I downsized from a 3-bedroom to a 2-bedroom when I got married. There's one thing I miss.

When I got married, my son and I downsized from our 3-bedroom to my husband's 2-bedroom. I don't regret it, but we miss having a guest room.

My husband and I recently moved from a 3-bedroom home to a 2-bedroom townhome after getting married. While there are advantages to downsizing, such as a shorter commute, one aspect we didn't anticipate was the absence of a guest room. When living in our own home, the extra space allowed us to accommodate guests overnight, but in our new 2-bedroom townhouse, we've struggled to find a suitable arrangement.

Instead of an air mattress or using our son's bedroom as the guest room, we've felt uncomfortable offering our best sleeping options. Our aging parents also rely on our assistance, and we'd prefer to have a guest room available for them in our future home.
