I have six month old GGG triplets who currently share a room, but we are moving and have the option of having one bigger bedroom for them. Will they want to share when they are older? I would think being all girls they would, but I wanted your opinions.

Two of my triplets are identical and one fraternal.

What to do? How would I even seperate them and at what age?

my BBG are 5 yo and share a room. I think it is good for them and would love for that to continue longer. there's some good talking and giggling that goes on at night and in the morning that is probably bonding for them. and it's just good to learn how to be considerate of others and get along. but that said, we have no bedrooms that will fit 3 twin beds (they're still in toddler beds), and I don't want to do bunks for safety reasons. so we will be splitting them up sometime in the next year, but they'll be easy to split 2 boys/1 girl.

My kids are 6 and all 4 of them shared a bedroom until this summer. The only reason we separated them is because I have 2 boys and 2 girls. If they had all been the same, I would have left them all in the same room. They liked that. Infact, they will often ask if they can go back and sleep with the others, in their "old" room. We only have a 3 bedroom house, and I liked that they had a playroom. Now we have their toys in their rooms, and I really think that is a pain!

I liked having my kids together when they were little but now that they are older I really like them having their own room. We moved when the kids were 4 and gave them each their own room at that time. I debated keeping the boys together but decided against it. They sometimes have "sleepovers" with each other, but they all like having their own private space to go to when they need it. As they have gotten older, the "sleepovers" only last an hour or two, once they get good and tired they end up wanting their own beds. They have such different sleep needs and habbits these days which make sharing a room more difficult. One needs it to be dark and quiet, two like some light, one likes to listen to a story on CD as she falls asleep, and one likes to listen to music and tends to be a night owl compared to the other two. I thought I would miss having a spare bedroom for a playroom, but they always tend to play in whatever room we were in anyways.
Yours are pretty young but as they get older, you could give them their own rooms with the option of sleeping in someone else's room at night until they feel ready to sleep on their own.

This has been an issue raised recently for us. Our bbb have always shared a room. We built our house when they were 4 and debated about what to do. I thought - kids have shared rooms for eons, it teaches them to share etc and at that point, they would have been scared to be in their own room. Now - 5 years later - they periodically want their won room and we are looking at how we can re-do the upstairs for this (it is currently a big open play/TV space, their bathroom and a small office and their large bedroom - each have a separate "cubby" area for their bed.) It is a bummer to have put so much thought and effort into building only to have to re do. We will probably do it by the time they are 12 and really want their own space more. So my current thought is - as triplets they share SO much, it would be good to have some quiet space to be alone, decorate as they choose.... and I can see how important that will be as they become teens (YIKES).

Hope that helps.

My 2 identical/1 fraternal gggs are 8 1/2 years old and share a bedroom. It's a large room (I sometimes refer to it as their dorm room) with a big closet and lots of storage. I don't plan on separating them, and they've yet to request their own room. -- Gloria

We built our house 2 years ago and we have 4 bedrooms. We thought one day the girls would like to have their own room.

They are 6.5 years old and sleep together in a double bed. This is by their own choice...they started out sharing a room with 3 twin beds. When they were all trying to sleep together in one twin bed we got the castle bunkbed which is two double beds. They all choose to sleep on the bottom. LOL

I'm thinking that may be in the teen years they will want their own space but I really don't see it happening in the near future.

All five of our kids share a room (B,GGG,G). They just have so much fun in there and no one wants to move into the extra room. We are expecting number 6 soon. Once the baby grows up a bit we will seperate DS out. He will be turning 6 soon.

We bought a huge house with four bedrooms upstairs--one for each child. Fully decorated a girls room and a boys room (we have two of each). Seven years later, all four kids still sleep on the bottom double bed of the bunk beds in the boys room. Occassionally, one will sleep on the top bunk, but those bedtime parties are just too fun to miss by sleeping in separate rooms! LOL

Eventually, they will ask for their own room. I'd do it then.

I haven't posted in a very long while so bare with me. Our girls will be 6 in a few short mos. and still share a room. When we put on our second addition we made our home a 4 bdrm house. Our girls dream on what color and theme they would like their own room, but told that they would have to sleep there by themselves. They don't like that idea at all. So for now there are 3 twin beds in one rm and every night there are atleast one or two beds empty bc they are all sleeping together in someone else's bed. I've always said, who am I to seperate the bond that they have had since conception. Honestly I don't think that I could. Good luck on your decision. Reading everyone elses posts it sounds like an easy one to make.
But do what you feel is right for everyone.
