Parents together, kids together, getting changed in bathroom. No problems.0

Parents in one and kids in another.
Have they suggested they wouldn't like to share, or is this something you think they may object to?0 -
I would say the mother/daughter, father/son is the best option but to be honest it really depends on the family dynamics. I have a brother who I wouldn't have wanted to share with at that age. Why wasn't it worked out when booking?Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

Parents in one room, 'children' in the other.
They've known each other since birth, if they're going to get precious about sharing a room on holiday they're of an age they can got on and pay for their own.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
When we did this it was me and my brother in one room, mum and step-father in the other... no WAY was I sharing with my mother - she snores to ridiculous levels!Little miracle born April 2012, 33 weeks gestation and a little toughie!0

Parents in one room, siblings in the other and getting changed in bathroom.
My DD was backpacking last year and shared mixed dorms with strangers....if that helps with context.0 -
Who has paid for the holiday? If the 'kids' (who aren't really kids anymore) have paid for themselves they should get an equal say in the sleeping arrangements!:heart2: Newborn Thread Member :heart2:

We had this last year and DD 19 shared with her "baby" brother 15. They really enjoyed sharing again as they had shared when younger and spent hours chatting away. They obviously respected each others privacy and got changed in bathroom. It worked well with no issues.I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
I'm a 25 year old lady, but both my sister and mum snore like freight trains so I'd bid to share with my dad if it came to it!
In any combination I'd volunteer for a sofa (or even the floor) rather than sharing a bed. Thats just me though.Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000

Siblings together - I've never understood why people would find it odd.0
