We curently live in a 3 bedroom house and now have baby number three on the way so whatever happens, two of the children will have to share. Not ideal but we definitely can't afford to move. Eventually we might be able to build a fourth bedroom above the garage but a more realistic option and one wr could afford sooner would be to convert our adjoining single garage into a downstairs bedroom. Although i'm not sure at what age I would feel comfortable having one of the children in a downstairs bedroom.
We plan to have baby in our room for the first six months or so and then have two of the children sharing and the other in their own room. By that point my son will be 7 and my daughter 4. Would you put them in together in one room and the baby on their own, or at that age is better not to have boys and girls sharing? Would you instead have boys in one room, girls in the other despite potential large age gap if the baby is a boy?
I'm hoping that within a few years we could convert the garage in to a bedroom for my son so that everyone then had their own room but I don't know at what age it would be ok for him to be sleeping downstairs.
What would you do for sleeping arrangements? Thanks
