Do kids nowadays not share bedrooms anymore?
My wife and I recently bought a house. It's technically a two-bedroom, but one is a massive top floor that could easily be semi-divided into shared bedrooms, plus there’s a large, finished basement.
The other day, I was chatting with someone about our new place, and they immediately asked, "What will you do if you have two or more children?"
I was honestly a bit taken aback. This feels rather silly, considering we currently have no children and none are immediately on the way. But it got me thinking: is it really that crazy for kids to share bedrooms these days?
I feel totally out of the loop. I was an only child, so I never shared a room, but my wife did for a while, and most of the kids I knew growing up shared bedrooms too.
Maybe that's just a reflection of growing up more working class, and this person has a different, perhaps "higher tax bracket" perspective? I don't know, I was just so surprised by how horrified they seemed at the idea of my two entirely fictional children having a semi-shared room. What are your thoughts?
