[quote=Anonymous]I’m a single parent with a 4yo and 2yo in a 1-bedroom.  The kids share the bedroom and I sleep in the living room.  In my experience the kids don’t want their own rooms ever (I assume they will want them by late elementary though); they would be happy if we all shared a bed I think.  My 4yo especially hates sleeping alone and the brief period where she had her own room and they baby was in with me she came and crawled into my bed most nights which now only happens when she’s sick.

Now, *you* will want your privacy back sooner.  I feel like before 2 kids are so dependent privacy doesn’t feel necessary but around 1.5/2 they start being independent and having opinions and I start wanting to respect their privacy even if they don’t understand the concept yet.

That being said, I’m moving this summer and plan to buy a three bedroom house that will last us through the teen years if necessary; I know I valued my privacy as a teen and really appreciated my own room.  But for little kids?  You’re fine in a small place.[/quote]
