Aibu to make all my dc share abedroom when they don't all have to? (They all like the idea)
We live in a 3 bedroom house with 3dds aged 6 and dtds are 2.7. At the moment dd1 has the big 2nd bedroom and dtds are in the 3rd bedroom which is a small double in size. The original plan was to swap so dd1 has a high sleeper in the smallest bedroom and dtd share the 2nd bedroom.
I'm wondering if it would be better if all 3 girls sleep in one room and the other room is more of a cosy den with books and for homework (plus somewhere they can sleep if ill or used as a guest bedroom). Is this a daft idea?

Go for it! We had all 3 in together till 8/5/3 then dd1 moved out shortly followed by DS. It was very good - no one wondered what everyone else was doing after bed time!

I also reckon it's why they can share on holiday if the need too (I can hear the shocked intake of breath- mixed gender teens in a room.... Terrible! Lol).

Theas do people really object to mixed-gender teen siblings sharing a room on holiday? I always shared a room with my brother on vacation.

we had the same set-up as children for a couple of years. I was really upset when we lost the playroom so my nog sister could have her own room

that'll be big sister

I shared a room divided by large bookshelves (for visual privacy) with my (2years younger) brother until I was 15. I yearned for a room of my own and was extatic when I got one.

It sounds like a good idea to me, you like it, they like it so nothing to lose really.

Eurotrash we've had. Bit of pearl clutching lol. We just smile!

My 5 yr old and 2.6 yr old requested to share a room! When they don't have to.. When I asked the 5 year old if she wanted her own room she got very tearful and begged me not to take her sister away!

Suits me fine! They use the other room as a playroom as it's on the same level as our living room.

my friend did this with her children their other bedroom has toys their tv games console and bedroom is just for sleeping in , she says it was the best thing she did as her Dc were not sleeping to much distraction

you can always put the twins in the other room when you feel they are to old to share

Go for it, you can go back to the original plan when your oldest starts to want some privacy and her own space. I have 2 and one on the way, in a 3 bedroom and will be doing the same as you; all 3 in the one (really big tbf) bedroom with a playroom/den for them to relax and play in. When my oldest wants his own space I'll be putting a high bunk bed in the 3rd room for him.

My three, aged 6, 4 and 2, have just moved in to one room at their own request. Previously they had a room each (though DC3's was tiny). It works really well - they love sharing, DC3 goes to sleep better with siblings there (previously needed me to go to sleep). One of the bedrooms is now a play room with all their toys etc. in - it's great, because the bedroom stays tidy which is more relaxing. The other one is a bit of a box room, but may do something with it later.

Depends. Privacy/personal space is unlikely to be an issue at that age. IME to big question is whether they're likely to sleep sensibly if they're all in together.

dtds already share so are used to sleeping like that and dd1 is very sensible and more likely to tell the other 2 to shut up :)
