To think a 2 bed house is perfect and more rooms aren't necessary?

For us.

It's just me, DH and DS.

I do not want any more DC. I am done. DH thinks I will change my mind but I cannot stand children in general, although can't get enough of my DS. But he is enough. I think I've hit the jackpot of balance with life, work, DC and being 'me'.

Friends and family think I'm mad for saying we will be looking for a two bed. I want to stay in a fairly nice area of the South so more rooms would compromise location and just aren't needed.

In addition to this, I'm a cleaning goddess and I like to do everything myself in a particular way so wouldn't ever want a cleaner to treat myself to an easier life. Having just 2 bedrooms makes this much easier as it probably equals a smaller property.

AIBU?

You want what you want. We've just got one ds but regularly have to have people to stay so have three bedrooms. We're actually going to expand to four soon, three is a struggle when there's a big family or different families.

@takehimonillyou

This is one of the oddest posts I have ever seen.

Why does a grown up adult need to canvas opinion on how many bedrooms she needs?

It's pretty obvious

1 your current number of beds meets your current needs and you think that will never ever change.

2 you can look ahead , 5, 10, 20 years, to when circumstances might change (snoring DH, sleepovers, relatives to stay, granny annexe, whatever...) and decide you may need more rooms in the future which would necessitate another move. So to save on moving costs you stretch to a 3rd bedroom if possible.
