The great bedroom debate

[rndykat]

Ok so we live in a gorgeous house in a fabulous neighborhood, pool, jaccusi, awesome view but as far as my oldest daughter is concerned life just can't be rosy because she has to share a room with her 4 year old sister. I do understand she's in her tween years and is discovering the phone and boys...her friends have become the most important thing to her...it's normal and I was just like her. Now it's true that my 4 year old would probably have more in common with my soon to be 2 year old but I don't want to rush her into sharing a room too soon. I'm really torn....even though my Mother thinks it will work out fine albeit with some adjustment. I really would like to give my eldest her own room since she and my middle girl fight like pit vipers  and I know she's just really wanting some space of her own. I should say that they haven't always shared a room, it's only been a year maybe a little more...ever since the baby moved out of our room. I will also say that both the older girls want the change.

What to do? Any advice or opinions would be appreciated :)

I think the older daughter needs her own room.  She isn't being selfish about it, she is growing into a teenager.  Teens need space.

i think that the 4 yr old and 2 yr old will be fine together. my kids are 18 months apart. one is 2 1/2 and the other 9 months. big bro loves to wake up in the morning and talk to sissy. good luck
