Three bed house, two doubles and one single.
Child 1 is 15 (girl) in the bigger room. Doesn't want another silbling, not very sociable, spends all her time in the bedroom, will be doing GCSEs next year.
Child 2 is 8 (boy) is in the small single (there is space to swap his bed for a bunk). Would love another sibling, doesn't spent much time in the bedroom would love to share with sibling.
Really don't feel like I am "done", would love another child or actually 2 more (as the age gaps so big would want two close together to keep each other company).
But AIBU? At the moment the house is perfect for us, don't want to move child 1 into the smaller room or make her feel "pushed out"? Although she already talking of leaving home at 18 to go to college in a different city (not sure how feasible that is though).
The additional child could share with us for awhile until 2/3 I really don't mind. I am planning to only go back to work part time after so it will be difficult to buy a larger property on our reduced wages. We would be ok financially if we stayed in the current house though. Just the space/bedrooms issue!! And of course we don't know if we would have boy or girl.
What would you do? Forget the entire thing, be happy with the 2 kids we have. Or go for it and work it out somehow? Husband doesn't mind and says it's up to me.
