Mom forbids 16-year-old son from having a bedroom in their 2-bedroom house because she's using 2nd bedroom as a home office: 'I sleep in my parent's room.'

He deserves more privacy than he's getting.

If you didn't grow up having to share a bedroom into your teens, you have no idea what that experience is actually like. Sharing a bedroom with your little sister is pretty untraumatic when you're five, and your sister is three, but as you age, it can be a real pain to basically never have a moment alone, even when you're sleeping. Having your own bedroom is undoubtedly a privilege when you're a child, so if you're one of those kids who grew up not having to beg your brother to be quiet at 2 AM, you're a lucky duck. 

There are certainly levels to sharing a room with siblings. It's much easier to share a room when you're only a couple of years apart from your sibling. If you're a teenager sharing a room with kids who are still in Elementary school, it can make an already fraught sibling relationship even more challenging to manage. You can't force siblings to be close just by putting them in the same bedroom. 

Sharing a bedroom with your siblings is one thing, but what about sharing a bedroom with your parents? Many families have to make sacrifices when they're struggling financially and can only afford one bedroom. Sometimes, the parents and the kids have to sleep in the same room. Other times, the parent sleeps in the living room while all of their kids sleep in the bedroom. In this family, they have two kids and two bedrooms. You'd think the two kids could share one bedroom and the parents could share the other, but for some reason the mom's home office takes priority over her kids having their own place to sleep.
