[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a small home (2 bed, 2 bath condo) but I think that's too small because teenagers need some measure of privacy. You can't expect 3 teens to share a bedroom and not resent you for not trying to do better, I'm sorry. My older sister has to share a room with me when she was in a freshman/sophomore in high school and I actually think it ruined our sibling relationship because she resented me so much for it (even though I had no control over the situation).

We do fine with 2 bedrooms because we only have one kid. [/quote]

One of my best friends in high school grew up with seven siblings (Catholic family in the 1970s) in a small Cape Cod. Her parents had the primary bedroom downstairs and their bathroom was also for visitors. The siblings shared the two bedrooms and single bathroom that made up the second floor. They are one of the closest and most loving families as adult children of anyone whom I know.

Housing in general used to be a lot smaller. We did just fine. If they are going to resent you, they are spoiled and need to get over it.
