Write a persuasive five-paragraph essay on why you should not have to share a room.

Room sharing is also potentially dangerous as tired parents don't always make good decisions about, say, falling asleep next to their child which increases the risk of suffocation  Tired parents also may be prone to health issues, and are more likely to get into car accidents.Often, a shared bedroom can actually be much more comfortable, rather than isolated as a child's bedroom can sometimes be. Having your kids share a room can actually help them sleep better, with the presence of another person being a good way to learn to sleep through random and loud noises as they get older. One of the things we’ve bumped into over the past three years of the girls sharing their room is that since there is a five year age difference, there are sometimes vastly different bedtimes. As they’ve gotten older, the time gap has closed a bit and my hope is that one day they go to bed at the same time. We’ve simply had to adjust to bedtime routines to accommodate – for example, we used to read to Fiona while she was in her bed, which we now do elsewhere. Different bedtimes also have meant different wake-up times. Hannah is an early riser – often around 5:30 a.m. (which is not good for anyone) so we had to work with her to not go and shake her sister’s bed and wake her up too. This has gotten easier as she’s gotten older but when I asked Fiona for a “con” to sharing the room, this was her #1 answer. While I did say that they mostly share graciously, they fight about sharing, and taking each other’s stuff without asking…the stuff all siblings fight about. I’m quite sure that they would do this anyway, but I have noticed that most of their fighting also happens in their room. As they get older, they get bigger and so does their stuff (beds, clothes, etc.) but the room does not. We’ve had to be very conscientious about how we set their room up to accommodate growing kids. Bunk beds are in effect. Since they are such different ages, their needs for privacy are different. We do foresee a time that Fiona will crave and need more privacy then a shared room allows. What 15-year-old wants her 10-year-old sister there all the time? We are actually in the process of moving into a three bedroom condo which will allow our family a bit more room. We have decided (all of us, including the girls) that the two of them sharing a room is still the way we want to go so clearly the pros for our family still outweigh the cons. I not-so-secretly hope they always do.

You should not share a room because people need privacy
