Help with kids and bedrooms...
Hi,
Im trying to figure which kid goes in which bedroom... I have 2 kids, 1 boy, 1 girl.
So there are 3 bedrooms upstairs. On one side of the floor there are 2 bedrooms connected by a jack/Jill bathroom. The third bedroom is on the other side of the upstairs with a full bath right next to it.
Of the 2 connected bedrooms my daughter is in the larger room and my son is in the smaller room. The 3rd bedroom is currently a guest room and is also a larger room than the one my son is in.
I like that right now since they are on the young side that they are sharing a bathroom and "next" to each other. But I think it's kind of a waste to have a big guest room while my son has a small bedroom....
My daughter is staying in her room(she's attached and it's all set up) so my question is do we move my son to the bigger room or leave him where he is. If he moves then my daughter will have to share a bathroom with any guests but she would have an attached bathroom (nice for when she is older), plus more privacy for when they are teens, and my son would have a bigger room and essentially his own bathroom. At the same time I like that they are together on one side of the floor plan and neither have to share bathroom with guests....
What would you do? Thanks!
Re: Help with kids and bedrooms...
When I had guests I'd probably prefer that the guests didn't have to share a bathroom with my kids.
As a guest I always find using a jack and jill bathroom to be really awkward anyway. Do you lock both doors? What if you forget to unlock the other door, and the kid can't get in when she wakes to go potty at 2am?
I would leave them in the Jack and Jill until your son asks for a bigger room/his own bathroom. I think, if available, it is much nicer for guests to have their own bathroom.
