Sharing bedroom when have a spare room.

[Mynewhome]

My oldest son recently left home. I live in a council house. I now have 4 children at home. This means the kids could all have a room each. The 2 children who share are age 7 and 8. The 7 year old wants his own room . But the 8 year old does not . He has special needs and is a bit younger than his age . I don't want to cause him Any stress and upset. But also I want to be fair to the 7 year old .

I'm not sure if i should leave them sharing 7 year old has not said to much about it. Should I just leave them sharing and only do something if the 7 year old mentions it again?

Or should I set up the spare room to make it feel more welcoming and see if he naturally starts going in there .

Also the room they share is really big. But the spare room is pretty small . So then who gers what room.

I probably will do that .

You might find if he had his own room that he wouldn't always use it, so as others have said I'd keep a second bed in the original room and put another one in the other room, and let nature take its course.

Yes i think the same. I will just keep it basic for now . There's already a bed in there just need a new mattress .
