I have 3 boys and we live in a 3 bedroom house. My wife and I have the master and the younger two boys shared while our oldest had his own room.Recently we got a new TV for the family room and were going to sell the old one. We don't allow TV's in the bedrooms but our oldest suggest making his bedroom into a hangout spot where they can go when they have friends over and moving in with the younger boys. We haven't officially moved him yet but he's been bunking with them in the bigger room and we allowed him to setup the TV in his old bedroom.It seems to be going well and we were going to move his bed to their room. It's a good sized room and they have a bunkbed, so we would just move his single bed in and set up the pullout couch and futon in his old bedroom. It's nothing that can't be undone. The same restrictions on gaming time would apply and the boys are all involved in sports that keep them busy. They never fought over the other TV even when that was our only one. It's mainly for weekends when one or all have friends over.Are we missing any potential issues? The oldest will be 15 soon and everyone talks about how they really need their space but he doesn't mind sharing and isn't a super private teen. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2CROG2w
