Have you noticed, too, that it is odd for siblings to share a room
anymore? We have had people ask us if we will move, or renovate this
house to accomodate the kids. We have three rooms acting as bedrooms
now, with this room (our computer, play, craft room) probably becoming
our daughter's room when she gets old enough to require a bit more
privacy. Right now, though, we have us in one room, two boys in
another, and one son and daughter in the third. The kids figure that's
just how people live, after all, Mama and Baba are roomies, so why
shouldn't they have a roommate, too?

Regards,
Ranee
