Sharing a room with 3 Year Old DS

[Zebrafrog]

Im currently renting which is breaking me financially but have been offered a one bedroom self contained outbuilding where I work (hospitality) the cost of this is FOC only thing is could I really share a room with my 3 year old DS he does get into my bed most nights anyway so I suppose it is no difference?

Thoughts much appreciated!

Could you have a sofa bed in the lounge? Me and exh had one in the dining room at the old house!!

Sounds like a great opportunity to sort out your finances. I think I could share a bedroom with my child of it was free accommodation.

Agree it sounds like a good opportunity, and it won't be forever. Not entirely the same but my cousin rented a small flat and shared with her son for a year or so in order to save for a deposit on buying a flat. No regrets at all!

Sounds fine if it’s short term and there is a lounge area or somewhere for you to go after he goes to bed. I wouldn’t want to do it for years but for a year, yes, would be fine. My dd slept with us until she was 3.5 anyway (2 years bedsharing and then a year and a half in a floor bed in our room). It sounds like you could save up some money that way.

I'd definitely do it and use the opportunity to save up. At 4.5 my DS gets in my bed regularly so I wouldn't notice much difference

Tbh if I suddenly went from 2 bedrooms to 1 now with my 3yo DS, I don't think I'd notice except for the extra toys in the bedroom. He sleeps in my bed and also tends to play in there in the day because I've got a TV in mine.
If it's just for a few years or less then I don't think it'd be too difficult for you to deal with. Obviously if he got towards the end of primary school and you were still sharing a room, then it may become a bit more difficult and uncomfortable for the two of you

Do it to save up! It’s a great opportunity to sort out finances and maybe save for a bigger place, it only needs to be a short term kind of thing.
