I am looking for suggestions and ideas regarding siblings sharing rooms. We have a 3 bedroom house. Kids are 2 boys (ages 5,2) and 1 girl (new baby!). Right now, the boys each have their own room and baby is in our room. We are planning to have the boys share a room. How should I prepare them? Any ideas?
Room Sharing
boys sharing rooms
we've actually talked about this for the past six months.
we have two boys (6, 3 both w/ upcoming b-days) and they are overtaking the house w/ their shit.
i suggested maybe them sharing a room w/ bun beds and then turning the other room into a play room.
my wife always had her own room growing up and in on the fence because of those days when one kid might want to retreat to his own room/space and have personal time.
i countered w/ the fact that i gre up in a house w/ three boys and a girl. i was the youngest and me and my middle brother shared and room up until he went off to college.
i don't think i'm any worse for the wear not having had my own room.
half the time the boys sleep together anyway (trips to in-laws, vacations at beach/mountains etc) so i don't see it as that big of a deal... of course when things like this happen, it's a whole 'nother ballgame:
