I shared a room with my sister, and then I ended up trading rooms 3x with other siblings. We shared/traded hehe. I say make them share!!!!

I think that what is lacking today in society is emotional maturity. People who should have matured at around 13 or 14 aren't maturing until around 16 or 17 nowadays. What's slowing it down you say? Not having to SHARE for one. Sharing a bedroom, sharing chores, Sharing caring for an animal or an animal's grooming, feeding, etc. Children need maternal type tasks given to them, and sharing a room is maternal. It makes them bond with another human being after all. Hopefully, the bond is a good one. I do say limit the bond to the same sex. The only reason I say this, is because children are curious, and experimenting with the boys key on a girls lock is natural if you let those 2 share a room (plus it's illega to let boys and girls sharel in some places hehe). Awe heck, I won't even let a boy and a girl go into a bed room alone together, or if they do they get a holler from me to come right back out. I witnessed first hand, just how curious kids are while watching relatives spending too much time in a bedroom alone with each other. EWWW I don't ever want to see that again. Thinking about Uncle Daddy scenarious gets me all naseous. LOL

Yes, I shared a room with my sister. We loved it until we were teens, and then we wanted our privacy.

I think it's good for siblings of the same sex to share a room until they are 14 or so. It's less lonely.

I do not think it is good for siblings of the opposite sex to share a bedroom, ever.

I actually started off sleeping in our living room, and then I was moved to a walk in closet which was sort of like having my own room. Once my eldest brother moved out I was moved into a room with another brother around age 13. It wasn't a big deal most the time as we were close in age and had most of the same friends. We did fight a lot because well what 13 and 14 year old doesn't? He kept me out of trouble though and I kept him out of it. In my case I think it was a good thing. I have social interaction issues, reclusive is a good word. My brother on the other hand was always a social butterfly his constant flow of company forced me to face my distaste for human company and become at least semi-capable of interacting with other people.

I didn't get my own room, room (as in not a closet) until I was 17 and I moved out on my own shortly after.

I used to sleep with my sister till age 17 or 18 and it was good and there was no problems.

Actually i think it develops some neccessary innocence and not view all females as sex objects.

And teaches us to love . a kind of innocent love thats beautiful and un contaminated

This kind of love beyond sex is Much needed for all relations even Spouses

And hey i dont say sexual love is not beatiful i love it and its extremly........

But .........

I shared a room with my sister until she went to college. She is two years older than I am, so I was 16 when she left for college. We loved it. In fact, many great memories and stories came out of that room. We were quite different but we had such a great time together with our dolls, art supplies, music...and jumping from bed to bed until we got in trouble.

I have five children. My daughters are now grown, 25/23, but they shared a room for almost all of their younger years. When I had more room, I had them split up and they were upset. So that became a playroom! I still have three at home, 14, 11, 9. My two sons, 14/11 share a room and they are like night and day. One messy, one neat. However, I hear the conversations they have at night and it's just amazing. It's bonding time.

Kids don't need big houses with huge rooms by themselves. They need family. Now with economic times as they are, this is happening because people can't afford big homes. I am a single Mom with three at home in a small home and we love it. We have our "space" but most of the time we just hang out together.

Big thumbs up for shared space!
