Creating Space for the Baby

If you need a space for the crib and have no room, have a conversation with your husband about the need for a clear space. Focus on the goal of creating a space for the baby, not on his clutter. Start working on clearing out a room by sorting and boxing up items, being respectful of his belongings. If needed, let him handle the trash. The intention is to open up space for the baby and find a compromise in the cluttered room.
