Landen and addie are young enough that they could share a room fine right now but that’ll only last so long. Lilia and addie sharing a room would probably be pretty miserable for preteen/teenage lilia, and if they each got their own all three boys would have to bunk together and that’s pushing it especially as they get older. Tommy and Caden will probably barely visit at that point but if they do that’ll be a nightmare.

I always see it like how the Australian military allocates number if beds to families in defence housing... Same sex and under five years apart is two to a room, boys don't share with girls, and siblings 5+ years apart don't share. And once the child is in high school, they get their own room. Partial custody means that child factors into room allocation. In the JesssFam house they would have: master bedroom for adults, one room for Tommy and Caden, one for Kyson and Kaden, and one each for Lilia, Landen, and Addie. It would be a freaking nightmare to find now, let alone when they each required the allocation of own rooms in high school. And rooms only have to be big enough to fit two single beds before high school (when it needs to be a single bed and a desk).
My kid's rooms are tiny, but I only have two kids (girl and boy, 4.5 years apart) and the stress of finding a defence house that would fit more kids (plus having to get a bigger car) is only the start of my desire to never have more kids.
