Should we go to court over extended guests at BM’s house?

DH has a daughter who just turned 10 and he is very upset about what's going on at BM's. BM has a husband and they share a 6 year old daughter. SD lives with them full time and is with us every other weekend. BM's household is a little unusual, her husband looks like a homeless person, dirty, missing teeth, needs a leg amputated, has cancer and some heart condition. From what I understand he isn't going to live much longer, but idk really what the deal is there. I guess he's a nice guy cause SD seems to like him and calls him "dad".

If you could do it all over again, what would you do different?

I'm going into my second step-parenting relationship. After a 7 year nightmare with my ex and his ex-wife I swore I would NEVER be with a man who has an ex-wife again, yet here I am. I already see the warning signs of a bitter ex-wife and I know I should be running for the hills, but I'm in too deep. I love this man and his children. I want to take what I've learned and approach things differently this time. I feel strongly about reaching out to the ex, maybe through Facebook and inviting her for coffee or something casual so we can get to know each other.

Why are bedrooms always such an issue for us??

I feel like the crappiest person on earth cause I don't want to give my stepson a room to himself. Sad He is here every other weekend and has always had his own room at our house because that was important to DH. When we recently moved into our new house (3br), I pretty much demanded that the front bedroom (it's attached to the living room with french doors)would be my office. I work from home and meet with clients here and working out of the living room had been a nightmare.
