Bedtime Struggles

Our lovely house has three bedrooms. Three bedrooms is plenty for a family of four, but for a family of five, two kids are bound to share a room. We had been struggling when to put Jack and Finn in the same room for quite some time. Then one afternoon, Finn broke his crib and made the decision for us. Jack had bunk beds in his room already, so off Finn went into Jack's room. Our bedtime routine has never been more challenging. The kids aren't falling asleep until at least 9 PM and this has been going on for over a week an a half now. The thing that frustrates me the most is that now the only time during the day when Tom and I would be able to talk in peace and quiet no longer exists. It's frustrating and it causes friction between the two of us. I just hate how this happened so abruptly. But we don't have any other options, so I guess we just keep dealing with it night after night and hope that some night in the very near future, bedtimes can not be so crazy, chaotic, and full of yelling and threatening remarks. Because honestly, I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle.
