How many in one room!?

[shortlegss]

Hello! Thought this was the best board to ask?

We have two boys age nearly nearly 3 and nearly 2. We would love a third, but we are living in a 2 bedroom terrace and don't want to move - at least not til they are bigger and/or we are better off!
We can't afford 3 bed prices and we love our house. It's got a biggish living room, two equal size bedrooms, smallish bathroom, small kitchen, hallway, garage is separate (in a block of garages). My fancy Mummy friends call it 'sweet', 'cute' and 'an okay size actually'...

I don't know if I'm worrying because everyone I know round here seems to live in mansions?! Are we being totally impractical? The boys share with space and have built in wardrobes, we're not a very cluttered household and we wouldn't be trying til next year (so boys would be 4.5 and 3.5 by the time baby arrived).
What do you think?! 3 in one room?

I had my oldest 3 boys in the biggest room and my youngest 2 (a boy and girl) in the box room, with their toys in the living room, as only enough room for the beds. Worked well, as oldest (11-15 at the time) had space away from the little 1s and got on well with each other. They all stayed like that until oldest went to uni. Now have a extension, providing an additional bedroom, along with less children still at home full time, but youngest 2 want to continue sharing. Still only 3 and 5 though.

I have a massive room for my dc which is split in the middle with a false wall so have 2 oldest dd's in bunk bed on one side and 2 oldest ds's in bunk bed on other side while my 3 youngest share a room.

V interested in this too. Would absolutely love a third but concerned about space too. We bought our house 6 months ago. It's a 3 bed semi except they turned the 3rd small bedroom into a large bathroom upstairs- so now only 2 bedrooms upstairs. My ds and ds share the larger room (ages 4 and 2). We'd love to extend but don't think we'd have the £££ for at least 5 years.

Funnily enough the family we bought from had 14 kids!! 9 boys in one room.. 5 girls in the other room. Parents shared the small bedroom that became the bathroom. And we feel we need to extend with just our 2 little ones!!

14 kids?!! In a 2 bed house and here's me coming on this thread to find out how to fit 4 in a 3 bed house.
Obviously I'm not trying hard enough!

4 bed, 8 kids.

3 near teens in the largest room, 3 middlies in next biggest, 2 pre schoolers in smaller room, dh and me in smallest. Lots of other rooms for privacy/study/break out space but sharing works well for us.
