Default Kids sharing bedrooms

I have three boys. It's testosterone city around here. The two oldest share a bedroom and have for over 3 years.

Do you have children that share a bedroom? What do you do to help them each have their own personal space?

I don't have any children yet but I'm glad we've got two spare rooms in the house. I think that would be terrible having two boys in one bedroom. Maybe if you let them have allocated time to when they can spend time in the room by themselves?

I have done that on ocassion actually. If they need to read I try and let one of them stay in the room alone and the other goes in my bedroom. Or if one of them asks to play alone I make sure nobody bothers them.

I don't think there is anything wrong with kids sharing rooms. It's probably good that they each have some time alone in there though. I only have one child currently but we are going to start trying for a second soon and the plan is for them to share a room for a while.

Well I only have 1 daughter, so there is no bedroom sharing there. How old are the boys? I would think as they got older, it would be important for them to have their own bedrooms. For privacy reason and sanity reasons too.

I grew up with just a brother and of course we didn't share a room. I bet a lot of kids share rooms and love it.

What do they think of it? Have they complained yet?

We only have one child at the moment but planning for another soon and we are going to let our kids share a room for awhile. If it ends up being a boy and a girl we will do separate rooms when they get older but I don't think it's a problem when they are babies.
