sharing a room
i'm 13(male). my brother is 10(male).
i've shared a room with him since the day he was born. when i was 7 or 8, we switched to bunk-beds. the ladder up to the top is prety much the only place of privacy i have, other than the bathroom. my family isn't the richest in the world, but we're in a pretty good financial situation compared to others (my mom is a college professer, my dad is a newswriter). my question is, am i selfish for asking for my own room. we've been searching for about a year give or take, and have been outbid in 3 situations so far. currently we're in the midst of bidding.
sometimes i do feel selfish, because my parents are slightly older, and i feel that i'm taking away too much of their retirement funds. (this isn't exactly all for me, the neighborhood we're in now is pretty bad for them, for ex: my view from my room is at my neighbors dark green pool, 10 feet away, and theirs noise pollution from the other side from a stupid bird, which drives my parents nuts.) so am i asking for too much?

Hey-
Nah, I dont think you're asking too much, or being selfish, cause your 13 and your brother is 10 and thats like a 3 year difference, so I think you should have your own room. Thats really sweet and considerate to your parents though, you seem like your probably like a really good son to them or something so you probably deserve it!!

no if your 13 you deserve your own room. say youll move into the laundry room instead on sharing i room with your brother. i personally think that its wrong for brothers and sisters sharing rooms, a teenage girl deserve a room of her own!

try to reason with your parents. ask them what they think about it. "mum, dad, i feel i'm growing up and need my own space. I don't want to sound ungrateful but i think i'd really love a room of my own. is this too much to ask or is there a chance?" etc. and then see what they say. talk to them about it and explain how you feel. they should understand (hopefully!)

no your not aksing alot. i hate sharing a room and finally im getting my own this week. hope you get yours!

no your not asking for too much your in your teen years and you just want privacy, somewhere that you can just relax by youself and right now you dont have that due to your room and brother problems...just think of it as a good benificial thing for all of you family...good luck and i hope you find a place...

Wow you seem really mature to consider not asking due to taking away from their retirement funds. That's really sweet. First off, no it's not being selfish. Do you have other sibling other then your brother? If they have their own rooms then yuo deserve one too. You say your in the midst of a bidding... so then maybe you might want to wait to see if yopu get the house. Let your parents know that you want your own room. They might think you liek sharing with your brother so you hyave to tell them so they'll take it into consideration while looking for houses. Good Luck!

No--you are not being selfish. You are 13 and it's time for some privacy. It's not easy sharing a room with your sibling(s). Have a talk with your parents, I'm sure they will agree with you. Tell them you need privacy and you've waited a long time for your own room. I'm sure they will understand your situation. Good luck with that =)

Its not selfish, its just wanting some privacy, you're older and you just want a room you can go to when things get rough and you just wanna be left alone, thats perfectly ok. Just explain that to your parents, tell them you just want some space of your own and ask them if they would at least give it a day to think about it.
hope you get the privacy you want

No, everyone needs they're privacy. Its not selfish at all.

no, i don't think you are asking for too much, because a 13-yr old needs their privacy and whatnot. I would definitely keep going until I get my own room. Your parent's job is to make sure you are comfortable and everything. Good luck:)!

it isnt selfesh at all. a 13 year old boy deserves his own room. i had to share a room with my sister. i sucked! be really nice to your parents for like a week ask them then continue to be nice. if they say no make the bunk beds two seperate besa and hang a sheet(s)from the middle of your room for privacy and ask your brother for some privacy.

no i think it isnt selfishh everybdy needs privacy all you have to do is tell your parents that you really need it..i think you should ask for your own room, and if your not going to be moving try to compromise with the place you have do you have a basement or an attic or something? xOx risSii

hey you are not asking for to much because you are getting to that age were you do need your own privacy and you dont want your little brother to be a little pest because when he gets older he is going to also want his own room to i am sure that you guys fight alot because of that but you are not asking for to much you want privacy thats all so i hope evrything works out and you each get your own room and if it dont work out maybe go outside that noone knows of and that can be your special spot hope i helped

No your not asking that much. You are going to be going through puberty soon (like you don't already know) and you're going to need your own space. Just don't bug your parents too much about it. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck (move to the east coast...we all rock here)(not to be rude to the millions of other people I just have pride)

I don't think so. If your parents want to move as well, and are not looking just so you can have your own room, I think it's fine to ask if they could buy a house wih an extra room for you.
Good luck,
