We're expecting dc3...very early days, i'm only 8 weeks so far and it's been a bit of a 'surprise' (read - very unplanned).
Anyway, we're going to be moving in 2018 when we're out of the fixed rate mortgage. We're currently in a 2 bed house and another dc is going to be a squeeze, but it will only be for a year.
The problem we have is that ds1 and 2 (aged 8 and 6) currently share the biggest bedroom. We switched with them about 4 years ago because it just made sense - they have a huge double room, only bunkbeds in there so they have loads of floor space and room to play.
Dh and I have the 'small' double, which is fine for us - it fits a kingsize bed, our wardrobes and bedside tables, with a couple of feet of space around the bed. We don't need anything bigger...or didn't. But we will massively struggle to get a cot in there. It could be done but with huge difficulty and only by losing a bedside table (or two) and pretty much all available floor space.
So we've thought about switching back (obviously in a few months, it won't be necessary until about March). The smaller double is plenty big enough for the dc but they really won't have anywhere near the space they're used to.
Is this a really bad idea? Are the dc going to feel resentful or jealous, like the baby is kicking them out of their big room? AWBU to consider it and should we actually just cope with the baby squeezing into our current room?
