i am having trouble with this question Angel: does anyone know the law in massachusettes for children sharing a room? My stbxh and the other woman recently rented a house her daughter is 7 and my son is 4 will be 5 in august and they share a room together does anyone know about a law or the age that children of the oppisite sex and not related should not share a room? please reply this is bugging me
Re: i am having trouble with this question starzluv: not sure but, i do know that here in Pa and in AZ. once my son hit 5 he wasn't suppose to share a room with my girls.
Re: i am having trouble with this question jillieb44: I don't know of any law but my attorney told me I had to rent at least a two bedroom apt so my kids (a boy and a girl) could have separate rooms. I'm sure that in some larger families in smaller homes there is sharing going on (so I'm not sure it ought to be a law), but in your case we have NON-SIBLINGS sharing a room. I would think the courts would frown on that. I guess they'd better get a bigger apartment or start sleeping on the sofa themselves.

Re: i am having trouble with this question superwife: Call me ignorant, but there are laws regarding this??? You should come to NY, where anything goes...multiple families living in one bedroom apartments. Related or not.

These are your two children, and you need to have them in 2 seperate rooms? I'm sorry, but I would have a problem with that. They are siblings, you are their mother. It should be your choice. Again, I've seen all sorts of circumstances of room co-horting. But now that we are all under the scrutiniy of the legal system, people are telling us what we can and can't do. I really do have a problem with that, but I keep reminding myself, I didn't ask for this. he was the one who invited the NYC court system into our lives. But I digress...
Angel, I am in a similar situation. my daughter will be 6 in 2 weeks, and the OW's son is almost 6 as well. To be honest, I'm waiting (although I realize it may never happen) for this to fizzle, as I con't imagine it lasting long-term. And if it doesn't- God Bless the OW, lol, and my daughter will eventually reach a point where she does not like the situation. And her Daddy doesn't make her do antything she doesn't want to do. So for now, I'm just waiting it out. I just don't see this arrangement lasting long term.
Does your daughter have a problem with it?
