[quote=Anonymous]We are planning a vacation next summer with multiple other families and will get a big OBX house. I'm trying to figure out how many bedrooms we need. Most of the couples have two kids, an older who we'd like to bunk in a designated kids room, and a younger/baby who will sleep in the parents' room. Right now, we have 4 "older" kids in a range of ages and the question is whether they can all manage to bed down in the same room. I've seen houses with 4 twin beds, so each child should have their own bed (or we can make pallets on the floor). At the time of the trip, they will be 9, 6, 5, and 3 1/2. They all know each other, but not well as they live in different cities. The older two seem to be pretty steady, responsible kids. The 5 year old (mine) can be willful, but I'm hoping will be somewhat starstruck by her older friends. The younger one is a great little girl but will have a brand new baby sibling at the time, and I know from experience that such things can turn a little one's world upside down.

So, thoughts? Should we consider having two kids' bedrooms? Seems like a waste of money, but it won't be a vacation if we have sleep issues. If we stick them all in one room, any tips? I was planning to suggest we put the oldest in charge and let them deal with each other (within reason, of course) on the theory that peer pressure might work better than parental threats. [/quote]
