Answer 1

READ THE BIBLE.

Answer 2

Wow ..two sets of twins!!!  

Well I would do this:

the 10 year old girl alone

the 13 year old boy alone

the 4 year old girl with the 5 year old girl

the twins in a room with the 4 year old boy (twin)

leave an extra bedroom for the next big kid to have on his/her own

or make a playroom??

Answer 3

room 1. 13 year old boy, needs his own room as he is basically a teen.

room 2. 7 year old twins and 4 year old boy and 8 year old boy

Room 3. 5 year old girl and 4 year old girl

room 4. 10 year old daughter

Answer 4

The oldest is in their teen years and needs of course privacy as any other teen...the 10 year-old may not care about privacy but if she does then you may want to give her her own room depends on you...your eight year-old and twins of 7 years can share a room especially since they are all around the same age and can play with one another ALSO they are all boys which works out...they last set of twins can share a room with the 5 year-old since they are around the same age and will all have the same interest in toys and such...GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 5

why do you have so many kids?

I hope some are at least adopted. do you have any idea how many unwanted kids there are out there? or were all EIGHT accidents?

the problem isn't the number of bedrooms, it's the number of kids. if you can't afford a decent house with the right number of bedrooms for the number of occupants, then you have NO business having that many kids.

Answer 6

I don't know why the youngest 3 can't share - they're mix-gendered, but it's too young for it to matter.  I'm a foster parent, and I always have my youngest kiddos share a room, no matter their gender.  They have always loved it, as many sets of kids as I've had!

If you're not sure, why not let the kids decide?  

Or, my opinion:

1: 13yo

2: 10yo

3: 8yo

4: 7yo twins

5: 4&5yos

If you're adament about the 4yo boy not sharing with girls, put him in room 4 with the 7yos.  He's much younger, though, so he might bug them by being a tag-along.  I think the twins should stay together; both sets.  The oldest singles should get their own rooms, as they will be moving out of the house soonest, they physically take up more space, and once they move out the little ones can have their own rooms (except the 7yos, who probably won't want to be apart anyways).  Also, little ones pretty much just sleep in their rooms while older ones talk on the phone, do homework, dress, have sleepovers, read, watch tv, etc. in their rooms.

Answer 7

room 1:parents

room 2: 7 year old boys

room 3:4 and 8 year old boys

room 4: 4 and 5 year old girls, 10 year old girl

room 5:13 year old boy

If you have 6 bedrooms total, then give the 10 year old girl her own room too.

Answer 8

I grew up as one of eight, three girls first then five boys.  We three girls shared a room, the youngest four boys shared a room (two bunk beds) and the oldest boy got his own very tiny room because he was a neat freak and his brothers' messiness drove him crazy.

I'd give your oldest his own room, put the three girls together and then put the other boys in pairs of two depending on their personality (who gets along best) and neatness.  Twins don't have to share a room, especially if they are very different from each other.  Or put all four younger boys in a room and keep the extra room as a play room, office or TV room.  Good luck!

Answer 9

Bedroom 1- 4 & 5 year old girls

Bedroom 2 - 4 & 7 year old boys

Bedroom 3- 10 year old girl

bedroom 4 -  8 & 13 otherwise 8 year old will have to share a room with 3 boys...that could be crowded.  

Bedroom 5- I would hope is for you  

Answer 10

obviously the boy twins

one of the twin girl 4 and girl who is 5

other twin boy 4 and boy who is 8

then the girl who is 10

and the other boy who is 13

if you only have 5 rooms in all including for you, i'd put the 10 yr old girl with the oldest girls, 3 in the one room.

Answer 11

Hmmmm...

Do the kids get all 5 bedrooms? If so, then here is how I would split them up-

4 and 5 year old girl in one

4 year old boy in one

7 and 8 year old boys in one

10 and 13 year olds get their own rooms (by that age, privacy is getting HUGELY important for both)...

That is all 5 rooms being used, so hopefully that is what you meant.

Add: Don't listen to 123-GO... they are just nasty and rude. There is NOTHING wrong with having as many children as you want, bio or adopted. And it's nobody's business if they are biologically yours or otherwise-they are ALL your children, so they can just butt out.

Answer 12

boy:13 yr old is big enough to have a room for himself

girls:10 & 5 & 4 can share a room

(a bunk bed would work for the two youngest girls)

boys:7 & 4 can be in one

boys:8 & 7 can be in one
