How to have my own room


Entries

I'm 25 and i share a room with my teenage brother! 8 months ago

I don’t pay any rent, which I am lucky for, but what is unfair is that my 24 year old sister gets her own room. Since she is so high-maintenance/demanding, my parents decided that she gets to have her own room. I feel like this is rewarding bad behavior.

My bro is a pretty good roomie, except that he leaves socks all over the room and if I am studying, he keeps knocking and asking why i locked the door, what am i doing, did i see his shorts, etc etc.

So….I really want my own study space/bedroom. I have already imagined it. Spacious, clean with nice crisp linens on the bed. In the corner, I would have an L-shaped desk with a white board on the side. I would have a drawer full of nice pens. On the side wall, I would have a really big closet, with all my clothes organized and hanging neatly. Also I would have a comfy egg chair and maybe a small couch if the room was big enough. And flannel throws for comfiness.

Ahhh…I hope that I get a well-paying job soon :|

for privacy



its lonely 16 months ago

so im turning 15 this year and i have been sharing my room since i was born with my now 18 year old sister.
Its hard at times because of space but me and my sister put our beds right next to eachother and when we sleep sometimes i pull my hand over on her bed and hold her hand, its calming. we are both close but now i think she might be moving out. I cant wait to have my own room but i feel would also be lonely, no one to hold next to me when i need them. it makes me sad. shes been to camp lately so ive been sleeping in our room alone. getting that feeling i would if i had my own room.
in daytime i would love having my own room…but at night, i just like my sister being there. if something happens or if i have a bad dream, i can always reach other and hold her hand. =)

It’s pretty nice at first. I mean sure, if you have your
own room that means you have your own privacy and you have
a nice place to go to when you need to. But, the down side
sometimes is, well, it does get lonely sometimes.
But as for me, having my own room rocks! :)



I need personal space 2 years ago

I’m 21 years old and shared a bedroom with my identical twin sister all my life.

Just 2 years back, my parents intended to renovate the house and asked if we would like to move into different rooms since my brother was getting married and moving out. At that point of time, my sister and I were very very close and shared many of our belongings such as clothes, books, collectors’ items. So, we chose to continue our state of sharing room, naively thinking that we will get along very well. The extra room was renovated into a very nice studyroom.

In just 2 years time, I think both of us matured and grew up, until the point when we started quarreling over personal space. I find myself getting more and more intolerant of having to tolerate her lifestyle which, though is still largely similar to mine, still differs ever so slightly. Sharing a room for so many years, I understand that we have to give in to each other at times, but I’m starting to get pissed off for all the efforts I put in which she did not reciprocate.

For example, she tends to sleep in in the morning, while I wake up about 2 hours before her. To not disturb her sleep, I’ll move my notebook out of the room and use it in the living room and try my best not to interrupt her sleep by entering the room before she wakes up. But I still do enter the room to pick up some items sometimes inevitably, and she will blame me for the noise I make entering and leaving the room, completely missing the point that the reason I make all those noise is because I’m trying to not to disturb her.

Example 2: Also related to sleep, is that she tends to be unable to sleep after 12am in the morning, so even when I’m still wide awake and would be happy to stay up even later, we have to off the lights and go to bed. I do have a lamp on my desk but she can’t tolerate even a dim light or typing sounds from the notebook I use.

Example 3: I’m not sure how to phrase it, but she tends to control the music going in the room. She never uses the earphones while listening to music on her desktop, and only reluctantly when I remind her to because I can still hear her over my own earphones.

Example 4: She throws her stuff on my desk. Take in consideration that my desk is already half the size of hers.

I used to not mind any of these things, but recently, it’s just starting to irritate me more and more. It’s impossible to own my own room since there are no more spare rooms, and I’m not really that loaded to get external housing.

I just wish to have a little personal space for myself. Somewhere I can control what I listen to, what time to sleep and relax in it with my notebook computer instead of moving around the house with my notebook like a nomad.

I’ve had to share a 9×14 bedroom for my entire life, with my fraternal twin sister. The only thing we have in common is our birthday. We look completely different, have completely different taste, and worst of all I lean more towards OCD while she likes the post-hurricane New Orleans look. She’s basically a totalitarian while I make Gandhi look like Hitler with a gun in a room full of Jews.

I really, really hate it. I have no privacy, the room’s always a mess, she’s always using and breaking my stuff. To top it off, my parents set up the room and I can’t customize it. So now we live in a fricking Creamsicle, and my dad hates tape so no posters.

I’d be okay with a hole in the wall and a mattress, if it had a door with a lock and was my own.

If I have kids, I’m giving them their own space.
