Sharing bedrooms

I'm interested to know if you room-share your kids, and reasons for/against, and any other general feelings on this topic? Fire away!

I loved sharing with my sister! We shared until I moved up to Auckland at 12 years old.
Occasionally we'd wind up in the same bed (I had chronic nightmares) but I can't remember getting up to much mischief instead of sleeping... except on Christmas eve when we were too excited to sleep!

we are looking at kids sharing if we have #4.. so interesting to see what ppl say.We have a 4 bedroom house so they all have a room each at present.

We shared on and off as kids, when I was younger it was me and my brother (13 mths younger) then when we got a bit older it was the two girls (my sister is 4 years younger than me) and the two boys (also 4 years apart). Then we had our own rooms. I don't remember any major issues, altho we had our own rooms by the time we were teenagers.
The gremlins share a room, and probably always will, thats their bad luck for being born at the same time, it's not fair to make Maya share with one of them. Because I work from home, I need to have an office, and since even 4 bedroom houses are hard to come by (we're in one now) let alone 5 bedrooms, the gremlins will probably always share.

The twins share a room and they have done since day 1.  To be honest I would prefer them in their own room, but they are only in their to sleep really.  We are on the move next month to a bigger newer house, and we have decided to keep them in the same room. It is a lot bigger anyway.  Their room at the moment is smaller, but they are in bunks.  I know that Christian quite often says he wants time away from Ethan, but we do have different bed times which we rotate for them.

ah, couldn't find it (had a mans look)

I think it really depends on the kids themselves. The family set-up. Difference in age as well.

I think that is also one of the reasons why we only want two kiddies. And even then I think they might have to share a bit in the first few years.

I feel however that they all need their own private space specially when they are a teenager. If not a room then it might be a cupboard or a drawer. Something that is just theirs and they dont need to share at all.

I didnt share rooms growing up. (Grew up in a big farm house and then hostell. When my dad bought a house in the city so we can go to school out of home and not a hostell they build on to allow each child to have their own room.)

Hubby had to share a few years with his brother and he said no way is he allowing his kids to share after a certain age. They even went down to draw a line in the room. But there is a 5 year gap between them which I feel has a lot to do with it.

We have a 4 bedroom house and before i became preggies with number 3 we used the spare room as the play station room. but with number 3 on the way kalem has been moved into that room i really don't think its fair on him with a 5 year gap. We are thinking when number 3 is older and sleeping well that we might try the girls together so that we can have a play room but we will see

my girls at present have their own bedrooms and Alize is in my room. The funny thing is my girls sleep together every night. I am now deciding where Im going to room Alize. I was going to put him in with Mercedes but Lesieli wants to share a room with him and since the girls sleep together anyway I was going to put them in together and he can have his own room. Im still unsure how its going to go just yet lol

Goodluck Teresa deciding on  how to room yours!
