3 under 3: room advice
I have a newly 2 year old, 7 month old and will be having our third this fall. We have a four bedroom house, which is currently our master bedroom, the two kids rooms and a finished bedroom in our basement as a guest room right now. Our plan was just shift everyone… oldest goes to the basement bedroom, the two younger stays upstairs (main level) with us. My grandma and mom are giving me a really hard time about moving our oldest to the basement, saying she’s too young, etc. etc. Our basement is fully finished, the same size as our entire main level, has a finished bathroom next to the bedroom, all of the kids toys are down there. Our daughter will have a crib, dresser, her baby dolls, blankets, everything a little girl will need in her own room. I’m conflicted on what to do because they’re making me feel really bad about it and I feel like that’s our only option. I don’t want to room share because our 8 month old is still not the best at sleeping. Am I crazy for wanting to put her in the basement or not?
Editing to add: Our house is two story. The upper/main level sits at ground level when approaching from the front. The basement is fully underground in the front and could be a walkout basement from the back, aka sits ground level with the backyard. BUT we do not have a walkout basement (no door going out). We do have full sized windows in our basement rooms though. The house sits on a slope
