if they were the same gender maybe. but seems like too much of a hassle since they're eventually need their own rooms.

If we continue to live in the city, probably so. We've only got one right now, but we'd like more for sure. We'd probably have a nursery for the littlest rooms and then room sharing if the same gender after a certain age.

I don't think so. We have a spare room, LO's room and a play room now. So we could have another kid and even possibly a third but then the playroom would just be turned into a room.

They can have their own room, but I'd love for them to share even though they're opposite genders. I think it'll promote bonding.

We have 3 girls and 2 rooms. For now the older girls share and the baby is in her own room. When she turns a year we told our oldest she can choose to stay in the big room and share or go to the little room by herself.
We all share a bathroom

Nooooo. Not if I can help it. I never had my own room and I HATED that. I shared with my older sister first, and then once she got "old enough" and my younger sister was no longer a "baby"', the older sister got her own room and I had to share with the younger. Even when my older sister went to college, my parents wouldn't let me take her room, they kept it as a guest room! But when I went to college, my younger sister had the room to herself. I was the only one that ALWAYS had to share. I'm still kinda bitter about it...

They will eventually have their own rooms and share a bathroom but initially, both will have to room together. The master bedroom is upstairs in our house and there's another equally big bedroom across the hall (both are 12' x 15'). The other bedrooms (there are four total) are downstairs and they're a little smaller. We figure if we have baby number three, whoever is outnumbered and is big enough gets to move downstairs while the other two live upstairs with mom and dad

They will when they are younger, because we only have two rooms upstairs and I want them nearby. Once they are older and they want separate rooms, one can move to the main floor.

If I have two of the same gender, probably. If we have three kids it would be more practical for sure.
I always shared growing up. I did have a couple years of having my own room as a teen and that was nice.

yep! right now we don't have enough rooms for them to have separate, and once we have all 4 i doubt we will have enough rooms for them to have their own!
we will have to make it work!

Ds has his own room, the girls have to share, but they're only here every other weekend. Eventually when we move I'd love for the two older girls to share and the younger two to share. For all the kids to have their own rooms we'd need a 6 bedroom house and I don't see that happening!!

Maybe? I like having an office....I might make them share if we have 3 kids!
pomegranate / 3983 posts
Yes, but for now we have two boys and only a two bedroom so there's no choice.

They will for a while. Our biggest bedroom is upstairs. I don't want them on a different floor while they're young, but if we're still here when they're a bit older it will be a bunk-type room! I don't foresee us being in this house in 13 years or so, when we'll need to figure out separating them.

They did. It's been chaotic having a baby and toddler in the same room!
We have 4 bedrooms in our new house but if we have another baby we would have to give up the playroom...and we have a ton of toys so maybe they would share for a couple of years until the same gender siblings are old enough to share.

@HLK208: This is what I'm afraid of and why I want to move before August! I don't know how a newborn, and toddler are going to sleep in the same room without waking each other up all night! Then you add my sd's to the mix and I'm going to have some cranky kiddos in the mornings!
pineapple / 12234 posts
@StbHisMrs: aw, well DD did sleep in our room for the first 4 weeks so that helped. If DS wasn't a solid sleeper, it could have been a nightmare. He slept through my daughters wake-ups...unless it was close 5am. Then he would wake up for good and it got exhausting.

We have a three bedroom house - but all three rooms are small. You couldn't fit a bed and a wardrobe big enough for two people into our bedroom (and it's the biggest room) so, currently, we use the next biggest bedroom as a wardrobe (we have one of those huge Ikea sliding door jobs) meets library. The third room is a teeny tiny box room, which will be the baby's nursery. Going forward, you could fit a toddler bed into the box room but a full sized bed wouldn't fit! Then add another child to the mix.....! Honestly, I'm not sure what we will do! We will either have to find the money to extend or convert the loft or move! Or put everyone's clothes in the box room and have both children sharing the back bedroom (which would hold two beds - just!). Ideally, I'd like my children to have their own rooms but we will have to see!!
Oh and we all share a bathroom! A tiny bathroom with a 3/4 sized bath at that!!

They won't share a room, but they will share a bathroom. Even tough they are both quite young they do play a lot in each others room all the time.
I never shared a room, but my siblings did- I don't think they are any closer with each other than I am.

I'm pretty sure we'll be done after two kids. They'll have their own rooms and will share a bathroom.
pomelo / 5469 posts
No, I wouldn't like them to have to share if at all possible. If we have 3 or less kids and we have a 4 bedroom house, we should be ok

They have their owns rooms, but I would lovw for them to share for a while. DD always says she wants DS to sleep in her room, so hopefully, as he gets older, he'll choose to move in with her for a while. I would never push the issue, but I'll definitely encourage them to share for a while.

They probably won't if things go according to plan. LO 1 is due in November, and we plan to have LO 2 in a couple years. I'd like to sell our house either 2 or 3 years from now, so if everything goes according to plan we'd either move before LO 2 got here, or they'd be young enough to be in our room until we move. When we move we definitely won't have them share. I'm guessing they'll end up sharing a bathroom though. It'll likely either be the main non-master bath, or they'd have a jack and jill setup.

If we have 2 kids, no. They'll share a bathroom though. If we have more than 2 than two of the same sex will share a bedroom unless we move to a bigger house.

Definitely will if we have another boy. If we have a girl, probably at first unless we have a living situation that's conducive to them having separate spaces. I've always had my own room, but I slept with my sister in her room until I was 4 or so.

Hm...
Well I want to have up to 4 kids, so we might have just 3. If we have 3 it will likely be no trouble to give each of them their own room. If we have 4, that might be a little harder... but we'd do our best to give them all their own space when they get to their teenage years. Maybe we'd renovate the basement and put a room down there for the oldest or something.
I had to share a room with my sister growing up and it was HORRIBLE. My sister is the hardest person to live with I have ever known.

While they are little they will but once they get older we will probably let them have their own rooms.

If we end up having three kids total, two of them will share, but we have a huge guest room so it won't be too bad for them.
