Question about children sharing a room

nadnad

OP - incest isnt going to happen just because two kids share a room! as previous poster as said - most kids are repulsed by idea of one another!

As I've said repeatedly, they don't have to share anyway!

Please get of your high horse you don't know my friends situation and believe me it's not good one, i was only worried if it was legal so she doesn't get in trouble but i do think it's morally wrong but that's just me.

The kids seem ok with sharing atm but i was just a bit worried for my friend i didn't want her getting in trouble.

Not on a high horse! Your friend may not been in an ideal situation whatever it is, but what has that go to do with her two kids having to share a room If she is already in council accommodation then they would have never placed her where she is if it wasn't legal? I can't see how she would be getting into trouble because a boy and girl share. That's absurd!

Yup like me

i own my home .. well it's morgaged but you get the point it was bought when i married my now ex-husband before we had kids, shoe box .. 2 up 2 down, 1 bedroom and a tiny box room not big enough to fit a bed in.

12 years later im still in it, with my 2 boys .. 3 of us share one room, with some wardrobes and a freezer in the box room.

Sometimes i think i would be better giving up the house and going to the council, but i worked hard for it, it's not much but it's mine.

I've thought of moving and each year it becomes more desprate but i can't afford another house, no company in thier right mind would give me a bigger morgage, besides i can't afford to pay more than i'm currently paying even if they did, so im pretty much stuck.

It's really hard because my eldest will no-longer bring friends home because he's embarressed that he shares with his mum, but it's getting worse my youngest still shares a bed with me, and it's reaching the point where im seriously debating moving myself into the livingroom, by getting hold of a sofa-bed just so they have some space.

God help me if i ever got a boyfriend.

Have you thought about renting your house out, and then privately renting yourself.

I think the room is about 5ft by maybe 5.5ft, so it would need a bed custom making i think, a very narrow short one (narrow so the door still opens). I've looked at getting a custom one made for the room, but it's not fiancially viable atm, and i don't have ANY practical skills of my own, i put the curtain rail up and it's fallen down 100 times :rotfl:

i thought perhaps i could get a couple of sets of draw's (of the same height) and somehow make a mattress out of foam etc to go on the top... but it all seemed very complicated tbh i'll most likely just end up getting a sofa bed for the livingroom.

How old are your children? I saw this

but I think one of the measurements works out at 5ft 7 so you'd need to check measurements of the room. Something we once did to give ourselves an extra cm we needed for furniture in a room was remove the skirting board (we kept it so it could go back on at a later date).

Pallets cut down to size, Futon mattress- job jobbed, practical skills needed- zilch. If it's really, really teeny- consider getting someone in to fit a folding door, or put up a curtain temporarily.

blow up mattresses are great too and are really comfy because you can pump them up to just the right level of support you need. If you invest in an electric pump the bed can be made and let down in just a couple of minutes.
