Name changed in case this is outing
We live in a 3 bed house and have 3 children, ds(13), dd1(11) and dd2(7). All bedrooms are a good size and the girls share. This has worked well so far, everyone happy. However dd1 would really love her own room. She's at an age where she just wants more privacy than her sister gives her. They are very close and she's so good with her but she always been content in her own company and now actively craves alone time
Their current room isn't able to be divided, its long but not very deep and the only way of splitting it would mean one person wouldn't have a window. I know there are set ups with bunk beds you can do to split a room but they don't want bunk beds. Ds's room can't be split but we do have a playroom downstairs that's a great size. I did suggest us taking that and give dd1 our room but we have an en suite so hubby doesn't want to do that. Ds is happy to have that as his room but this makes me nervy for some reason, having him on a different floor to us. Is that ridiculous? I think my worry is, should someone break in, it would be him they disturb.
So what do you think, would you be comfortable with this?
AIBU?

You should ensure there is a working carbon monoxide detector
Is the room near a gas boiler?

I would be uneasy at the idea of my child being on the lower floor; for the reason you mentioned.
