Access to pool is through master bedroom

Access to pool is through master bedroom

Purchase our house years ago and then added a pool. Unfortunately there's no good way to get to a bathroom or to the pool itself without going through our master bedroom, which sucks from an entertainment perspective. Husband and I cannot agree on a renovation to fix this. My thought is to take some space from the master bedroom adjacent to laundry room, create a new laundry room, and make the current laundry room a 1/2 bath. Not perfect because then we could theoretically be bringing food out from kitchen via bathroom. But at least kids etc have a bathroom off the pool.

Husband wants to change bedroom 1 to office (?) and take the closet in that bedroom and make a hallway to exterior. We would have to make the office into a bedroom and build a closet there. It's extremely bright in the office and not ideal for a bedroom, but that's an option. Would require some retrofitting to make it a better guest bedroom.

At this point I hate hosting because I do NOT want to walk people through my master bedroom, so we need to come up with something. We are a family of two adults and a 7yo.

ETA: Pool is on the right side of the page, facing all three bedrooms.

Where to pre-game for the Uruguay Saudi match today?

In town for the WC match today, where’s a good spot to eat and get excited for the match? Staying in Kendall so anywhere between there and the stadium.

Why can so few people swim here?

Born in Florida but grew up elsewhere. Now live here. I can’t BELIEVE how many older kids and adults we get into the ER/hospital for drowning. Not from the ocean or a lake. From a pool on a clear day. What on earth is the problem? I understand the racial contexts - though I will say my spouse did not have parents who were permitted to enter public pools either and he’s an excellent distance swimmer. But all sorts of people, irrespective of their racial and cultural background here, seem like they cannot swim at all or at least not well enough to go 25 yards. Other than the annual “pay attention” lecture that seems to help not at all, what are some policy changes that need to happen for this to be avoided? What are the barriers?

Parent advocate?

Lots of backstory that I can’t really share but has anyone had sort of a parent advocate on their case? In this case child is deeply loved by bio parent but they have significant barriers to being able to care for child. I’m not at all convinced that the parent’s attorney (pro-bono) nor the dependency case manager are being helpful here. This feels like reunification could/should occur here if we just provided the bio parent with the same services that we provide the foster family 😑 which we are not doing. Im clearly writing in my JRs that the parent was expected to care for this child without the complex services that we have provided in foster care. Bio parent really needs someone on her team who can DEMAND equity. Any ideas? Lots of cultural and language and education and other barriers here.

Recognizing I should have addressed this earlier - in 2024 I started doing some per diem work at another spot. They automatically enroll you in 401k contributions and took out some from my first paycheck. I stopped this but did nothing with the amount already taken out (a few hundred). I already contributed the max allowable via my regular employer. I imagine that I need to recharacterize this somehow… any insight? On the phone with Fidelity but no one seems to know what I’m talking about.
