They are really just playing on their phones when they say the are studying in their rooms. ;)[/quote]

Maybe my life is different from yours...

The 14 year old should study at the kitchen table when the 6 year old is coloring at the kitchen table and the 10 year old is teaching the dog how to give high 5s in the living room right off the kitchen? Not to mention my husband telling me about his day while he cooks dinner and I'm standing at the kitchen counter going through the mail. We live in our house, and while I understand people who require their children to do homework in front of them, that has yet to be an issue for us with our oldest, and she finds the normal chaos of daily life too chaotic when she's studying. Unlike our middle child who thinks his projects need to be done at the kitchen table and everyone has to be quiet when he's thinking.

We have the luxury of every child having their own room, so perhaps if I were facing down this issue I'd be less supportive of my oldest's need for quiet study space. I think I'd go for the oldest getting her own room and the younger two sharing. I might have to revisit that later, but for a 14, 10, and 6 year old, that's what I'd be inclined to do. I'm not convinced that splitting up by sex makes more sense than splitting up by age.[/quote]
