A month ago we put my 2.5 yo DD in same bedroom as DS (who is nearly 6). We have enough bedrooms for them to have a bedroom each but want to encourage bonding / good sibling friendship. Seems to be going well so far - DD in cot (will put her in a bed when she's 3) and obviously DS is in a bed.
I really enjoyed sharing with my bro when I was young and I think helped us with bonding - but it was the other way round with us - I was 3 years older than him (I am female as you have probably sussed!).
How long do you think they should share for age wise, bearing in mind that the oldest sibling is male (not sure if this makes a difference or not)?
Would appreciate your opinions...
