When did you separate your kids room?

    I still don't really have plans to separate my kids, but I'm wondering if maybe I should do it before we switch to toddler beds? I was with my sister until 5, at which point we asked for our own rooms, and it's what i want to do with my kids, but I don't really want to make everything else harder because of it... DD hates waking up alone and I think she wouldn't like sleeping on her own either, even though it's a bit of a pain right now because they both end up crying if for some reason one of them wakes up at night and we have to go in (their cries don't wake the other up, but us going in does :headbang: ). It's hard to put them in bed nowadays too (DD's been crying at bedtime) and I don't really want to mess up their routine either, so waiting until they ask seem the smart choice right now, lol.

    When did you do it and how did it go?

    Another question is when do you stop bathing them together?

    A&R are still together for both bathing and sleeping. I don't have the room to separate them and the few times I've tried to separate them for baths, the other one strips off all of his/her clothes and runs into the bathroom. They have a lot of fun together in the tub, so I'm cool with that.

    We switched them a few months before they turned 5. They sleep a lot better!

    Our two still bathe and sleep together. I think they'd get really upset if we tried to bathe them separately. They both love bath time so much and love playing together.

    As for their room- they are in toddler beds now. (Cribs converted to daybed anyway.) We have another room we could use if we have to, but it would be a PITA. They love being together though for now. We'll separate them when they ask probably.

    we have 4 kids with 2 bedrooms between them. We switched them into boy/girl rooms just a few months ago. That means that my older kids 11 y/o dd and 9 y/o ds slept in the same room until about 3 months ago.
    My younger 2 still bath together at times and they will be 5 in Nov.

    Naomi and Luke still share a bedroom and have baths together. They're 6 1/2.
    They just got bunkbeds at the beginning of this year, and they love having them, so I'm thinking they won't want separate rooms for a while yet.
    Baths they still have lots of fun playing together. It's much quicker/easier to bath them together as well so that's a bonus. I would imagine that they will stop bathing together in the next couple of years (if nothing else they will run out of space by then).

    My two still share a room & a bath. I don't plan on separating them into separate rooms until they ask me. I figure they will eventually want their own space, until then I am happy for them to be together.
