My kids always want to sleep together too and it is NOT conducive to sleep, so I usually say no. Or, only allow it on the weekends. Every one has to sleep in their own room on school nights.

Our next door neighbors have four boys age 6 and under. My boys play next door all the time, and one day they came home indignant after discovering that the oldest 3 of those boys ALL SHARED ONE ROOM.

MAKING them have their own room and bed: just add it to the list of ways in which I have deprived them during childhood. Ha.

My suggestion is to put all the mattresses on the floor next to each other in one room. Then they have lots of space (IF they want to utilize it) and can all be together, which is beyond cute!

The image of the boys piled like puppies is too irresistable. So wonderful that they are such good friends.

I miss being here. Will try to rectify that. Your blog is always scrumptious.

My boy turns 6 on the 23rd. It seems so big!

I am just glad I am not the only family with these issues!

We had both in one room (the small bedroom) for a while as well. They liked it better. Then mommy flipped out one day and voila! separate bedrooms again. Now it’s a treat on the weekends to have a sleep-over.

I’m dying to know: Who was odd man out?

I can see it now. The boys will go off to college still unhappy and unsettled when sleeping alone. That could be a problem.

Ok, so. I, too, have empty unused beds in perfectly decorated unused little boy bedrooms.

I can’t get them out of my bed, where they end up, almost every night.

I WISH I could talk them into sleeping together in one bed…that isn’t mine!

So cute that they all want to be together! My husband and his 2 brothers, all 2 years apart, shared a room with a bunk bed that had a trundle bed too….and they slept like that for the LONGEST time (into junior high), even though there was sufficient bedroom space for each of them.
