Having a 3yo and 2yo share a room when they cant even share a house without fighting; when one prefers door closed, one prefers door open.
Or having a breastfed 9mth old who still wakes 3x a night and usually has to whinge himself to sleep share with one of the older boys who will see it as an opportunity to not sleep.
All on top of having to study at night after dinner because your at Uni full time.
It CAN be done I actually find Annabelle sleeping better now with Lucy waking up throughout the night. Maybe because she HAS to sleep through Lucy waking
Before Lucy, Annabelle would wake through the night now its very rare
Good luck. They'll get through it coz they HAVE to
Of course it can be done! My parents had 4 of us in tiny house, we were all born in less than 5 years but back in the old days alot of people had the same situation.
I guess at first it may be hard but once the novelty wears off they'll be fine.
As for the study part try not to stress yourself on it. Don't be like me and leave stuff til last min! Plan in advance what you need to work on and when.
My two DD (7 & almost 6) have shared a room since DD6 was in a bed...
Sometimes there are fireworks - but it's part of learning to negotiate, withstand differences in others and practice tolerance! (that's what I tell them anyway!)...
