should non siblings of the opposite sex share a room?

[sholing]

my daughter gos with her dad every other weekend and he has recently got a new g/f and she has 2 boys aged 8 and 10..my daughter is 7 and has to share a room with the 2 of them... i dont really like the idea of this but is there any laws or anything on this...???

I understand where you're coming from. I guess it rather depends on how advanced the boys are. Some boys of 10 are quite sexually aware; others are still little boys. Have you voiced your concerns with your ex and how does your daughter feel about the boys?

I personally would not be very happy with this arrangement. Mainly for the fact that your ex is now only just new into this relationship. And its a lot for a small child to get used to.

Cant your ex just have your daughter with him, without the new girlfriends kids?

i dont know how advanced the boys are as i dont really know them..they only been together a couple of months...my daughter gets on with most children though so it hard to say...my ex wouldnt just have her and spent that time together he never has and i dont think he ever will, even though speaking about this on many occasions..its in one ear and out the other...
im just really not happy about the situation and really need to know where i stand....

do they only have 2 bedrooms? if so cant your partner and his g/f give up their room and sleep on an air bed down stairs legally by law as the eldest child is 10 they cannot share a bedroom

its a 2 bedroom house....himself and his g/f wouldnt do that....he will just say it fine and carry on and do it anyway so ill find out when my daughter gets home the situation....

zzxxee, i dont think your answer is right - it may be for social housing, but with private housing you can put anyone of any age anywhere. Perhaps there is a way of seperating the room with a curtain?

my ex partners girlfriends house is council......whatever the law if any i dont think boys and girls should share a room.....obviously if at school or depending on the sexual awareness of the children....

[zzxxee]

how far away does your daughter live from her dad? maybe if the concerns are worrying you that much she should just see her for the day so you, can tell him you find the situation unacceptable

we all live within 5 mins off each other....so not far at all...trouble with my ex though he just does stuff to please himself as long as he happy and all that....just makes me mad, but he sees it as me interfering...
