Kids Room Tips
9 year old and one year old kids sharing room good idea or not?
Hi, My nine year old daughter sometimes says she is fine with sharing room with her one year old brother but rarely says she wants her own room. I will be happy if they shared room. Obviously nine year old will have her own storage with locks and maybe some curtains which will act like room divider. What do you think is it a good idea or not? Room's length is double the width so it can be easily divided into two rooms with curtain. Thank you.

- well , if they were closer ages it may be fine but it may be a little hetick. so they curtain is a good idea.
- I say no because they usually will fight specially your daughter when your kid touches her stuff and she can hurt him.
- You should have used protection if you could not afford to give the child it's own room. I have a 9 year old daughter, and I would not even consider this as an option.
- Well maybe for another year or so but then your, now 10 yr old, will change her mind and start wanting privacy. If you need the extra room for temporary, itll be alright. If you cant afford a place for them to each have their own room, there is nothing wrong with making them share a room. Even if they dont like it- put up a divider or something and explain the room is just for sleeping anyway. It may sound cruel but kids do not have to be as spoiled as they are today and it makes them more ambitious if they are a little uncomfortable at home anyway. Just make up for it in other ways if they are that disturbed by it.
- if you can't afford a bigger place, there's nothing wrong with them sharing a room. the divider is a good idea. try to give her alone time in the room when she gets home from school by keeping the one yr old out for a few hours.
- I would say no- especially if your 1 year old still has an irregular sleeping pattern. Your nine-year-old shouldn't have her sleep disturbed when she has a school to go to, and likewise she shouldn't be waking up the baby by playing music or watching television in the same room. Separate rooms would be necessary, I feel.
