And due to financial hardships that came after our kids came along we haven’t managed to obtain a bigger house so our 15 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter are sharing a bedroom. That by no means says that they see each other unclothed!!!! They NEVER change at the same time, and they MOST CERTAINLY don’t shower together! So you’re saying that on account of financial troubles our kids could get taken away, when it’s otherwise a happy home????? How very awful that would be!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-28864953997580655022019-02-07T16:31:57.260-06:002019-02-07T16:31:57.260-06:00None of the posters are advocating for each kid to...None of the posters are advocating for each kid to have their own bedroom. For privacy purposes there comes a time where male and female siblings should have their separate spaces. The Bates family divides by gender as does the Duggar family. It is just a question of when it is most appropriate for the boy(s) and girl(s) to have their separate spaces. <br />Sharing a room during vacation is temporary, it would raise eyebrows if an 18 year old male had always shared a room with his sisters 2 and 5 years younger. I don't necessarily think it is neglect or abuse but that it is unfair to the children who are dealing with varying stages of development as well as changing bodies and emotions. 18 is a very different developmental point than 13 especially when you're going through different experiences. I would feel bad for a 15 year old high school aged boy having to share a room with his 10 year old sister. Have as many kids as you want just think about their physical and emotional development.

When I was a teen growing up, I would have been mortified to share a room with my brothers. I wouldn't have liked it even as a younger child. IMO, if you cannot accommodate different spaces for the males/females in your home, it stands to reason you should rethink having any more children. There comes a point where mega families should ask themselves if having so many kids is more for their own selfish gratification, rather than "God's will."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-68182743235057986262019-02-07T14:56:19.660-06:002019-02-07T14:56:19.660-06:00So precious!

Bedrooms can be just that...a room with your bed where you sleep. If I had extra rooms I would separate my kids but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t let that dictate whether I should stop having children or not. I don’t know where you live, but CPS in our state has no right to investigate that matter as it is neither neglect nor abuse.

I've worked with CPS (Child Protective Services) for years as a therapist and things like this can be "checked out" if need be. If you think about it, really what normal healthy teenage boy wants to share a bedroom with his younger sister and vice versa. Uh this is a no, no. Makes me wonder about the mental state of parents/caregivers who think otherwise. CPS would not condone this. Does that mean they should take showers together too then? I should think not. Where do you draw the line then? I know personally where it's drawn. God bless!

That is a very weird comment. My son was 7 before we were able to move the younger girls together so he could have his own room.

There is nothing weird about it at all.smpalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190768687849572799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-50815323576443202782019-02-06T06:51:07.955-06:002019-02-06T06:51:07.955-06:00I love that Erin’s CD will be all piano.
