We are starting to put together our plans for our future house. We are disagreeing right now on the number of rooms. WE know we want a ranch with a full basement. DH thinks we need to do 4 bedrooms upstairs and one in the basement, I would rather do 3 upstairs and 2 in the basement. My reasoning is I know this is our forever home (being build on family land) so I don't want the majority of our space being bedrooms after the kids move out.

Right now we have 2 girls and are planning on having a 3rd child when we move in. I think we should have the two girls share until they are older and have our oldest move to the basement (it would be a daylight basement so plenty of light) when she's ready to be on her own. DH thinks that a 3 and 5 year old will keep each other awake if they share a room.

Tell me what you do and whether it works or not!
