[quote=Anonymous]This is a smart, accomplished group so wanted to get insight before spending lots of time and money on a solution.

Problem: We live in an older 4 bedroom house with DS 6, DD 4, DS 2 1/2. A new baby boy is coming this July. Each kid currently has their own bedroom, but we want let the baby have his own (small) room while we double up two of the older kids. Both rooms the kids would share are equally large. So, do we:

A- buy bunk beds (cost of about $1,500)  to bunk the boys together (age 6 and 2 1/2) knowing that we hope to buy a house with 5 bedrooms in next three years and bunks may not be used that long. However, brothers get along great and both are great sleepers.

B- use the preexisting twin beds to put the 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old together? However, they are close in age (18 months apart) and my daughter often bosses and controls the younger one, who is more passive and introverted. Worried that this is setting ourselves up for long term therapy issues for younger boy. Also, will make bedtimes much harder for awhile.

C- other unthought of option?

Thanks everyone![/quote]
