Partners ex wife laying down the law.

[mummy_1983]

Just wondering if anyone knew of such law thats says sept siblings (5 yr old boy and 6yr old girl ) can not legally share a room. they would only be sharing one night every other weekend and school holidayand want to share. They have been together since they were 2 and 3. My partners ex wife is stating this is illegal and we are not to have them share and she has to have her own room or sleep in front/dinning room. I am worried this is true as her partner has two children and since there new arrival they have been moved from room they were sharing, one in to hallway and other in to front room, which leads me to think there is truth in what she is saying. If anyone knows of any information about this issues or has a link I would be greatfull if you could let me know please.

It's not illegal. And at that young age it is entirely acceptable.

it's rubbish. what if I had a 2 bed house and had a son and a daughter? are the police going to prosecute me for not buying a bugger house?

[Barmaid]

Freudian slip there Sara.........

[sara3]

So these children are not at all blood related?

rofl, sorry, I can't help with your question but I couldn't help chuckling over

"are the police going to prosecute me for not buying a bugger house? "

[mummy_1983]

They are not blood related.

[sara3]

it doesn't matter whether they're related or not. kids have sleepovers all the time, but there are no laws saying what sex they have to be.

That is completely rubbish. I can just see the police knocking on the door every time our friends come over to stay and their 8 year old girl bunks in with my two boys (8 & 9)! I mean honestly, what does she think is going to happen, they are kids for gods sake. Sounds like she is jealous especially if your two little ones get on well and all is not harmonious in her household.

[mummy_1983]

Thanks for replys. I did think it was rubbish she was saying just she seems to pratice was she preaches in her own household.

Have been stressing over this, I feel as if I am being made to treat her daughter like a guest rather then a part of the family. Parnter to scared to not do as she says ,.as he is afraid she wont let him have his daughter when he should. which has happened in past.

Oh the joys of controlling ex partners.

if this woman is making the children sleep in the hall and in the lounge then she is being a complete idiot, that is not private and could be putting the children at risk. if anything happened in the night there would be chaos if the fire brigade needed to get to the children and didn't know they were sleeping like that. there are some stupid people in this world .

you can claim seperate bedrooms in a council house for children of different sexes if one or both is over the age of 10 (i think thats the age boundry) but there is no LAW and since the children want to share you'll find that the seperation is upsetting them rather than helping the situation.

in reality until they ASK for seperate areas (in which case a curtain would probably suffice if you cant afford it) then dont worry about it!
