[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My max would be two per room.   Just a little anecdote: When I was really little my parents lived in a very tiny three bedroom. My sister and I each had our own room. Then, my brother was born. My mother moved my sister and I in together and that lasted less than a year. I was three and my sister was 22 months younger, and we could not function together in the same room (sleep-wise).  After nearly a year of horrible sleep my parents decided to move to a four bedroom house.  Best decision ever.[/quote]

+1, if you can afford it. SO's family is so weird. They had a four bedroom house and insisted both boys share through hs graduation. I don't think that is okay, especially considering they had the other rooms sitting empty! I think sharing is okay up to maybe age 7 max for opposite sex siblings and age 11 for same sex assuming you have somewhere else for them to go. The girls should always have their own room or be together with another female vs sharing with a boy, even if they are siblings.

I've known three families where the sister/daughter was molested by a brother and the parents wouldn't intervene or refused to believe it until their daughter attempted suicide. Even if they don't suffer that, it just isn't proper. Girls should have space for bras, periods, etc., and everyone deserves a private space and somewhere to sleep in peace without being disturbed.[/quote]
