The room is small. Just about only big enough for the two twin beds. I’m curious about how to add a divider for privacy when there isn’t much room. I could hang something on a track, to draw back at night and puch closed during the day… But I can see that being torn down.

Something will come up, maybe.

Thanks.

I know the ages are odd. That’s why I think I should make them have their own rooms. I think the idea of a toy room is what is makeing him want to share.

We are talking about things they want in their room. Oldest is giving the most imput, but I know a few things the youngest likes. Yesterday it was suggested that we do half the room in Elmo and the other half in Starwars.

My brother or sister and I were always sneaking into each other’s beds – just because we did get along, in spite of normal sibling fighting, and it’s fun to camp out with your siblings. However, I still wanted my own room during the day. When I was 15 we moved to a house with 3 big bedrooms and one very tiny room. I took the tiny room over having to share and didn’t mind a bit.

You could put them together, and if your oldest starts asking then split them. I think 9 and 2 are kind of odd ages to share, but you have to do what works in your specific family.

The downfall is the age. My oldest if 9 and my yougest is 2. Bunk beds are what they have now, but my oldest really doesn’t have privacy because my yougest can climb up top (no ladder even). My oldest needs a place to call his own, but seems ok with the shared room.

The toy room would be VERY small, where as the bedroom would be bigger, but not by much.

Any ideas as to how I can give privacy in a shared room at that age or should I just give them their own rooms.

They do share a room now, and even sleep in the same bed, even though they have their own beds.
