Brief backstory:
3 DC, live in a 2 bed house. 3rd DC is 1. Were due to sell and buy bigger somewhere else before pandemic but the scuppered that plan so it's been put off for a little bit.
I sleep in the master bedroom with baby and DH sleeps downstairs. He actually has always done this as he is a night owl. Doesn't bother me I prefer sleeping alone and go to bed much earlier than him.
Anyway... I want to turn "our" (which is really just my) bedroom into DS's room. He is getting more and more stuff which won't stop as he gets older and it just seems pointless having most of the room taken up by a huge double (king size) bed that only I sleep in anyway. I would be more than happy on a small single or even pull out bed which would leave so much more space for it to be DS's room. I would like to then decorate it too for him so it looks more like a child's room. Not in any great rush but it's something I'd like to do eventually next year.
Don't want to make the thread too long by going into everything space wise but our clothes are kept elsewhere so it really is just the bed and a few little bits that are ours in the bedroom.
DH keeps moaning about this plan saying DS doesn't "need" a bedroom and that he doesn't want me to do it and it's not just my decision because it's his house too.
I appreciate it's his house but he literally never uses this room and has absolutely no intention of using it. It is "my" room for all intents and purposes so part of me just feels like doing it anyway. I am essentially just decorating my room and if I'd rather a single bed than a double why do I need his permission?
We have storage space in the attic where the bed I have now can go until we hopefully move somewhere bigger eventually.
I can't think of anything I care less about than having a dedicated bedroom with a huge bed to myself. I spend most of my time elsewhere in the house, I just need a bed to sleep in that's it. DS needs and will need space for toys ect... Much more space than I need.
