Faced with the same sitch as you after getting the house, i am going with your option 1 after some time in the house to reflect. I need to do some work to get that done though. It sounds like your D's biggest issues is that she wants her own room which would apply in a smaller house as well. Involving the kiddo in the house selection would be a fun thing as well.


Option 2 requires the most interaction and negotiation with the W. For me, i would avoid it, but you sound like you have a better talking relationship with your W than i (me and the W don't talk at all except for issues related to the children)

You can still do option 3 more financially responsible in option 1 smile
