I guess you all think that I am starting to froth at the mouth on that
one, but for some reason it really gets to me.  So I'll make one last
suggestion and shut up:

How about having each child in her/his own room, AND having a foam pad
that can be used as a bed anywhere, and can be set up easily so that
they could sleep in the same room whenever they feel like it?  This
way your children could have all the advantages of sharing a room whenever
they feel like it without having to deal with the daily disadvantages.

Not only is this solution flexible, but it might be much more exciting
for the children involved if they are the ones making the decision to
"invite" each other.  Acting grownup is quite fun when you're a kid.
Anything out of the ordinary is quite fun when you're a kid, so you
might as well let them enjoy all those wonderful little pleasures
while they still know how to do it.
