Am I over reacting? Children should not be put in this situation, I think.

hey just relax ! they are just 12 years old. they are still kids. i think you are just over reacting. i say keep your mind cool, relax and just trust them. and i dont think 12 year kids are that much grown up.

I don't think you're over reacting, it's not right. Children the same age, especially at that age, should not be put together in the same room. Now on the other hand if that's the only sense of space that you have left then one can sleep on the floor or the couch in his parents house. There are other ways of getting around that, and you can find that out when you get there. I don't know what his parent's house is like, and I don't know how much space they have, but I do know that there are other ways in solving this situation. Compromise with your Bf, and ask him what other ways you can go about with this situation. Like I said, one could sleep on the couch, or even the floor of the room. It's not like there's nothing else you can do. If you're really all that upset about it then just get a hotel, that will be a more easy way of getting around this. Let the kids have their own room and you can be happy knowing they are alright. Just talk to him about it, and listen to what he has to say about it, and make sure he listens to what you have to say without another argument.

i agree with you 100% kids there days are much smarter then when we were that age. i think if you feel strong about this then stand by what you belive.

I think it is a matter of the relationship they have. I have no issue with family members (Brother/sister) sleeping in the same room or even the same bed. If the kids have been raise like family and there has never been any reason to think that they see each other in any other light then I think you may be over reacting. Now if they are overly friendly in any way then no you wouldn't be.

you are over reacting. because your BF said that they can sleep together so they can . what is the problem of that if they can sleep together in the same room. maybe you are so malicious person. negative thingking, and also greenminded person. be positive thinking to the children so your BF will loves you better.

Me and my cousin were like brother and sister growing up when he would sleep over he would sleep in my room with me so I don't really see anything wrong with it, in the same bed would be a little strange.

I think your BF is being very naive. These days 12 year olds are becoming se+ually active. They aren't going to stop and think about the act that they are cousins if they want to do something. Kids that age should not be put in a situation that is tempting. at the same time if they want to do something they will find a away but why make it easy for them. I certainly wouldn't allow my kids to sleep in the same room even brother and sister.

I'm sorry but I definately think you are overreacting...My kids are 16 (son) and 14 1/2 (daughter) and sometimes they still bunk in the same room and if we are visiting their cousins (who are all teens ranging in age from 13 to 19) or whatever they all crash in the same room..their FAMILY for crying out loud..they all know about space and respect so i dont see what the issue is..

In other words,the two kids were cousins. I don't see any wrong with them sleeping together. Ok,they are not kids anymore,but they are cousins,almost of brother and sister relationship. I won't think any bad with those kids...i know there were instances that,even with blood relation some kids/people can do immoral things. But,if these kids are not showing any signs(immorality)i think it's fine. It all depend upon your observation. Have a nice day always

Yes, I agree with you, although they are cousins but now a days kids are being curious of everything.It makes their mind active, observant of new ideas, open up new worlds and possibilities, brings excitements in life.Curious people always ask questions and search for the answers in their minds. why the father didn't come to think about it?anyway, You did the right thing teenager shouldn't be sleep in one room, no one knows whats in their mind. Happy mylotting.

I agree with you 100%. No children above the age of 4, should be aloud to sleep in one room. No matter what the circumstances. Children are just to smart for there age.

I think it is fine. I have slept in rooms with my cousins that are boys when I have traveled places. There family. It is not like putting a 12 year old in a room with a stripper. Now that would be an issue. For a night or two, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. For sharing a room, then it should. Also are they sleeping in the same bed? That could be a little weird. I wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed as one of my cousins but a same room is no problem.

Well i dont find it anything wrong on you. You are little cautious of these acts as there are problems which may happen. You over look at it and try to be precautious. Thats really good and responsible.

Most often, a woman's ethical and moral instinct is to be heeded. Better safe than regret it later.
