Help me with bedroom situations!

[Emcont]

My DD's are 4 and 6. At the moment we co-sleep in my kingsize bed in the 'master bedroom' while DH is sleeping on the bottom bunk in the girls bedroom. This has been working fine for us up until now. DH goes to work very early and we have co-slept from birth, so it's just worked.

But now they're getting bigger and they have more 'stuff' I'm contemplating swapping bedrooms with them and taking the very small, barely double, bedroom.

Currently their bunk beds will separate to two single beds. Do I keep these or opt for a double bed for them to share? I've seen this mentioned quite a lot in my research while trying to decide what to do!

Would it bother you if you had a bedroom that fit your bed in and not much else?!

Co-sleeping is a valid choice. Co-sleeping is all sleeping in one room regardless of whether everyone has their own bed or not. Technically a bedroom with a double bed for a couple and a cot for a baby is co-sleeping. Only one type of co-sleeping is bed sharing. Bed sharing is the type of co sleeping that has added risk.

Anyway OP, one thing you could consider since you master bedroom is big enough for two king size beds is setting up their bunk beds as a bunk bed in your master bedroom with your king size bed in there as well. So you all sleep in the same room, but the DDs have their own beds. The smaller room can be a play room.

But this should be an intermediary stage and I’d honestly plan on within 1-2yrs moving the DDs and their bunkbed to the smaller room.

I’m trying to picture the house layout. It seems okie a very strange design

I think this too. Presumably there isn't another room (bedroom or otherwise) to act as a playroom?

It sounds as though a little remodelling of the house - if practical - would be a good idea if only because your children might not want to share a room when they're older. If it's not practical, of course, they may have to.
