[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Offering the teen the small room for himself (if he chooses) is clearly the best option, but not sure why people are suggesting that the teen can put whatever toys or clothes he wants into the younger one's room. Has everyone forgotten that the entire reason they need to change rooms is because the teen can't keep quiet while going in the room when the younger one is sleeping? It would be outrageous to continue to let him in AND reward him with another room just because he's obnoxious.

Sports gear and stuff like that can be stored outside the bedroom. What else does a 14 year old boy seriously need that MUST stay in his bedroom? Seems like he'd mostly want his own bed and a door that closes.

Otherwise, put a rug in the shared room to soften the noise from floorboards and tell the older one that if he wakes his brother then there would be consequences. Like needing to go to bed, lights out, at the younger ones bedtime. i.e. no more practices and homework needs to be done in the morning after he wakes up.[/quote]

Sounds like space is at a premium at Op's house so there probably aren't a lot of places to put stuff.  You've got to work with the space you actually have. The teen could keep extra clothes in his brother's room but that doesn't mean that the teen should be accessing them when his little brother is asleep.  Teen will need to plan ahead if he is going to get his stuff out of his brother's room and do it when his brother is not in there sleeping.[/quote]
