Family holiday sleeping arrangements

Lucky kids still being taken on holiday! Should do what the parents wish, imo.

Whatever the majority of the family are in favour of. I can see the pros and cons either way. If the kids are likely to be out late socialising together then I'd certainly have them sharing. It'd depend what they are used to doing previously.

Family of mum, dad, son (20) and daughter (17) go on holiday and have 2 rooms.

What would you expect the sleeping arrangements to be?

1. Mum and dad in 1 room, son and daughter in the other? or
2. Mum and daughter in 1 room, dad and son in the other?

whichever they are most comfortable with as a family.

i wouldn't have a problem with either arrangement.

When we went on family hols as teens, mum & daughter shared, dad & son shared.

Have a diplomatic family discussion. Anyone with strong preferences of who they'd prefer to share with can explain their reasons and majority wins.

Hiya, we had this sleeping arrangement in A 2 bed in Lanzarote.
2 x twin beds sc apartment.
Mum and dad one room and daughter the other. Son had the choice of sofa or other bed. He did half and half as the mood took him.
Daughter was older but both teens.
No problems.
I would think it would depend on how grown up they can be about the costs and putting up with accommodation.

There is no definitive answer, it's up to what you as a family feel comfortable with. Your daughter and son might prefer not to undress in front of one another but that is easy if there is a decent sized bathroom.

Parents in one kids in another for us.

Our two (boy and girl), have exactly the same age gap and often shared a room when we went away. They got changed in the bathroom.

We always booked a twin room but on a couple of occasions we arrived to find there was a double bed and had to ask for the sofa to be made up into a second bed.

On one occasion they were allocated a room where there was a mezzanine floor with a double bed, which DD bagged. DS had the sofa on the ground floor, which converted into a double bed with the TV right in front of it, so both parties were equally delighted with the arrangement.
