We currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment; with 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 adults who work from home, it’s cramped to say the least! A 3 bedroom has opened up in our building and we’re considering moving... wwyd?

Pros:
-similar layout and appliances but with an extra bedroom and an extra bathroom. We’d lose a walk in closet but gain more total closet space. Both bathrooms are bigger in the 3 bedroom
-better view/quieter corner of the building (we currently are in the side of a major street that fire engines go down frequently). Also higher floor so more light/quieter

Cons:
-moving sucks! Still would need to take time off and pay movers. Landlord won’t let us overlap leases so it’d all have to be done in one day. Would take awhile to get everything set up again
-hassle of changing address, etc
- we might be moving anyway in 9 months or so as my job situation is up in the air (finishing a phd program this year). We might stay but definitely not certain.

Wwyd? Is it worth it?

Fwiw we’re thinking that the girls would still share a room but they’d get the biggest room, and we’d have one bedroom and one shared office. Currently dh’s desk is in our bedroom and mine is sandwiched between lo1’s art table, play kitchen, and our actual kitchen and is basically overtaken by all of those
