Kids sharing a room

[pumpkin994]

Hello All,

I live ina two bedroom bedroom home with my dh and two ds.
So my ds's share a room ages 61/2 +3 1/2.

Does anyone have anyone have any ideas on how I can get them both to keep the room clean with out arguning with each other.

Also my older ds likes to be in his room byhimself, but I have trouble keeping the youngest out for just 10 min especially when the older one has a friend over. I know that it is the younger ones room too but sometimes it is nice for the older one to have time to himself. Any ideas on this as well?

Do your children share rooms, if so how do you work it.
We are hopeing to sell our house soon and get a bigger one so they can have their own rooms but until then they just have to stick it out.

3 1/2 is hard to keep away from the big brother. They want to do everything he does.

I have 51/2 y ds, 2y dd, and 4 mo. ds. The boys will be sharing a room as soon as I both figure out how to fit the crib in ds room and get courage to put them together. Ds1 is night owl and dd and ds2 are morning larks, so far.

Most solutions I've heard so far involve preoccupying the youngerwith you or find something that he can only do when ds1 has a friend over. I tell my ds1 to shut door to keep dd out cause she can't open doors yet.

Hope this helps :)
