[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not important.  in fact, I think it's better for kids to share rooms.  It teaches many valuable life communication skills, about sharing,  tolerance, compromise.
It's been the norm throughout most of history, except for the last 50 years in upper class societies.

My 2 girls share a room, and my 2 boys share a room and I have 2 extra bedrooms.  I'm not changing it, unless something dramatic happens.[/quote]

Interesting, but I have the same observation. My two girls grew up with separate rooms. Then we ended up moving from 6K sq ft to 1,800 sq ft house and now they share the room. I feel like they became so much closer. They talk to each other before the bedtime each night, i hear them giggling a lot. In past, when they had separate room, no one was allowed to enter each other room without permission, so it was like a war zone (I saw one time one of them was staying at the door of another's sister room and asking for eraser because she was not allowed to enter).
