I have both my girls in one room (they are 4 and 2 yrs). We have a play area already, and a study, and a spare room, so they don't actually have to share because there's an extra room, but I wanted them to. I think it's good for them. At their ages I didn't think they needed a whole room to themselves. They get along very well and they like being in there together instead of alone. I would do it!
Children living with parents is love? What a sick, sick mind you have. Boarding schools. Now that is love. Share the experience.
Tempting as it is to have children sharing and a guest room, I think I may have to do separate rooms for Liebs and Stormy. (Although Liebs has stated repeatedly he wants to share rooms when the time comes...) See, I'm not helpful too, right Nutter?
When growing up, DH's room was three times the size of BiL's and I don't think they were that bothered. If you have bedrooms for sleeping only then the play-space is less of an issue. Can you put up a screen or internal wall and have a space cupboard/playspace and similar sized rooms?
I like that thought. Here, we have three rooms and Liebling's room is about 1/4 the size of the other two bedrooms. Of course, that means that Liebs and Stormy could have the same sized room, but then DH and I would need bunk beds. But who wouldn't want that?
We're currently thinking that when we need Stormy to have a separate room to us, we'll convert part of the loft for Liebling. Who may well be at boarding school anyway at that point. And I can see how that is completely an option for you too LOL.
Hmmmm, interesting..... Do let us know what you decide....
I have pondered this for when #2 comes along (after they've shared with DH and I awhile ), but there'll be an almost 4 year age gap. I wonder whether DS will be too set in his ways to want to share. Like Zazou, DS only wants to be where we are, so a playroom is useless atm. All these reasons not to share, but I still think it'd be nice for them.... And DS can talk someone else's ear off in the middle of the night instead of his 3-4 nightly visits to tell us he's lonely!
