My sister and I, and a very dear friend of ours all have children from the ages of 5-7. We have all moved into a home, and we were thinking ofg putting the kids together in a very large room. The question is this... one of the kids is a boy of 7. The girls are 7 and 5. They all have different parts of the room to sleep in, and different beds.(obviously) I am wondering if there is an age or time limit to un-related different sex kids sharing a room? It is only going to be for a few months.

There are no specific laws about this in MA. There may be requirements if you are in subsidized housing, but that does not seem to apply here... so really you can put the kids where you want.

Just bear in mind, the non-custodial parents like to use this as a basis of change of custody. While there are no laws against it, courts like to see situations where kids can have their own spaces.
