I shared a room with my brother until I was 7. He was 9 - you can make it work for a long time if necessary [ Reply | More ]

Our home is 750 sq ft. Two boys - 18 mos apart share a bedroom that is very small. It works, but is not comfortable. I never feel there is any adult space. My oldest is now 6. We really need to move [ Reply | More ]
