Young children love sharing rooms, they have a friend to giggle with and tell stories to while they fall asleep. Studies have shown kids who share sleep better and don't need to keep running to mummy and daddy everytime they have a bad dream, and that's a nice bonus for everyone!

I shared with my sister, but she snored which bothered me, by the time I was 12 I was desperate for my own room.

Australian houses are ridiculously, grotesquely huge by world standards, not even talking about third world homes. Take a look at an Ikea catalogue to get an idea of how families live in Europe.
