Bedroom anxiety

[chocolatecake1234]

Our master bedroom is an attic conversion, it would therefore make more sense if we slept in their and the kids slept on the 1st floor, it is currently a guest bedroom because when we renovated we had family visiting straight after so instead of moving our furniture let them sleep up there with the aim of re-arranging all of the rooms after. However, 2 years later we are still yet to move.

The problem is I feel really anxious about sleeping above my children, I’m terrified that someone breaks in or they get out and I don’t hear, even though we have alarms. Am I being crazy and should I move upstairs? Please re-assure me it would be safe.

To be honest, I feel more comfortable sleeping closer to the front door than dd but it will be fine!

How old are the children? For me personally, I would not be comfortable with that set-up unless they were older.

Our master is in the loft. It's a guest room/ home office (it's enormous). We have the second largest room on the 1st floor which is perfectly adequate. I don't want to be on the floor above (or a different floor at all to be honest) the kids.

As far as I'm concerned, 'the master' is the room we sleep in!

Personally I wouldn't want to be above DC I'd rather they were above me

I wouldn't sleep above the DC for the reasons you mention. I'd give them the attic room or keep it as a guest room.

Different Bedroom Anxiety than I first thought

Personally I agree, I hate looking for houses online and seeing a beautiful master bedroom with en-suite etc on the top floor. I'd prefer to be closer to DC and first door at the top of the stairs. (Also as the kids get older I would be self conscious of getting intimate with my DH right above their heads! I'd rather be at the back of the house with a bed positioned as far way as possible )

PrimeroseHillAnnie I noticed after I posed 😂😂

Aquamarine1029 They are young, we are planning on this being out forever house so we might move up when they are older.

TokenGinger My 2 year old is already spoiled enough with 2 bloody playrooms (both tiny one in the attic which is basically a giant cupboard we renovated and one downstairs which is classed as an office) so she’s not getting a room with an en-suite and walk in wardrobe although she is a better height for it because the roof is low over it. My sister comes to stay a lot so we’ll just keep that for her until their older I think.

Going against the grain, we are in the loft conversion with our DD on the floor below. She’s 2.5 so has a stair gate on her room and we can easily hear her because the house is small. If not I would have the monitor on overnight. We are in London so most of our friends have the same set up and don’t give it a second thought.

Yes you will be safe and yes you are being a little crazy.

PrimeroseHillAnnie Posted sorry

We had this in our previous house. I must be heartless as it didn't bother me at all but it seemed to bother everyone who found out about it!

I would feel the same as you op.
