We live in a 3 story house. Downstairs is kitchen/living room/lounge open plan.
Middle floor has 2 bedrooms and bathroom.
Top has 2 bedrooms, one en-suite.
Currently middle floor is used as guest room & husband's office.
Top floor is almost 2 year old DD's room and our bedroom.
DC2 is due in a few months & we are thinking of making office into DC2 bedroom & guest bedroom into one for DD. Then we'd convert DD's current room into a dressing room/office (currently I use the spare bedroom for clothes storage as our bedroom is small). Guest bedroom is used rarely so it's a waste of space really.
Is it a terrible idea/unsafe to have a 2 year old on a floor of her own...and eventually 2 children (we'd planned to stay here until DD is around 5)? Otherwise when she starts using the toilet at night independently, she will have to walk through our bedroom to the en suite which isn't ideal! It's also tiring for her to climb to the top of the house to play with her toys during the day. We aren't sure if we are being ridiculous worrying about this but if it's not safe to have 2 children on a floor alone, we need to look at moving house. We moved here years ago so didn't consider children and the practicalities & none of my friends have children yet so can't provide any advice. Would really appreciate any points of view!
