Sharing bedrooms
When you were growing up did you have your own bedroom?I shared with my eldest sister, 16 years older than me until she left home.
My elder (the middle one)11 years older than me, had the small room to herself, just as well, pain in the backside!
The weird thing is I can't remember where I slept before I was about 6. Cupboard under the stairs?

Re: Sharing bedrooms
We lived in a two up, two down end of terrace house, it even had an outside toilet until my parents got a grant for a kitchen and bathroom extension. Not only did I share a bedroom with my younger sister, we had a tin bath in front of the fire, I think we even shared the water

Re: Sharing bedrooms
When l was 5 and my family came to England, we shared a rented house with another family. We only had one bedroom for our family.I slept with my parents, my younger brother and sister were in another bed and my 18 month old sister was in a cot.
I remember one night, some men came and took my mother away on a stretcher and the bed was soaked in blood. They were ambulance men and my mother had, had a miscarriage at six months...
That house eventually had a 'demolition order' placed on it and my mother's boss Mr Blenkinsop the solicitor talked to Mr Bullock at the borough office and we were rehoused.
In this house, my two sisters and me shared a bedroom and my brother had his own room.

Re: Sharing bedrooms
Being the only girl with six brothers, I HAD to have my own room. It was just a tiny box room with the chimney breast making it even smaller but it was all mine and perfect to escape from all the noise! I used to feel sorry for the boys as it was a three bedroomed house and the boys had to sleep in the largest bedroom in two double beds - three to a bed.My room was my sanctuary.
