[quote=Anonymous]Get rid of the dresser/desk in the small room.  It's better if the kids are doing homework at the kitchen table anyways.  Don't know if you can do this, but maybe a dresser in the hall.

Talk to the boys re who will take the smaller room.  Let's say Bryan takes the Big room and Sam takes the Smaller room.  Sounds like the smaller room will be totally private, but the larger room might not be because some of Sam's clothing etc. will be in Bryan's room.

So, there is the bedtime need--argues for younger boy taking the smaller room because there will be no interruptions when older boy goes to bed.

However; older boy might want smaller room because he's older and wanting privacy.

Ok let's say my assumption is incorrect and there will be none of Sam's belongings in Bryan's room. Then unless both can agree (and not be bullied into agreeing) as to which room each wants, I'd flip a coin and say they can switch in X month.

I don't think it's fair to just assume younger son should take the crappier room.  That just reinforces many older children's idea that they are the main event and their sibling is an afterthought or second-class.[/quote]
