View Full Version : I hate sharing a room with my little sisters!

Okay so I live in a family with 3 sisters (aged and 10 and 8, and 7) and one brother (he's 14) and we live in a house with three bedrooms. I'm as old as my brother (14), because we're fraternal twins (I'm a girl he's a guy) As it stands, me and my sisters have to share one bedroom, my parents get one, and our brother has one all to himself.

So right now the living situation for me and my sisters is pretty cramped. We have two bunk beds in our room, four dressers, and their isn't anywhere at all really to put stuff. Ours is the master bedroom, but it still isn't that big. In addition, it's a hassle to have to wait for all of them to change and get ready in the morning. And the fact that they're younger and I have to deal with them talking all night is really annoying, and it's hard to sleep.

Anyway, at this point I'd much rather have to share a room with just my brother because there is a lot of empty space in his room. I understand why my parents would want to keep us separate, but I feel much more comfortable around my one twin brother who's my same age then my three sisters who are younger then me and keep me up. Also, I get along with my brother much better then any of them.

So I talked to him and he said he did felt really bad for me, so he said that if I wanted to try to convince our parents to letting me move into his room, he'd be okay with it. He said "It's be neat."

So now I'm wondering if you think that this'd be okay, or at least better then having to share a room with all my sisters. Also, how can I convince my parents to let us do this?

In all honesty, I think that if you and your brother can respect each other's privacy, then it may not be that much of a bad thing. I understand your parents' reasoning behind it, for sure, and it's not conventional by any means. But it appears to me that you guys really don't have the room for everyone, and that's a bit of an issue. I think that four people in one room is definitely a bit much. If your brother is fine with it, and he understands what it would mean for you two to be living in the same room together, then I think that BOTH of you should sit down with your parents and discuss it. When he was growing up, my father shared a room with some of my aunts. Their household had six kids, and two adults, and at one point they had to just put three kids in each bedroom. And their bedrooms were tiny. Nothing horrible came of that, they were all family. It's something that especially back in the day wasn't that uncommon. So I would have you and your brother talk to your parents about it, and also tell them your concerns about your current situation as well. Hopefully you guys will be able to come to an agreement.

My boyfriend has 4 sisters in a 3 bedroom home. The girls all shared a room until "New bitch" (because the eldest has moves out), who is a year younger, demanded her own room or move in with my boyfriend in his room. The 13 year old and 8 year old were pissing her off. So, they moved my boyfriend into the basement.

I know it's probably a fun idea that you two share a room, but it's not the best. He'll have wet dreams and wet dreams, depending on the boy, can go every. where. oh. my. god. He'll have to carry his semen covered sheets, blankets, under wear and pants or you'll just get to see semen every so often. You'll have to deal with your period, feminine supplies, soiled feminine supplies and if leakage occurs, the blood spots that'll come from it. Then there's changing and getting dressed from bathing.

Maybe you could move into the basement or attic? Or if you must move into your bro's room, divide the room with a divider/curtain. You get one side, he gets another. I have no idea how you're going to convince your parents, so listen to Noirtier.

I really hate when parents have more kids than they have space for, and decide that shoving kids into whatever space there is is the best solution. My boyfriend's aprents have a tiny house, very tiny, and decided 5 kids was the best way to fill it up.

I think there's nothing wrong with wanting to share a room with your brother instead of your sisters. When I was much younger I shared a room with my older brother (year older). Tell your parents your concerns. Hopefully they will understand and let you share a room with him instead of your sisters.

Well you might not have a big convince parents deal - are you assuming you will - or do you maybe just have a kinda thought it maybe sounds ok but is not - But every family is different in all sorts of ways - its not the same thing at all but we have a pool at home - I just skinny dip with my Dad and 3 older brothers - some boys at school found out and say its weird
to be naked in front of brothers and dad - you just have to see how it all goes and thats now and future - what if you or he needed space withfriends

But anyways try it and see,

Well I think any parents will make sure that when their kids become teens they want to make sure both sexes aren't in the same room. It's more of a privacy thing, and that now you guys are teens, so especially with boy and girl in same room they think that they will want to be experimenting together. So you need to think about that, because that's what comes first into parents minds, since they were teens themselves too. And so it will be extremely hard for you to convince your parents for you to move in with your brother, but I think if both of you go to your parents and ask together you guys want to share a room together because first off you guys are twins, so your relationship is much closer than any of your other siblings, and that you can't stand being in same room with your little sisters anymore. But then you also both need to tell your parents that you both respect each other's privacy of sharing a room. So once you figured how privacy works in that room, I think you guys should be able to move in together!
