Please tell me its doable!?

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.

If anyone can pull it off - its you my friend

My two boys have always slept in the one room. I now have "room" for them to have one each, but won't split them.

It took a little while for them to work it out though.

Perhaps look at bunkers (online bunks store) with the boys and see if they want to get new beds to celebrate their new room?

Best wishes.

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!)...

It works fine...

[Jas]

I agree with Arimeh! You have fried bigger fish before this! Absolutely I think its doable, you will work it out. In a few years time when your kids are a bit older and you have finished your degree and who knows you could be with someone new and doing so well you will be so proud of yourself! You can do it!!

If I can put an autisic kid who would be awak until 1am with the light on other wise we would scream, in a room with a 'normal' boy who likes sleeping int he dark with the radio on then you can so do it.

You might find it calms them down hon it has done wonders for my boys and their relationship

[Tinks]

Yep, you can do it. They have no choice really. I had all 3 of my kids in 1 bedroom for a year, I thoguht it would be hell but they actually enjoyed it.

I have the door open/door closed issue here with DD's 11 and 7, I close it half way so both 'kind of' get what they want.
