We are 2 years apart. It was a huge room though, and my dad built giant bookcases that went through the middle of the room to divide it. </p> <p>We didn't mind sharing a room except when one of had friends over it could get annoying since the boys could "spy" on us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295915 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:02:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 295915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I shared a room with my younger brother (4 years younger) until I turned 9. Then he shared a room w/our youngest brother and I got my own room. </p> <p>Even if we have extra bedrooms, I'm totally gonna have my LOs share a room -- I remember how much fun my brother and I had telling stories and talking before going to bed at night :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295663 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:37:38 +0000 JerricaBenton 295663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but I think it's cute when they are little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295615 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:05:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 295615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shared a room with one of my brothers until I was about 5 (and he was 9). Then he moved into the "Boy Cave" room with our older twin brothers and I got my own bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295611 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:03:45 +0000 Alivoo01 295611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm with @highwire: !

I shared for a while with my older sister, then with my younger sister for a few years, but we couldn't get along so my parents built an addition :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295557 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:23:49 +0000 Rock n Roll 295557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I shared when I was little. Until I was six or so? (My brother would have been nine.) We had a three bedroom and my brother and I shared while my sister was a baby, and then once she was a decent enough sleeper, she and I shared and my brother got his own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295531 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:11:40 +0000 Mrsbells 295531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousins did up for a long time. I think in the pre-teen years its ok, but once one sibling starts going through puberty they NEED privacy from a sibling of the oppposite gender </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295526 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:09:46 +0000 blackbird 295526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband did, all through high school </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295523 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:08:32 +0000 Honeybee 295523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had sisters, so no.</p> <p>We plan on having DD and DS share for a room for a while, though. I feel like sex/gender doesn't matter much when they're little, and I really want them to have the experience of sharing of a room with a sibling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boys-and-girls-sharing-a-room#post-295517 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:05:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 295517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone grow up sharing a room with a sibling of the opposite gender? </p> <p>I only shared a room with my brother once-- we lived in an apartment while our house was being finished. </p>
