2 children in a 2 bedroom house

[xxChazxx]

Hi, so just looking for some advice or opinions really .....

So me and my husband currently have one child who will be 4 in March but we'd like to have another. We always said we would like more than one but we currently live in a 2 bedroom house which is decent sized, we have a garden and our little boys bedroom is a nice size.

So my question is... is it ok for children to share a room these days? I know it probably sounds silly lol but when I was a kid everyone seemed to share rooms, but these days everyone I know seems to have their own room. I don't want to put off having another child just because of this is my thinking but is sharing ok for a while?

Background: we are currently renting and we don't really want to move, we're right next to our sons nursery and soon to be school and we live 2 doors away from my mom! The situation is that the lady who owns the house has said if she ever does sell she will give us first refusal, if that happens we would save to put an extension on the house to create another bedroom, but of course when and if that will happen I don't know.

So predicament is would it be fair to have another child if it meant sharing a room until the situation changes? I've also just turned 30 and while I know that's still young I don't really want to wait much longer LOL or leave too big of an age gap either 

TIA!

When they're younger, it's fine. When they're older they tend to want their own rooms. IME.

We have a 3 bed house, but my daughters chose to share when we moved house. My DD once said to me that she felt sorry for children who didn't share, because mummies and daddies have each other, and she had her sister, but didn't children feel lonely on their own??

Of course, when children get older they want their own space, but by then, you might be in a different position. I'd say my children are closer because they shared a room when they were little. They did everything together, and now they're both teenagers, they still have frequent sleepovers together. They only just had one last weekend!

It’s absolutely fine for small children to share a room.

It is absolutely fine for children to share a room, but obviously if they are different sexes they will need separate rooms after a while
