Damn, your wife wouldn’t even sleep in the same bed as you during the ‘honeymoon phase?’ That marriage never stood a chance.

I think it will be good for them in the long run in several critical ways:
-bonding with their siblings
-built in learning/practice in sharing and consideration for others
-feeling safe when they sleep
-getting quality sleep
I shared a room with my brothers my entire childhood, sometimes all 3 of us in one room at the same time. Decades later, 100s of miles apart, busy families and careers, we’re still close as can be. I want that for my kids too, and I think it started way back with shared big wheels and shared bedrooms.
I’ll admit, there are some selfish reasons:
-less disruption of sleep/sex for me
-the memories I’m harvesting out of this setup, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The little conversations I overhear. Their interactions especially with the older siblings embracing responsibility and protecting/encouraging their siblings.
The mornings I go in to wake them for school and find them scattered and cuddled up together, man, I don’t even need a sip of coffee.
All of this.
We only have a two bedroom some, so it was fortunate that my two are boys (now, men) but they are close. We did bunk beds for years, put the little one in the bottom (a double) at like a year and a half or two years.

Bunk beds?

When my oldest were 3 1/2 and 5, we moved into a new house with an upstairs and their proposed bedrooms were up there. That was difficult as our previous was a flat. They'd sleep in each others rooms and take turns between which ones and it worked out.
Now they're 10.5 and 12 and I miss when sleeping in the same room was our biggest probs.
I used to read to them when we were trying to get them to stay up there and it was also a big help. Maybe try that.

May just need to power through and definitely need to get it done before school starts.
We have discussed when we were going to do this in our house, but their bedtimes are still a little staggered and when the youngest wakes up it's always very abrupt and loud.
Know they aren't ready to be in the same room because we don't want the oldest to develop animosity towards her younger sibling.

Well last night worked for a few hours. It took a while to get them to sleep. Finally got them down at 840.
All was well until 1245 when 2 year old woke up opened the door and came to our room. Brought her back and she fell asleep for 30 minutes then did the same thing. Second time back she wouldn’t go to sleep.
My wife ended up having to take her back to the guest room and sleep on the bed with her. This sucks. It’s like having a newborn again.
Today she refused to nap again.
I guess we will try the room sharing again. But damn, we’re both exhausted. Zero downtime from this kid right now.

It seems as if this child isn’t burning enough energy throughout the day. Play hard (chase outside, climbing on playground equipment, races, etc), no evening sugars/caffeine, and 1mg of Melatonin.

That one lady gave her kid fentanyl and they never woke up.
Idk? I was old enough to remember my little brother being born. I shared a room with my other brother and he slept in my parents room for a couple of years until we moved to a bigger house and we all got our own rooms.
