I (39M) have three kids, 2 daughters, A (13F) and B (11F) and one son, C (6M).

A and B have shared a room since C was born. We dont have enough space to give each kid their own room, so I and my wife decided that it would be best for our daughters to share a room while C gets his own. Our reasoning is that A and B are the same gender and much closer in age to each other than C, so it wouldn’t be hard for them to share. This was never a problem up until about a month ago when A started complaining for her own room, and magically as soon as A started wanting her own space B did too. I’ve explained to them both a million times that we dont have enough rooms in our house for that, but the nagging still hasnt ended.

The other issue is birthdays. A and B’s birthdays are coincidentally very close together, so my wife and I have them compromise on a restaurant they both like and hold one party there for both of them rather than having to do two separate parties in one month. Obviously they both get their own gifts and get to invite their own friends and family members, they just have to share on the restaurant choice and celebrate on the same day. C’s birthday is a ways away from A and B’s, so we host another celebration just for him. A and B have been accusing me of favoring C since he gets more to himself than they do, but I dont think Im in the wrong here. AITA?
