We have an extra room but my husband is currently unwilling to give up his office space.

Well you're hubby needs to mature and realize having kids means making sacrifices. I know when we have our first baby, our 2nd bedroom - currently our wonderful, comfy computer room - is something we're going to have to just give up. We only have two bedrooms right now, and we can't afford to move currently. But with one baby we will make do, will have to move the office into the laundry room or convert our garage into another room. But if I had two kids, opposite genders, I don't know what we'd do. Tough question. I don't think a state can MAKE you not allow two siblings opposite genders not share a room - unless the state is going to pitch in and pay for a bigger house for you. But you don't' have this situation, you have two bedrooms, so really, time for hubby to grow up and make a sacrifice! Move the office to the laundry room, the bedroom, the family room, etc You'll make room. Good luck! :)

If you rent some state require that opposite genders be in separate rooms at 5 years old. Some states also have a two per room law too. Now would be a good time to plan ahead for a new office area for your husband. If you own your house you could start saving now for an addition for a new room or maybe put money away to buy a bigger house. If that is not an option your husband will have to give up his office in about 3-4 years. Your husband will have to get used to the idea.

The state of Missouri Department of Social Services says that opposite sex children need to have a room of their own by the age of 2 years.

I have heard that by age 5 they start to realize the differences, but have known kids that share a room for longer than that and no harm done. So you have a long time to worry about it. Your kids may give you clues too, probably wanting their own rooms.

they should be in seperate rooms by the age of 3 or 4.

there is not any criminal age shrink in the united kingdom so a ways as i'm conscious, yet your ex-husband would desire to instruct some worry-free sense and understand that teenage years are confusing adequate without the extra embarrassment of pubescent opposite-intercourse siblings having to share a mattress room. i've got faith the only age limits are utilized via community housing assosciations, yet those are rules for social housing allocation quite than regulation. tell your ex to end being this way of miser. Edit: @Penny Lane, as I reported, The Housing Act purely applies to social housing, and are rules for council lodging, not motels or inner maximum residences. examine the question heavily, it is not asking approximately council housing or being rehomed.

In about 3-4 years your husband is going to have to give up that office, or you are going to have to move or add an addition onto the house.

I think developmentally and safety-wise seems sweet and kind to share a room till about 7 years of age....I never imagined that state boards would tell parents when to seperate children!

If I remember right, by the time your son is 3 or 4. You could check with the local housing authority or with the Department of human service.
