We have 3 kids, a 9 year old girl,7 year old boy and 15 month old baby girl.(10,8 and 2 at the end of this year!) Currently our eldest girl and boy are sharing and are in bunk beds. They’ve always shared a room and our third bedroom has always been a “guest room” / office. Baby girl is still in with us and will be for the foreseeable until she’s a bit older as she still isn’t sleeping through the night, we are planning to move and looking at houses, had 2 offers on 2 different houses rejected already. My husband is a builder so we want a property that he will extend so eventually all 3 of our children will have their own rooms so that’s the plan.
as buying a house will take time and extension work will take time I’m considering putting my sons room in the “box room” which is a very good size and can fit a double bed, will put the bunk beds in that room as his room and the double beds that is in the guest room will go into the second bedroom for my daughter that currently both the kids are sharing.
my daughter has been asking for a long time for her own room as she feels she has no privacy, my son has started asking now to and I was thinking in the mean time whilst we are waiting to move I should give them their own rooms as we are practically wasting space in the 3rd bedroom as we only occasionally use it.
my husband has said he thinks they are still fine sharing for now but our older daughter has started saying she has now started saying she has no privacy and I also want to teach the older kids about responsibility and taking care of their own rooms.
wwyd?
I’ve spoke to my kids and they both want their own room but husband is saying they are fine as they are till we move but that could take months?
