[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally wouldn’t bother. I don’t think your house sounds ideal for a hang out house.

We bought our house with multiple spaces so that we can be the hang out house. I have a 13yo but also 2 kids in elementary including a 5yo. The younger siblings don’t leave teen and friends alone so teen does not like to have friends over. We have a 6000 sf basement with huge screen tv, billiards, ping pong, etc. our teen doesn’t like his siblings bothering him and would rather go to his friends’ homes.[/quote]

Op here — this is soooo classic! I’m sure the more effort i put into it the less likely it is they will want it. Right now they want it probably because we have been backing off on doing it, having received some truly shocking estimates.

Another question for those with two or more kids — once the oldest leaves, do the others get dibs on his or her bedroom or is it frozen in time? Especially if it is a true big kid room like I remember some friends having — in a finished basement or other private spot.[/quote]

My house has that bedroom and it’s my 15 yo olds. Private bath, private entrance, big (daylight basement, but was finished by us a couple years ago so new ish) and it’s understood that her 12 yo sister gets that room when she goes to college, bc the other bedroom is very small, and quite unfair honestly. We will then make the small bedroom her room when she comes home - based on her personality, I don’t see her doing that though for more than holidays, she’s quite busy and not much of a homebody.
