How many bedrooms vs children do you have?

[Littlebittiredoflife]

Our children have their own bedroom (3 bedrooms/2 children). I would love another child but sadly we aren't likely to ever be able to move again. There 6 years between them and there's be at least 7 years between the youngest if I had another baby. I know in times gone by this would be no issue but I can't see how it would be responsible in this day and age for me to change that again for my eldest and risk her having to share again. I know how much it's changed for the better since we last moved. I know it's not a one size fits all approach for all families but I wondered on the ratios in your home and how you cope with it?

Never mind bedrooms, how many bathrooms do you have?

Not sure if this helps but 3 bedrooms and 1 child.

Children can share a room though.

We have 3 bedrooms and 3 children. The youngest two share a room and absolutely love it.

2DC
6 Bed, 5 bathrooms + extra loo. Totally unnecessary, but def luxury of space.

I shared as a child and frankly if I wanted a child and could afford it, bedrooms would not be my deciding point.

In an ideal world , every child gets their own room plus 1 room spare .

I have 4 kids. 3 girls, 1 boy.
We live in a cheap 4 bed house but we make it work
DD1 and DS have their own rooms. DD1 is a teenager so needs her own space while DS is the only boy.

2 years between my younger daughters and they share a room, it does cause friction because DD3 is a massive tomboy who hates anything and everything girly, while DD2 is the complete opposite. DD3 would rather share a room with her brother but i wont let her obviously.

I think kids need their own rooms especially as they get older.

I have 4 plus 2 older step kids and knew I couldn’t have my youngest untill we had a house that made sure they all they all had their own space.

3 bed, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet.

I have two children. Though one room is really a box room

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 children.

Only one unfortunately. Only toilet in the house
It...causes headaches

2 bedrooms, 2 children. If they were younger I would make them share, but for us it works (kind of) for me to sleep in the living room.

4 dc 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The youngest two are twins though which really screwed all of my clever planning.

1 adult DC away at university. 4 bedrooms - one is my office.

We often have various family members to stay so need the space.

2 bathrooms and a downstairs loo as well.

2dc (who live with me 50% of the time) …5 bed house, 2 bedrooms en-suite and a main bathrooms and a downstairs loo. One bedroom is my office and another is my dp’s den/library. I won’t be having any more dc.

My home has more bedrooms than I have children.

We had 5 bedrooms and two children.
They are adults and got their own homes now.

2 toilets but only one with a bath/shower in

5 children between 3 bedrooms (plus I have a bedroom). Girl has her own room then 2 boys sharing in each of the other two bedrooms - they are good sized rooms which helps! Lots of people now are so opposed to kids sharing rooms which makes no sense to me at all! Also have an older child living independently now but when she was at home the boys all shared (a very large room and bunks) but wouldn’t get away with that now they’re bigger! So sharing is fine but room size makes a difference is what I’m trying to say in a very long winded way 🙄😂

edited to add the number of bathrooms is nearly a bigger deal, as previous posters have said! We have 5 toilets so no issues there (apart from stupid amounts of cleaning!)

To me being able to afford means being able to afford a bedroom each. And we could afford it if I worked full time but then what would be the point in having children if I didn't get to be with them.

Technically 2 bedrooms, but we changed our 2nd reception room into a 3rd bedroom when DC were 13 and 15ish. They shared until then.
1 bathroom.

I'm just so sad we are limited due to ending up settling DC in a school in an expensive area. I had no idea when we moved here as I was pretty young. Still young enough to consider having more kids, even though oldest is a teen.

Three bedrooms and one child but plan to have one more. I’m tempted if the next one is also a girl to have them share for a while as well as the third bedroom is currently my office.

We have 5 bedrooms and 4 kids

3 bedrooms (one now used as an office for WFH for me and DH), 1 bathroom, 1 teen.

I think there’s no problem with kids sharing but that’s from the get-go. Imposing it on them when they’ve been used to their own rooms seems a bit harsh.

Surely kids need love, attention, conversation, empathy, and food. No one ‘needs’ their own room, not really.

working FT is hard yards if you don’t get flexibility.
