Most people’s initial experience regarding living by themselves involve living with a flatmate. Let’s be straightforward, with the growing expenditure of living, no one can truly afford to live by himself unless they have an exceptional earnings. Also, most individuals who have just started out on their profession can’t afford to live by themselves. That is why countless people go for sharing their flat when they first move out.

Living with a flatmate can have both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, you will always have someone to talk to when you come home from work. If you end up being friends you can actually make plans together, hang out, and really enjoy your years of living together.

Having a flatmate will also cut costs. Since you are sharing in the flat’s rent, and will most probably end up sharing groceries as well, you will save money in the long run. You can also split costs on basic utilities and things like cable and internet since you will both be using them.

Being able to cut the money you spend on rent is great, but another great thing about having a flatmate is that you can get a bigger place than you could afford on your own. This is wonderful if you like socialising and inviting people over, or if you want a bigger place for its spaciousness.

Finally, you will have someone to share the responsibilities with. You can split chores such as dishwashing and cleaning, and not feel like you have to do a lot after you get home from work or school.

There are, nevertheless, drawbacks of having a flatmate also. To begin with, you will not have the solitude you would have if you would be living unaccompanied. Your flatmate will know what is happening in your life all the time, and if you are the type of individual who likes a lot of space, you might have trouble in getting along with a being being around you all the time.

If you and your flatmate end up not getting along, things could be very uncomfortable. Since you will be sharing things like kitchen, bathroom, and living room, if you don’t have similar habits or likes and dislikes, you could get annoyed with each other very soon because of differing tastes in television shows, foods, and cleaning habits.

It can also be very irritating to have a flatmate who does not finish his chores on time, and if you end up doing all the cleaning and dishes because your flatmate never bothers, it will be very difficult to live with him or her for too long.

Another problem that people often face is difference in social habits. If your flatmate is up all night with the television turned on loud, or has visitors all the time, you could end up feeling as if your life is being capsized because of your flatmate.

Owing to these causes, it is extremely significant for you to consider whom you share your flat with, and talk about all possible issues before you begin living jointly.

You may choose to have your baby sleep in their own separate bed, but in your room. Their bed could be a bassinette, cradle, cot or a mattress beside your bed on the floor. (In the 'old days' it was thought to be a cardboard box or the bottom drawer!) Your baby's bed may be positioned beside your bed for easy access (if you have the room), or perhaps away from your bed (if you have the space), to help them not disturb you, if you are a light sleeper (newborn babies make lots of noises in their sleep).

This sleeping arrangement seems to suit many new parents, because they can maintain their own sleeping space, while feeling reassured that they can see, and be close to, their new baby.

Advantages of room sharing. Research indicates that having the baby sleep in the same room, but not in the same bed, with their parents in the first 6 to 12 months of life may be protective against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS. This is thought to be because parents can see their baby and easily check them, as it does not work if the baby is in the room with other children (probably because children do not know if a baby is safe or not).

Other advantages parents have identified when sharing their room with their baby include:

Easier when feeding throughout the night.
A sense of relief and security when their baby is close by, particularly if the baby was unwell or premature after the birth or has an ongoing medical problem.
It is easier to cuddle up with your partner.
Easier to move the baby into their own room when the time comes. (As opposed to moving them out of in your own bed).
Perhaps prevent disturbing or waking an older sibling throughout the night. (Although most siblings will generally sleep through the sound of a crying newborn, but the thought of having to deal with two -or more- wakeful children can generate unwanted levels of stress!)
Leading to the tendency to leave the baby in the bed with you after the 3am feed. Many mothers do a combination of bed-sharing and separate beds.

Disadvantages of room sharing. The following are some disadvantages that parents have identified when sharing their room with their baby.

Most babies are noisy sleepers. They 'snuffle', make grunting sounds, hiccough and pass wind (at times loudly!) New mothers tend to be lighter sleepers after the birth. They are usually constantly on the alert for being 'called to duty' each time the baby stirs. A noisy baby can frequently interrupt a mother's sleep as she 'anticipates' her baby's needs every time they make a noise. Fathers can also be prevented from sleeping deeply if they are light sleepers.
As a baby becomes older (6 months or more) they may wake during the night and want to feed (or play) purely because they see you.
An older sibling may feel left out if they are not sleeping with everyone in the same room.
The dimensions of your bedroom can't accommodate an additional baby's bed. Or perhaps two beds if you have twins (or more).

Advantages and Disadvantages

Dorm life inevitably leads to some of the highest highs and lowest lows of college life. You can throw a legendary party in your room one night (to celebrate getting an A on your essay) and then find yourself sleeping on the cold floor of the common area the next (because your roommate threw up on your bed).

Some of the pros of dorm life include:

* Academic success. Studies show that freshmen living in on-campus dorms do better academically than those who live in off-campus housing.
* Convenience. You’re close to everything you need, including your lecture halls, the library, the cafeteria and the campus pub.
* Community. There’s no easier way to make friends in college than by living in residence. Other students are never more than a 10-second walk out your door. Many college students look back on dorm shenanigans as some of their favorite memories of college.

Conversely, some of the cons are:

* Distractions. Though most students perform better academically, some have their grades suffer because they are unable to focus on their studies with everything that’s going on around them. Dorms are rarely, if ever, quiet.
* Lack of privacy. There are always people around, and this may end up getting on your nerves. It’s inevitable that the close proximity will cause some conflict and drama in your dorm.
* Theft. Many freshmen dorms have an open door policy. While this facilitates social interaction, it can also leave you vulnerable to theft. Tether your laptop to the wall or, better yet, store it in a locked safe whenever you aren’t in your room.
