To give ds the master bedroom

[beaniebelly]

Recently moved home; both bedrooms are a decent size, but the master bedroom is notably larger and brighter. I planned to give DS the master room, so he could have a desk/extra storage space - and using the logic that he is going to spend more time in his room than I spend in mine, I only use my bedroom to sleep and get dressed. I’ll have to get rid of my dressing table and another couple of small things which don’t fit in ‘my’ new room though which is a shame.

I’ve mentioned to a few family/friends that I plan to give DS the larger room and it’s raised a few eyebrows. I hadn’t really thought twice about it til anyone mentioned finding it strange. So AIBU to give him the bigger room? Total first world problems I know 😁

I would have done the same with my 4yo as he has so many toys and a drum kit etc and spends so much time playing in his room. Sadly can't as there is an en suite and he would absolutely run himself a bath at 3am.

My parents arranged this for me when I was a teenager, and as homework increased, it certainly made life easier that I was studying at a proper desk rather than occupying the kitchen or dining room table.
Half-finished craft projects could be left spread out as well, and it was large enough to socialise with friends, and as my musical tastes diverged from theirs, it was easier to agree to differ.
My parents, on the other hand, just used their bedroom for sleeping.

I think it depends - the PP who is in the smallest bedroom with her DH while her DD had two bedrooms, one for sleeping and one for her desk/art.. you can see where that child might come away with the idea that they are more important within the household

Nope, she definitely doesn't think she's more important, not sure how you jumped to that conclusion without knowing anything more about my house 😂
