I have 3 boys(2,12,14) and right now we are living in a 3 bed 2 bath house and the 14 year old keeps complaining about having to share a room with the 12 year old that always annoys them right now they are sharing a bunk bed and in the two year olds room it's his crib and a spare guest bed and there is no room in the gradge
Hi there
I can understand why your 14 year old would want his privacy, but if there isn't the room he's just going to have to put up with it.
If you own your property you might like to think about extending, modifying the garage, or putting a summerhouse in the garden for his use.... all of these options cost money though. If you are renting, it might be worth upsizing.
Best of luck
Just a thought - could the 12 year old and 14 year old have their own rooms, on the basis that on a one week on/one week off they have the 2 year old sharing the room with them? It's not ideal but it might keep things going for another 2 or 3 years.
Hello Nate.hues,
I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
If the two older boys share a bedroom, you and your wife have one and the baby is in a room which will accommodate a guest, I cannot think of a way you could organize it better.
You could talk to the two older boys and explain there is no alternative and that they each need to agree to organize their time, space and personal belongings within the same room. One could have one side of the bedroom and the other the opposite side with an imaginary line between the two halves.
Hi There,
.
I agree with the above, if you don't have the room, there isn't too much you can do, I remember growing up in the same room as my brother and although we got on for most of the time, it wasn't always that way, The idea of them taking it in turns to share with the 2 year old may help, or a shed/summer house in the garden for your 14 year old to spend some time in away from his brother could help, not so great in the winter but he could help you build it over the winter ready for next year.
