To think the youngest two should share?

[mumof3x99]

3 bedroom house. Planning to move to a bigger house in around 3-5 years max.

Mum & dad take up one bedroom, then there's 2 left

3 kids
1 boy aged 7
1 boy aged 2
1 girl aged 1

AIBU to think that the shared room should be based on ages, not gender?

I think it'll be more suitable for the two youngest to share the bigger room since they're at similar routines, play together more etc

And then my 7 year old son in the smaller room alone

Others keep telling me it should be the boys sharing.

My 3 and 5 share . It's great for them both. Bedtime routine easy as I only do it on e for the two of them. They like the company. I envisage separate rooms when the older one hits 8. I don't currently have a spare room so hopefully will move by then.

You are right. You have a good 5-6 years to get to the 4-bed situation.

I had B/G DCs sharing until oldest was about 8, they loved it and it was fine.

Yes it is absolutely fine and fair. 1 and 2 year old sharing is fine regardless of sex. When they're older maybe 5ish, you'll probably have to switch them out but you said you're going to have a 4 bed in the future anyway

Some girls start their periods at 9. It might work until the youngest is 6-7. Then I'd split by gender. It's not nice for a little girl who may be hormonal to have to share with her brother.

Id share until they are around 5.

I think it is fine, while little the two youngest will have similar bedtimes and routines. I don't think it would be fair on the 7 year old to have to creep in to his bedroom to not wake his brother. Which rules out reading in bed, something that should be encouraged.
