For how long did your twins share a bedroom?

[UntamedShrew]

I have non identical boys, aged nearly three.

We are trying to decide between a four bedroom and five bedroom house (we also have DD and my parents visit a lot) but just can't tell if we will need room 5 in the time we plan to be there.

We plan to live in this house until we move out of London, when the boys finish primary school so aged 11.

Just wondered therefore what was normal / average for same gender twins? They share currently and wouldn't have it any other way at present but they will be in separate classes when they start school at four so who knows how things may change then.
Thanks :)

Mine just stopped sharing and were four in January, but they are boy / girl. If we had same sex twins they would definitely still be sharing, we only moved them as also have a six year old boy so have put the boys in together now.

We have a four bed house and would much prefer a five bed! We like to keep our fourth bedroom as a guest room / junk room etc, but would love to be able to put the boys in separate rooms when older.

Mine are G/B twins and are three, they are still sharing and we have no plans to seperate them yet.

B/G twins again here but we separated them when they were 4 on the grounds of extreme fighting . We couldn't take the hours of 'he did it' 'she did it' every night. They told their teacher that they had new bedrooms and she said was it because they were growing up. DS cheerfully told her, no it was because they fought too much.

It has been quite handy when they started school as one often is more tired and wants to go to sleep and the other isn't, separating them lets them get on with whatever they feel like without tears.

I have 4 year old g/b twins, we only have a 2 bed house no way on earth we can ever afford to move. Their room is quite large so have kind of divided it into his and her sides. All works OK and they get on really well.

My id boys have just turned 6 and never mind separate rooms they still share a bed! I hasten to point out the room has 2 perfectly identical single beds, this is their choice (they call the one they don't use their 'spare bed'. Because of space available they will have to stay in the same room for at least another 3 years.

On the other hand my cousins non id boys chose separate rooms at age 7 - one wanted to but the other didn't.

I think there is no harm in them having to share, especially if the room is a reasonable size. Ideally they would be able to decide but not always possible.

My B/B twins still share now at aged 10.

There is room for them to have seperate rooms if they want to but so far they have chosen not to.

My B/B twins are 8 and share, any attempt to separate them has met with flat refusal. they insist the beds are about 2 feet apart and no more.

I'm really glad all the BB twins like sharing. Think it's really nice for them and could save us tend of thousands of pounds ha ha

We have 4 yr old b/g twins. They still happily share although we have the space for them to have a reaonably sized room each.

B/b age 8 still share. They prefer to keep the spare room as a playroom.
Up until about a year ago they used to have their beds pushed up together and they would sleep facing each other. They've only ever had 3 nights apart when they were newborns and one was in SCBU and the other was on the ward with me.

Mine shared until last year when they were 10 and we could afford to extend our house. They still kip in with each other now and then though.

I am a 17 y/o fraternal twin (b/b), have always and still share a bedroom. Don't let your children (AND YOURSELF) suffer like I have PLEASE.
