As third child of nine in total, sharing a room was paramount. Three boys in one room. four girls in another..basically we all had to get along, though some would be very talkative at night.

to the oldest in the family... never shared. I think that I was missing something!!

If you knew my sister Bonnie you would never ask..........LOL

Not really but sort of. My brother and I each had our own room but my room was kind of a pass through to his room. Kind of like an extra wide hallway more than a bedroom, just enough room for my bed, and dresser and then enough room to walk to my brother's room. So while it was technically two separate rooms we could still talk at night and stuff. Usually it was fun unless he was crabby. Sometimes we would laugh a lot at night, until we got so noisy that we got yelled at.

Again, I missed out!! My younger sisters shared and I had one to myself. BORING!!

The only time I had to share a bedroom with my sister who was 8 years younger than me was on the weekends when she came to visit my dad. Other than that I had my bedroom to myself.
Shirley B. Dec 15, 2010, 3:12pm UTC
would you have changed that practice if you could have?? (other than just the times when your sister was visiting)
connie h. Dec 15, 2010, 3:15pm UTC
It would of been okay she really did not get into my stuff too much.

I shared a room with an older sister and we got along just fine.

No, I had an older brother, but he was stationed in Germany when I was born, My sons shared a bedroom when they were very young, but when then my oldest was about seven, they each had their own room.

I did when we were younger....until 2nd grade. It wasn't a big deal. I think sharing a room gets you ready for dorm life, when you go away to college.
Rebecca P. Dec 15, 2010, 3:40pm UTC
Sort of, if camping out in the livingroom once or twice counts. It wasn't very different, we just teased eachother as always.
Diane Huizenga Dec 15, 2010, 4:40pm UTC
yes I shared with my sister and most of the time it was good.

I shared a room with my older sister most of our growing years and it really wasn't bad at all.
Adelaide M. Dec 15, 2010, 6:50pm UTC
I'm an only child so I never shared a room growing up. First experience I ever had with it was when I lived in the dorm at college(and I was in a triple). I went from having the whole second floor to myself to sharing a room with 2 other girls.
Shaunee C. Dec 15, 2010, 6:55pm UTC
Yes I shared a room with my sister sometimes unless we were mad at on another.
Larry H. Dec 15, 2010, 9:44pm UTC
there was 7 kids in the family, nothing was privet.
Carrie Marie P. Dec 16, 2010, 1:18am UTC
We had five kids in the family... I've shared a room with all of them at one point or another.. there even times where it was all five of us kids in one room.
I wouldn't call it a good or bad experience... just life.

When I was very, very little. Do not remember much about it actually. I remember our aquarium with fish in it and we had a frog :0)

For a couple years, my sister and I shared a room. We loved it!
Theresa W. Dec 17, 2010, 5:46am UTC
Thanks for sharing this with us.

I shared a room with my sister who was 22 months younger than me and a brother who was five years younger. We shared until I left home at 18. It could be fun at times but also no privacy at all. FF
michele r. Dec 22, 2010, 10:22pm UTC
Nope, I am 10 years older than my middle sister and 22 years older than my baby sister.. My Mama & Daddy were busy in their older years! LOL FF

my brother and I shared a bedroom when we were younger....but after that house we had to live in a 1 bedroom duplex.....my mom and dad, of course, got the bedroom. My brother and I got the living room--divided by our chest of drawers and such down the middle.
