That's interesting. While I was used to having my own room at home, I enjoyed sharing my room in sem and I never wanted a separate bedroom when I was married

Not to derail, but curious. Keeping this PG, in those years after intimacy did you sleep in the same bed/room or one of you retreated to the other room?

This made me wonder.
I have two girls and that is probably how my family will stay.
I purposely put them both in the same room. I want them to learn to live together.
We have another room that is empty and is used as a guest room/study.
Should I rethink this?
Of course there is friction between them at times.
Am I depriving them of something good? |
How often do you use the guest room/study? If infrequently, then it probably is best used as a bedroom. If daily then it makes sense to keep things as they are. You say your guest room is empty. Does that mean it is hardly used? Our study is the main room my DH and I hang out together as our bedroom next to it is tiny. There is no bed in our study so we couldn’t easily consider it as another bedroom.

It really depends. I am the only girl, so I always had my own room while my brothers shared. Right now I have all boys. They currently all share because they love it, though I sometimes have to separate them if they're keeping each other up too late. My youngest used to have his own room as a baby because I didn't trust the older boys not to wake him. Now he's three and he still technically has his own room but usually chooses to sleep in the "big boy room". It's super sweet. I do think my oldest might want his own room when he hits teenage years, but we'll see.
