They should absolutely have their own bedroom, not to mention a bathroom each and preferably their own swimming pool

There is nothing wrong with sharing a bedroom, and I find it hard to believe out of everything you could feel guilt over, your friend is trying to make you feel guilt over that. Where you may find you have some issues with is when the baby is young and waking at night, but you could easily have them in your room while they are in a cot and move them into a shared room later. HTH.


And well said!

There is never a perfect time to have a baby - or should I say, the time YOU and your DH choose to have a baby is the perfect time. If you wait until you move to a bigger house, which may not even happen by the sounds of it, then you run the risk of not having a second at all.

You do what is right for you. And they will be fine sharing!
