Bedrooms for stepchildren

My husband and I intend to build a house, hopefully next year. I have a 12 year old stepdaughter and we have a 20 month old son and another on the way. We donÂt intend to have any more children. My stepdaughter stays with us one night during the week and every other weekend (in theory, though in practice itÂs usually less). My husband is strongly opposed to his daughter sharing a room with either of her siblings when she stays with us. However, because our budget is tight, IÂd prefer not to spend extra money for the square footage necessary to build a 4th bedroom that will only be used 8 nights a month. One solution would be to build the 4th bedroom in the basement. IÂm wondering what solutions others have come up with in the situation where a child lives primarily with the other parent. Did you build a bedroom, have the kids share? Is putting the bedroom is the basement odd? Please let me know your thoughts?
