DH and I have got into a disagreement over something very hypothetical...
'Backstory'. We have a 3 bed house. It's specific to DHs job so we'll be here for the short to medium term. We have two generous doubles (could comfortably get a single bed in too) and a single room. At present, we have a big room, DS (nearly 1) has the little room and the other double is set up as a guest room with a desk that DH uses. If I work from home, I use the dining table as I need a lot of space.
So, we hope to have another dc at some point in which case DS will move into the big room and the baby will have his room. We've been talking about how to give DH a desk and also how to have a provision for guests, which is where we disagree.
I think that we should put a good quality sofa bed in the big room with ds for when guests come to stay. Then ds can either sleep on a camp bed/zed bed in our room or the baby's room or, if it's GPs staying, maybe even stay in with them.
DH is firmly against him either sleeping with us or GPs as it's 'weird'. He grew up in a big house, I grew up in a three bed and part of the fun of people staying was snuggling up in a camp bed in mum and dads room. I'd love to have enough room not to do it but we simply don't have the space!
AIBU? Is this weird?
(I'll not mention that ultimately DH wants to put dcs in together to reclaim the little room as a study, in which case he thinks we can fit a desk for both of us in as well as a double sofa bed. We can't. You could technically fit a double bed in there but you wouldn't be able to get in or out!)
