Well my 2 girls 5 and 3. share a room by choice. When we had our home built and before we moved out plan was for them to have their own room. As we were moving in I put their bed in their `own `room. Since my oldest had a full size bed , my oldest would ask her to sleep with her and vice versa. Finally I moved them into together. Then when they got `sick` of each other their was fighting b/c my oldest had a big bed and she had a `baby` bed. So we go them both twins and it been fine since then. they still sneak into each others bed sometimes. I think its fine when they are young but I am sure that when they are older it will not be. Now that I have a son. He has his own room but is still sleepiing in mine. I will be sure when theyare older for them to ALL have their own room!!! Even if they are close in age I dont think girls should share if possible. We all know how girls are, but boys I dont think its such a big problem. Also they should not share if there is a big age difference. When I was going through Foster care training they said not more than a 5 year difference.

my son 2.5 and daughter due next month will share a room. my brother and i are two years apart and shared a room. until i was 7 or 8 i think. when i wanted my own room. ill probably do the same with mine,, whenever they want to move to their own rooms they will. good luck!

I have 8 siblings and always shared a room. We were really close in age though so sharing a room wasn`t a big deal. If there is a huge age difference between the kids I wouldn`t do it.

Personally I dont like the sharing room thing! Luckily I never had to but my friend did and it was horrible as she was the eldest and her sis was really young! She didnt have no privacy and hated sleeping there so she always ended up over mine on weekends just to get away from her sister! So Im against it but then Im sure it can make some bro`s/sis closer?? I think a lot of it depends on the ages of the children (twins I agree with staying together as they same age and go thru everything together) xx

my boys have 8 years apart so they wont share rooms... the oldest will be going thro puberty soon. I don`t think there is anything wrong with kids sharing rooms thats what a lot of ppl need to do! Personally if i could afford it then i would give my kids separate rooms but if finances determined that i couldn`t afford it then they would have to share a room (if they were closer in age)

It really just depends on what you & your husband like. For some reason I`ve never liked the sharing the room thing, but that`s just me. We are building onto our house right now, to have an extra room for the little boy I`m pregnant with. Alot of people keep saying `why are you going through all that trouble, when they can just share a room` (they are both boys), and I have to explain to everyone that I just dont like the sharing a room thing.
