Bedroom Talk

is it alright to have 2 kids in one bedroom?

I know several people that have 2 kids share a room. we own a 2 bedroom house and don't want to sell and move. but we are going to be having another child. my son now is 3 years old. i hoping he will adjust to having a a baby in his room. but i wont put the baby in there until it sleeps through the night.

1. i think this is fine as long as the baby sleeps through the night. if the baby is a girl, then it would be ok for them to share a room as little kids but as they grow up they would need different rooms
2. its fine. i know lots of kids that share rooms. i did. just save some money adn build an extra room on the house.
3. The first night home from the hospital we had both kids in the same bedroom (our son is 3 1/2) and when the baby cried he announced to us "this is not going to work for me with this baby in my room." Fast forward 9 weeks, he sleeps right through her waking up in the middle of the night, she sleeps through him having a tantrum and getting sent to their room.
4. Not a problem. Probably be better off actually, at least until the oldest is 12 or so, then separate rooms, if they want them. Sometime having soneone there can make all the difference.
5. i would'nt have a problem with it .
6. If you only have a two bedroom ultimately the only solution is going to be rooming in with you until you decide to move or putting the two together. I am overdue(but that is another story) with my third and currently live in a 2 bedroom. My new baby will be in with my three year old from the day we come home from the hospital. I have definite worries about this which is why we are moving in a month but until then we will have no choice. So to answer the question, it is fine. Millions of kids share rooms. Good luck to you and congrats
7. Thats not a problem at all, if you have a girl you will need to sort something out in a few years time though as then they will need their own rooms. If it's a boy your set.
8. I don't see a problem with this at all i would have the baby in your room for the first couple of months. til your other little one gets use to him or her. if u have another boy u should have no problem sharing a room till they are teens but if a girl u may want to add on or something when she hits about 7-8 i would think
9. For sure! My two older daughters share a room they started when they were 2 and 4. It was a bit of an adjustment because they enjoyed one each others company and had some trouble falling asleep for the first few weeks. Nothing wrong with it at all!
10. For sure, I have 2 boys and that have there own room but they still sleep in the same bedroom. Bunk beds workd great. My kids are 6 and 3 and I think that there is absolulatly nithing wrong with that.
