"Let's get a bigger house, further away from work, so it has an extra bedroom in case Grandma comes over"

Not saying this is a bad example, but it COULD be the case that grandma never being able to come over is totally unacceptable. Which is also a pitfall - something can seem trivial until it goes away.

Only if there's really no other way for Grandma to come over - not even for example sleeping in the living room so she can have the sole bedroom.
