Floor plan optimization city villa + fill consideration

I gave the floor plan some more thought. We parents should get the larger bathroom with a bathtub and 2 sinks, and the children only a small shower bathroom. I think this distribution is more common? At least I've often seen it that way in catalogs. As shown in the attached picture, this is how I imagine it now. Then the dressing room is also better because the wardrobes are placed further back. That way you don't wake your partner. And the children can still use the bathroom or the bathtub when needed without having to go through the bedroom. So it would be a compromise. What do you think? I don't want to overlook any negative points. I think the door swings are not optimal. How would they open most sensibly? I would have the bedroom door open into the bedroom and the dressing room door open from the hallway inward to the left. What do you think? Would you distribute the sanitary fixtures differently or as in the picture?

I think swapping the bathrooms is right. You will live in the house longer than the children. Access to the bedroom through the walk-in closet is also right. Especially if the children get a bit older and want to use the bathtub, they don’t have to wake the parents for that. Could you post the complete upper floor floor plan? Because this way you can’t see whether, for example, it might make sense to have the walk-in closet door open outward into the hallway. Does the recess in the wall in the bedroom next to the bed serve a purpose? Or would the space be better used for the children’s bathroom? This can’t yet be judged from this excerpt either.

If everything is drawn to scale, I believe the bedroom door will collide with the bed (if you open it into the bedroom). Yes, usually parents have the larger bathroom with a tub. But you are building for yourselves first and not for the average. If you parents would never use the tub, it doesn’t make sense. Then it would just be a dust collector or a laundry holder.

4 x 3 = 12!
For a bed of approximately 2 x (2+X) necessary, at least for the raw dimensions.
Let's take a 1.80 bed, there is still at least 2.10 for the bed length. And unfortunately the room appears to have more width than length.
Means: Passage at the bed too narrow. Door collides with the bed.
Wall corner facing the bed could cause a bad feeling when sleeping.
Without measurements, much cannot be assessed.

We have traditionally made the parents' bathroom larger and with a bathtub, and the children's bathroom as a shower bathroom. I often wonder whether it would have been smarter the other way around. Currently, only the daughter (3 years old) actually uses the bathtub. It also doesn’t mean that the larger "children's bathroom" couldn’t then be used by the parents for bathing, as a kind of "wellness." Our (similar) layout allows the morning routine "out of bed -> take underwear from the dressing room -> shower and wash in the bathroom -> get dressed in the dressing room." But the shower bathroom would also be sufficient for that. My opinion will probably change during the teenage years (of the daughter), when the children's bathroom is no longer allowed to be entered.

We have the parents' bathroom classically larger and with a bathtub, the children's bathroom as a shower bathroom. I often wonder if it would have been more clever the other way around.

That is why I advocate that, with two bathrooms intended for flexible use, the wellness bathroom and the utility bathroom should not be "predestined" in their user allocation by the entrances. There may be phases of life where, for example, one wants a ladies' bathroom and a gentlemen's bathroom (some adolescents find siblings of the opposite sex disgusting, some the younger ones, and some the oldies).
