What age should a boy and a girl stop sharing rooms?

Question

I have 2 yr old twins - a boy and a girl. What age do you think they should have seperate rooms?

my 4 yr old has his own room and my 4 month old has his own. we have plenty of space in our house and have 2 extra bedrooms anyways.

Should I give them their own room already?

They are very close. Best friends really. I asked them if they wanted their own rooms but one day they do and the next they dont. Would it hurt them to have seperate rooms or should I wait another couple of year?

Answer 1

if you have the rooms then give them there own room

they are going to want there own space eventually

might as well give it to them now then later

can you help me out?

Answer 2

I think it's ok to share rooms until the age where they start to learn about s*x and begin to have crushes. That can become awkward when the girl wants to gab to her friends about the cute guys at school, ya know? So I'd say 8 or 9.

Answer 3

I think you could wait until they are 10 or when they start geting curious about the opposite s*x

Answer 4

Now might be a good time to start the seperation. I know in some states and countries they have age limits. I know in Canada you can't have the opposite gender sharing the same room over 5 years old.

If you start the transition now.. you will have sometime to help them adjust..then again they might be ok w/the seperation. Can't hurt to give it a try! Good luck!

Answer 5

Wait at least another year or so.  They can share a room as long as they are comfortable.  When one expresses a desire to have their own space, accommodate it.

Answer 6

They should be in seperate rooms by the age of 5 years.  CPS says that children of opposite s*x can't share a bedroom after they are 5 years old unless it is just during visitations or vacations.

Answer 7

At age 2 I dont think it makes much difference. If they dont want seperate rooms i wouldnt push it. By age 5 or so they should be in their own rooms. I would say when they become interested in sexual differences and start being more aware of the gender differences its time for seperate rooms. Until then i would let it be how they wish.

Answer 8

If they enjoy being together, let them stay in the same room a while longer.  But I think by 3 or 4 they'll start wanting their own rooms.  Your daughter will want to decorate everything all pink and cute, while your son will want baseballs or action heros or dinosaurs or whatever he's into.  Certainly by the time they start kindergarten and start bringing friends home, they'll want their own space to play barbies or hotwheels with their pals.

Answer 9

Just let your kids decide.  They will let you know when they want to start having their own privacy.

Answer 10

i dont see any harm in another year or two? my brother and sister twins r almost 3 nd shar and prolly will for a year or two

Answer 11

By around 8, the girl will probably want to be independent and have her own room. She'll hate the idea of being forced to share a room with an immature boy, and will want her own pink, frilly room. Unless they express a desire to be in different rooms, i don't see what's wrong with them sharing.  Twins have a special bond, and gender differences won't become apparent until around 5.  Five is the age at which you should first consider it, because(unless they want to before that) younger they will probably be scared about being on their own.

Answer 12

maybe wait until they decide they want there own rooms.

Answer 13

I parted from my sister when I was 10. 4th grade.

Answer 14

Twins need to be with one another. I would say even as old as 10 years would be o.k.

Answer 15

i think its ok now.. but maybe when they get to be around kindergarden..that would probably be good.

Answer 16

it should never happen, let them have there own rooms

Answer 17

2 years old isnt a big deal. they seem to b very close and seem to b very good friends so maybe you should keep them together, but i would allow them to get their own rooms when they begin school, like at the age of 5 they will then realize that they dont want to share one
