When should different sex siblings stop sharing a bed room

From birth, twins go from "wombmates" to roommates , as many parents of multiples find it most convenient to establish a single nursery for their infant twins, triplets or more. One bedroom houses all the cribs and one closet contains dozens of cute infant outfits. While that can be a wonderful solution for babies, many parents begin to consider the potential benefits of putting their kids in separate bedrooms once they grow older. Same-sex twins are often more likely to share a bedroom than fraternal multiples of different genders. Multiples born into a family with older siblings may share a space with an older brother or sister as well.

Jump to navigation. I would like to know if my 5 year old son can share the same bedroom with his 12 year old brother? There are no fast and hard rules about siblings with larger age gaps sharing a room.

How do you know this? Hence now room is spit in 2 with proper wall and door. It just seemed a very unlikely law to be in existence. If it were true then many parents would be in breach of the law simply because they're on a low income and unable to afford a bigger house! And think what pressure it would put councils under with respect to housing - there'd be some uproar if parents landed in court over the fact that their council hadn't provided them with a big enough house.
