my boys are 6 and 9- they share. my daughter is 7 and is hoping that i have another girl so she can share her room. On the weekends they all sleep in the same room. they pretend to have slumber parties. None of them are complaining yet, but i was an only child and always had my own room. so i have no idea about the separation thing. the only opinions i can forge are from unrealistic shows on the disney channel. thanks a bunch for the input, i appreciate it.

Well, I live in a 2 bedroom home and have two boys-ages 16 and 3 yrs. Sharing was not an option even though they are same sex-too much age difference. Now that I am having a girl, the 3yr, baby girl and I will share a room.

My sons will be sharing a room and there`s just over a year in a age difference. I dont agree that they should NEVER share a room and same sex kids. If a family/person doesnt have enough bedrooms for their children then they have to do the best they can. I think once one or both of the children starts wanting more privacy its time to seperate. I dont know that theres an age, but more of a maturity level when its best to give them their own spaces.

It depends on a lot of things, like robin said. Some wont want to be split up, but some will want their independance. Depends on the age difference too. A 12 year old probably wont want to be sharing with a 7 year old. Ask them how they feel, im sure they will let you know

I chose `they should never have to share a room`. Not because they are same sex though, just because I would never have MY kids share a room. Just a personal preference. If you do not have enough rooms for them each to have their own, I guess it would have to be whenever you were able to `upgrade`.

It really depends on your home, accomodations etc etc. My kids always had their own rooms but at one time when one was 6 and the other 2 they wanted to be together and so we put them in room together for a bit. Was about a year then they wanted seperate again. My sister had same thing happen to her. They roomed for about 2 years around same age. Some kids have a time they want to share and times they dont and the ages vary so I say go with the flow. My older kids are 13 and 8, if they asked I`d let them but they dont but it isnt uncommon for them to sleep in same room on bunk beds, lol. If they are initially and they arent complaining I`d leave it but if it gets hard on them then it is time at any age. My nephews who are twins had to be seperated at 2 cause one always woke the other.
