Adam and I are currently considering buying a new house (partly for this reason; partly for others) and we’re looking at one just around the corner. However, the bedrooms are on different levels. For example, the main bedroom is downstairs (or so they tell us – we thought it was upstairs originally) and the secondary kid’s rooms are upstairs.
Because I’ve always slept with the kids two or three steps away from my bedroom, I find this prospect of distance a bit unsettling. If they were to call out in the middle of the night I’d have to circumnavigate my way through several rooms and a staircase to get to them.
Does anyone else live in a situation similar to this? Am I making a big deal over nothing? Or is it actually a good thing to have a bit of distance? Bear in mind, though, my kids are still rather young. Opinions? Suggestions?
