At what point should I start getting worried about my 11yr old daughter always insisting on sleeping in my stepson’s room. I talked to my wife about it once, but I’m getting so worried. I don’t want to bring it up to her again so it doesn’t look like I might not like or trust her son.
My stepson just moved in with us, and my 11yr old daughter always insist on sleeping in his room. Should I be worried?

If you can tell her to start sleeping where she was sleeping prior to when your stepson came, I hope you would do so quickly. Young teens need privacy. I don’t know the age of the stepson, but at that your daughter’s age, it is inappropriate for the two to share bedrooms. Child welfare dictates as such. Your daughter has entered puberty and can no longer share a bedroom with her brother or stepbrother. I suggest you get them separate bedrooms quickly before CPS gets involved. You don’t want an open case over something like this. Innocent things can easily get twisted into something not so innocent.
As much as here might not be anything to be worried about, it’s always better to take precautions than to be sorry later. Let your daughter know it’s high time she started sleeping in her room. Let your wife know again that you’re not comfortable with your daughter sleeping in same room with her stepbrother. Unless there is no other room in the house, then you could allow it, and on very strict grounds. It’s your house, your rules. Also, be sure to have started teaching your daughter about sex education so she could confide in you if there’s any monkey business going on. You really never can tell.
