Long time lurker first time poster. Everyone I talk to in rl all say no but I'm at a place now where sleeping in the lounge is an option.
I have two dc, ds who is 8 and I half week on week off with his father and dd who is 7months. I live in a small two bed unit and dd is in with me but we keep each other awake in the night, she will stir at the slightest movement I make and vice versa.
Would it be ok to put her cot in ds room?

Will she wake your ds up and disturb him?
If he sleeps soundly and doesn't wake up easily it could work.

I can Hoover his room and put washing away while he sleeps, so a very heavy sleeper. Would there be no issues with privacy ?

Do you have to go in to her during the night? Would his movements wake your DD? I'd say at 8 he's going to be rapidly reaching the point where he really doesn't want his mum walking in and out of his room randomly, he's not that far from puberty and after 8 years with (presumably) his own room he's probably not going to be happy with suddenly having no space of his own.

I have a 10yo DS and his privacy became very important to him ~8.6 with respect to his room (earlier wrt the bathroom), it was a pretty sudden switch as well.

She sleeps very well usually from 7 to 6 both solid sleepers I did think about privacy and at 8 I wouldnt think he would be keen, but the room sits empty for a week at a time and he usually climbs into her cot in my room in the mornings anyway.

I can't see a problem. I would probably give them the big room together and get a screen that can go round his area. (Bigger room = selling point to ur son). Its daft for it to be empty for a week.

Can you create distinct zones in the room? It is big enough?

I actually never thought about a partition if input him in my room now it could work but won't be able to work in his room due to the configuration. Thanks heaps
