Those who shared a room with your sibling until you moved out… was it that bad?

Absolutely hated it, felt like nothing was every truly mine, had zero space to relax in and was always stressed, i think a lot of it has to do with being neurodivergent though and being super particular about my environment like if my space is cluttered i feel mentally a wreck lol and my younger sister was soooo messy 😭 i will say though that we have an amazing relationship now so it didn’t cause me to hate her or anything, it just really affected my mental health during the time

I hated it sometimes. But not always. And now that im grown, I especially don't regret it.

My sister and I technically had our own rooms but we chose to share mine! It is different technically having our own space if we wanted it but we were genuinely so close we wanted to be together!

I didn’t mind when i was younger ofc but as you get older you do just want your own space and privacy( boyfriends staying over ext, phone calls- just the normal teenager stuff). However, it’s not that bad and it’s definitely manageable but will also depend on the siblings relationship itself. I do think as you get older though, no one really wants to be sharing their room with their sibling when they are 15/16, but if that’s what is accessible to you, then you make do 🤷‍♀️

we lived in an apartment so it was a bit more intense than having the space that comes with a house so take this with a grain of salt but i had no privacy and was more inclined to sneak around if i knew i was doing something weird….lol. as i got older i got angrier about having to limit the decor and knick knacks i wanted because i had to consider someone else’s taste. my sibling and i are close but aren’t even as close as we COULD be the way one might assume by how much we were on top of each other 💀 i think puberty starting is probably when it’s a good time to split everyone up

I shared a room till I was a tween and that was long enough before we had a room done so we could each have our own space

My parents bought a 2 bedroom house when I was 2. Then had my brother 5 years later, & my sister was a surprise 2 years after that. They gave my brother one bedroom, my sister & I shared the other for almost 5 years (my parents turned the living room into their bedroom). They saved up to renovate our attic into 2 bedrooms. By then I was DONE sharing a room with my sister.

We have 3 boys and recently bought a 2 bedroom house. I'm hoping to convince my husband to covert the dressing room & "master bathroom" (which has a shower too tiny for us to use) into a 3rd bedroom. It makes more sense than an addition.

I shared a room with both my sisters and then when we moved I shared with the older one, we absolutely loved it and some of my favorite memories are from us both together at night or waking up and playing together etc. I think as long as you make sure everyone has their own space and place to put stuff then it's fine. I'm soon to have 2 children and they will be sharing a room.

When they're little I think it's fine but once puberty starts they need a bit more privacy. I wouldn't be having more kids than we had bedrooms (without intending to move) as I don't think it's fair. You can't have 18 year olds sharing a room!

I loved sharing a room, in fact until now as an adult, I wouldn’t want a room alone. I’ve shared with my 5yo sibling and with my 10+ yo sibling and I would say it matters coz with older sibling you get more peace since everyone’s doing their own things. With much younger siblings, there’s never really peace and quiet, but the good thing is that they usually don’t hang out in their room throughout the day. I know my sister never liked sharing, so it’s really all individual preferences
