I'm the father of four kids, three girls and one boy. My oldest daughter and son are twins who have just moved to college. My youngest daughter is an infant, and our middle daughter is a preteen. We have four bedrooms including the master and plan to build a fifth bedroom when our youngest is old enough to sleep in a bed. My middle daughter has been my princess since the day she was born, so when we built her room we took extra care in making it just how she wanted it. The problem is now that my oldest daughter is away at school, my preteen wants to move into our oldest's bedroom. This bedroom is smaller with a lower end bed, but it's also upstairs while our bedroom is downstairs. At first my wife and I thought our preteen wanted a room upstairs, which is reasonable, so we offered her the new baby's impending room, but she only wants her big sister's room. Now we're thinking there is a bit of sibling rivalry, since they didn't get along very well.

Since my oldest daughter is a freshman, it will be a while until she moves back to Winslow, but in the mean time we feel like it is a courteous gesture to preserve her room. What are other parents doing when their oldest children move away to college? Are you renting out the room, allowing younger children to claim the space, or leaving the rooms just as they are? Any input would be appreciated.
