sharing rooms

Anyone only have 2 bedrooms? We have a raised ranch and we have 3 bedrooms but one is downstairs. We are possibly thinking finishing the whole basement and we have our room down there. But for now we will have to shave a room with the new baby. If it's another girl we will switch our room and our daughters room so they can share and have a larger room. But if it's a boy I'm stumped on what to do. I prefer they not share a room so I guess we'd share with the new baby until it's old enough to have its own room. Then we'd move to the downstairs bedroom.

    We have a 2 bedroom house and a boy(4.5) and girl(almost 3) who are 20 months apart. They have shared a room since just after my daughter's first birthday. It's worked out very well! We will be moving next month and they will continue to share a room until they decide otherwise. They don't want to separate for now.

    I think until kids are older, gender doesn't matter with room sharing. Our six year old will share a room with our LO. We're changing the room to gender neutral so we can do whatever with bedding and accents

    We have 4 bedrooms, but we also already have 4 kids. Two of our boys already share a room (9&10yo) and my oldest kids- 12yo daughter and 11yo son, have their own rooms. The age gap is so big that I would rather not put the baby in one of the kids' rooms, so the baby will be in our room at first. It is very likely we will move next summer (due to dh's job,) and I guess we will just have to look for a 5-bedroom house! If we do end up staying in this house, I have a few ideas of how to create a 5th bedroom out of our 2nd living room, but I kind of feel like moving would be easier!

    Our kids shared a room up until the ages of 7, boy and 4, girl. We moved I to a new house and they've had their own room for two years. So now 9 and 6. They learned alot being together and got adjusted easily because it was always that way. Now they ask for sleepovers in each other's rooms. It is sweet they like their own space now but still like being close and sharing too.

    Thanks everyone! I'm one of 4 girls so we always shared rooms and my husband is one of 6 with only one sister so I'm not familiar with sharing rooms if they are different gender!

    Oh man...we only have 2 bedrooms and we've already got 2 kids sharing one! Baby will simply have to stay in our room until we figure something out. Possibilities include putting our bedroom in the basement, moving the girls into our room, and then baby can have theirs. OR we have been discussing putting a shipping container in the driveway and turning that into a bedroom for the girls. They would freaking LOVE having their own little "apartment."
