[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter or son? If it's a daughter (same gender as you), you can absolutely share a room. my daughter comes into my room 90% of the time anyway. If you have a son, sure, you can still share but you'd probably want to change clothes in the closet or bathroom. An ex had a toddler bed in his bedroom for his daughter of about the same age.[/quote] A 7 year old on a toddler bed? OP, we did this for a while. When he was under about 10 it was fine, but then he started wanting more privacy. For us it was a way to stay in a neighborhood where he felt connected. Moving out on our own was hard on him, and staying close to school and friends made it easier. When he got to the transition for middle school he was used to it being the two of us and he was changing schools anyway, so we moved to a bigger place in a cheaper neighborhood with a middle school that I liked.
