In that case, the girl probably needs the bigger room, even if she's younger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12590 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:17:51 +0000 Adira 12590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Looch - I actually really want to do that, but I'm concerned that if I have a boy and a girl, I'll have to give them their own rooms eventually, and probably earlier than if I have two of the same gender.</p> <p>My brother and I shared a room for a while, but we each got our own room before we were 8 (I think), so although I could definitely make my kids share for a while, I will eventually have to face this problem (if they're boy/girl). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12584 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:11:38 +0000 looch 12584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you put both kids in the same room, and use the second bedroom as a study/playroom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12567 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:55:31 +0000 skibobrown 12567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I was the older child in my family, and I always got the bigger bedroom. My little sister never seemed to upset about that, so it seems to have worked out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12560 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:49:41 +0000 Adira 12560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jbhops - that's a really good point, thank you! I didn't even think of that. The bigger room definitely could fit more things, but I'll have to make it a point to keep it consistent so the kid with the smaller room doesn't really get screwed over.</p> <p>I'm also thinking that maybe I'll use some of the bigger room for storage - that way even though one kid will have the bigger room, they'll have to share it with some of my stuff, and the other kid won't, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12553 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:40:49 +0000 mediagirl 12553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we would give the older child the bigger room. Mostly because they came first. I think I would try to make sure that both kids have the same things in their rooms, though so they don't feel like they're getting gipped. Like, the bigger room shouldn't have a small couch in it even if there's room, if the smaller room won't fit one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12529 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:24:54 +0000 heffalump 12529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 3 bedroom, too, and the two kids rooms are different sizes. </p> <p>We have the baby in the bigger room, and right now the smaller room is the guest room. We're planning on keeping it that way and having baby #2 move into the guest room. I feel like the older kid should get the bigger room. I guess I'm the baby of the family so I'm used to that kind of thing. I lived with it, my kids can too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12528 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:24:38 +0000 cyndistar3 12528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when the time comes I would probably give the older child the larger room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedroom-sizes#post-12519 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:20:03 +0000 Adira 12519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I've got another bedroom question for you all!</p> <p>Our house has three bedrooms. One is obviously the master with a master bath, and then upstairs we have two other bedrooms, which will eventually belong to our children. My problem is that they are not even remotely close to being the same size. One bedroom is 11' x 14' and the other is (essentially) 12' x 20'.</p> <p>I'm planning on having two children, ideally close in age (we'd like to start trying for #2 when #1 is six months.</p> <p>Does anyone else have this issue? How did you deal with it? I know I don't really have to deal with this for a while since my two kids will be able to share the larger bedroom for a few years, but at some point, I'm going to have to deal with it, and I'd rather have a plan now. If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it! </p>
