"It was my bedroom before it was yours."
There are sometimes arguments between them when it comes to their bedroom as they have to share. Harvey has the half near to the door and Alyssa has the half that has the window. This often throws up some great (and sometimes funny) conversations.
"You can't get in as the door is mine." ~ Harvey
I have to keep reminding them that, although they have to share, they are extremely lucky to have a bed of their own, a roof over their heads and some lovely toys. Some children don't have any of those things.
There have been a few social media charity efforts. The newest one I have been nominated to do is to post a photo of your bedroom, donate £3 to SCF4kids charity and then nominate someone else.
SCF4kids help vulnerable children around the world. Text ROOM43 £3 to 70070. To make a difference!!!
Upload your Bedroom photo and donate! I nominate these wonderful people .... you have 24 hours. Keep the nominations going!!!!

More information about the charity can be found on their website. http://www.scfoundation.org.uk/ or on their facebook or twitter pages.
I showed these photos to them and they were simply amazed at how those children have as 'their bedroom'.
I have sent my donation by texting ROOM43
£3 to 70070 and now they also have a much
tidier room. Win win situation.

(Harvey didn't look too happy when I cleared the toys found under his bed.)

That really made me laugh - "the door is mine"!! Great post, I think we all could do with reminding ourselves how lucky we are with the accommodation we have.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we have to remember we are so lucky to even have a roof over our heads. I will definitely be teaching Amelia that as she grows x
ReplyDeleteCan't stop laughing! Great post, reminds us that we should be truly grateful of what we have others are sometimes less fortunate.

i do appreciate your post and effort, we dont notice sometimes what we have and how easy things can be for us
ReplyDeleteA great reminder to children when they grumble...I shared a room with my two sisters at one stage - oh the territory marking that went on in that bedroom! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to raise money.Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteTouch wood mine don't argue about their room. This is a really lovely, and thoughtful post.
ReplyDeleteMy two get n really well but there would be fireworks if they had to share a room I think x x
ReplyDeletegreat post! we take for granted how lucky we are, we all need a reminder sometimes
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to remember how lucky we are! Not sure my teenagers room is ever fit for a photo though!
ReplyDeleteChildren are so lucky these days - i always had to share growing up and now my Daughter has a bigger one than us!
ReplyDeleteWell done for supporting a great cause.
I saw this campaign mentioned on Facebook, it really makes you think.
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely wonderful that people are starting to see it being mentioned. I do love the power of Facebook.
DeleteI am guilty of often telling my eldest how lucky he is when he moans! A great post to highlight a great cause x
ReplyDeleteMy three share a room and it can be very stressful. We need a bigger house!
ReplyDeleteI plan on taking Emma to Romania when she grows up, to see how other children live in remote villages. Great project to raise awareness for!
ReplyDeleteI always teach my children this too, we are so lucky with what we have. It makes me so annoyed to see children with so much stuff moan or complain, when my kids do it its drives me mad!
ReplyDeleteAnna
Love the door is mine comment, kids are funny ay. Such a worthy cause and a great reminder to be grateful for what we have. x
ReplyDeleteMy children are the same and desperate to have their own rooms. They don't realise how lucky they are
