I have a two year old son and a six month old daughter, due to lack of space in our house I have to let them share a room, but I’m worried that they will wake each other up and that my two year old might not like the intrusion of his sister into his room. Does any have any advice? Please help!

Is it ok to let my two-year-old and six-month-old share a room?

I think this is a really positive thing and can only make them closer. Think again whne they get older but at this stage if you can get them to share peacefully is a really nice thing.

well ther is no law that says they can't until one of them turns 10 i think is it, i have five children 3 boys share my daughter is on her own and the baby is in with us still, there is up sides yes they do learn to share and play together,however they also fight over stuff make alot more mess are noisier and don't go to sleep at night and if 1 wakes in the morning he wakes the others, they would all have there own rooms if i could afford it but they will have to make do,,,because you have a boy and a girl you could try separating the room space so that they each have there own half decorated to suit.make your son feel he's doing a job for mummy by looking after his little sister at night so she doesn't get lonely ,good luck

I have five children so sharing was the only option and I would highly recommend it. They may disturb each other a little at first but they soon get used to it and I found that my children who shared became much closer. When they were older I would often find two chldren asleep in the same bed where they were reading together and fell asleep. Another plus is that if they wake up early they will play with each other rather than wake up Mum or Dad, so my advie would be Go for it!
