase it as that.
We're thinking of one! We had Frenchcan, Kranikan but Russkan doesn't have that ring to it..lol.
Russican....heavy on the ' oo' sound.
We've worked with a lot of Russians in our line of work. We're actually dealing with one now...or rather dealing with her input.
It has always been interesting, but we deal with artists, and that is often an interesting (and sometimes infuriating) experience .lol
Haha.
The one we're getting seems like a fun kid. Or at least more laid back and easy going than our current one. We were told in by the university in charge that if we could handle the Ukraine Russia would be no big deal either. We honestly don't know much about this kid like we did the previous ones. We haven't had the time and we're trying to avoid preconceived thoughts this time around to see how that goes.
So what if it is mean? (Which imo its not) Kranikan is leaving soon and can take his "They were mean to me" feelings home with him. Better to have the russian start off on the right foot and feel completely welcome.

I thought about that..but it's big baby stuff...wont' fit under the bed.
It's also a massive walk in closet that needs custom poles and shelving. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right, kwim?
**snort**
I'd just ask the Kranikan to move. Seems like the simplest solution for everyone involved. But given your other occasional issues with him, I'd maybe have your H do the asking - seems like it might go over better that way.
