I'm selling my house and DP and I are buying a bigger one together. DP has 2 kids, DSS 7 and DSD 5. The main reason we are moving is so that the kids can have separate rooms as I currently only have 2 bedrooms. They also share a room at thier Mums but DSS has been asking for his own room recently. We have a buyer for mine and have found a lovely home with 4 bedrooms, 3 doubles and a single. The plan is for me and DP to have the master bedroom, DSS will have one of the doubles and DSD will have the single. The kids are excited about having their rooms decorated in the colour of their choosing. The spare room will be a guest room for now, DP and I are planning on having a child together in the future so this will be their room.
The kids have been viewing houses with us, DSS always asks for the 2nd biggest room but DSD doesn't care as long as her room is pink! Although no one has said anything directly to us, there have been some comments about DSD having the smallest room. DP and I have talked about it and our reasons for DSD having the single is so that we can have a double guest room for people to stay for now and when we do have child together, I wouldn't want to move the kids around, their rooms will always be theirs. DSD and DSS stay about 2-3 times a week.
Am I being an evil step mum or am I thinking about it too much? DPs view is that they currently share a room so they will just be happy to have a room each and the size doesn't matter.
