? For MoM's of older kids...

Just curious if your older multiples share a room? We are seriously considering buying new house, but only has 3 bedroom so 2/3 boys would have to share. Are we nuts for considering it???

My boys will always share a room. Even if we were to move, I doubt we'd be able to afford or find a 4-5 BR house in our neighborhood, so yeah, they'll always share.

mine share a room and probably will forever.  nothing wrong with that IMO.  of course it would be nice if we had the extra space for them to have their own room...but I figure sharing a room will have them prepared for living/sharing with others wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy in the future when they go away to college, rent an apt with a roommate, etc....

My DDs share a room and likely will as long as they can.  We technically have space for 4 or 5 bedrooms, but only 3 bedrooms are upstairs and the other are in an apartment in the basement, which I'm not comfortable having kids in for quite a while.

Mine also share a room and I don't expect this to change. We have a 4 bedroom house, so they each could have there own room, but they have always been together and I don't see them wanting their own rooms. I also like having the guest bedroom so my DSS has a place to sleep when he stays with us 2 weeks a year.

No, not nuts at all! My two oldest sons share a room and my twins share a room. They sleep just fine because they are used to having one another in the same room. We have 8 people in a 4 bedroom house and we aren't moving...ever. Eventually we'll get bunkbeds for the twins when they're old enough and that'll free up a lot of floor space in their room. Thankfully we have a ton of storage in this house!

My girls have shared their bedroom for five years now, and they're a whole five years apart in age. My boys will likely share a room until both our girls move out, which won't be until they're hitting high school. Even then Dad might make them keep sharing so he can have a retiring den lol

Ours share, and will continue to unless it becomes an issue at some point. We do have enough room for them to have their own rooms, though. If I were in your place, I would probably try to hold out for a 4-bedroom house unless there is a den or someplace that could possibly be converted to a bedroom if need be. I guess I'd just be worried that the twins would feel like they don't have the "privilege" of having their own room, while their brother does.

Ours share. We will have enough space for everyone to have their own room if need be when that are older. We are probably going to keep all 3 in one room while they are little for a while.

Mine share a room and honestly, won't separate.  They get too scared if they are in their room by themselves!  I would love to have the option and sure, there are nights when the chatter is more than I would like.  But, for the most part the chatter and the sweet chats at night are so precious and the best part about having a sister I think.
