Do your twins share a room

I have b/g twins and know that eventually they will no longer share a room. Do your twins share a room? If not, at what age did you separate them?

Hi
No my b/g twins don’t share. We had initially expected them to share but found they sleep way better on their own. Even when we go away we split them and each one of us shares with each of them if we can’t have 3 rooms.

Yes. They're 4, they're in with their 11 year old brother.
We have 5 dc and 3 bedrooms, so not much choice really.

4 year old b/g share. Probably will have to for a long time.

My boy/girl twins shared a room until they were 5. We then moved my younger son in with my boy twin and my girl twin got her own room. We’ve since moved house so they all have their own rooms now (no more debating who makes all the mess!)

My b/g twins shared until they were about 9 - we said they had to agree to separate when they were both ready. My dd claimed she was ready about a year earlier, but when it actually happened, my ds coped better!

Yes my girls twins share a room, they are nearly four. I have plans to put their little brother in with them soon just because they all want to share, and the room is huge Ds is 11 months younger than the twins.
I will move ds out when the girls turn 10. At that point the girls can decide if they want their own rooms or to still share.

I have twin boys so it's a bit different as they currently share and will probably until they go to school (when I will put them in separate rooms). I think it's personal preference but with boy/girl twins it's nice for them to have their own space (if possible).

I have twin girls. We extended our house when they were 10 to give them separate rooms. They lasted about a week and then moved back in together.

Still together now at nearly 17 😂

B/g twins here, they shared until a few months ago. They are nine. DD was keen for her own space a couple of years ago, then went quiet about it. They decided together and she 'moved out' in a matter of days. Both have been very happy about it, DD1, DH and I found it stranger than they did!

My 12 year old id girls shared until last year. They are very close, but very different, and it became clear that they needed their own space. We have four bedrooms, but the fourth is very small and was our office, so we created another office space in the garden and moved DT2 into the small room back in September. She's delighted with her little room - it's very cosy. They still hang out together and have their 'twin chats' as they call them, every evening, but they do love having their own space.

Two girls here, and they share a room. They would share a bed if we let them (DH said no as he thinks they need some personal space!). I don't think either would sleep without the other in the room.

Didiplanthis · 29/01/2018 16:29

ID boys nearly 6. Share a room with bunk beds. Probably always will do as no space to separate.

neversleepagain · 29/01/2018 21:42

My girls (5.5) share and will always have to.

nickyplustwo · 29/01/2018 21:49

My b/g twins shared until they were 8. They moved into separate bedrooms due to artistic differences (it was all about the decor!). They share on holiday, when we have people staying etc and they are now 13.

littlebillie · 02/05/2018 06:10

Mine were the same as Nicky I miss reading them both the bedtime story

DorothyHarris · 02/05/2018 10:21

My boys (2) share and probably will do until we can manage to extend our house which probably won't be for a long time yet.

Taytotots · 02/05/2018 10:24

My b/g twins (5) share. They want to currently - we did offer separate rooms. Will reassess as they grow up.

MrsScrubbingbrush · 02/05/2018 10:29

Twin girls (12.5) who still share a bedroom (their choice) and sometimes when I go in their room in the morning I find them fast asleep snuggled up in bed together.
