Family holiday sleeping arrangements

katie1812

Parents in one, kids in the other. I've shared a room with my brother many many times when on holiday and doesn't bothere at all. We stayed up late chatting and still had privacy using the bathroom when dressing. Sometimes, me, my fianc! and brother share a room.. Really doesn't matter to us. All family!

Would just say parents in one room, kids in the other (assuming it's twin beds in one room?). Whenever we went on holiday as a family, up to when I was about 18, me and my brother would nearly always end up sharing a room. Didn't really see the big deal in it as we're family, would just get changed in the bathroom.

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?

Yes, either of those.

Why do you ask?

Parents in one kids in other. I'm not that old that I don't remember this on my own holidays. I think they are old enough to understand relationships and not bat an eyelash at sharing a room. Puberty years may have caused a bit of a problem but they are adults now.

I agree the kids should share. They are past the puberty stage which is when things are a little delicate i would say, it was certainly like that for my anyway. Our last holiday as a family was when my bro was 17 and I was 15 and we had separate rooms (luckily my parents could afford to do that).

I'd have no qualms sharing with him now nor would I have had a few years after that.

I would, and have, shared a room with my brother at this sort of age. Think the last time we were 18 and 16. We would just change in the bathroom or warn each other when about to be exposed so they other could turn round or cover eyes! I think separating is weird and suspicious! Kind of spoils things for mum and dad too!

Yeah but my brother was an !!!!.

As adults the 'children' should understand that their parents require their own room, and if they do not wish to share with each other should chip in the extra for an additional room.

Neither is ideal but I suppose it depends on what the kids think of it.

My brothers shared a room for years and although they were the same gender (so no awkwardness) they still hated it. They were always complaining about the other snoring or sleeping in the nude!

Still this isn't a permanent arrangement so they can probably stick it. Failing that they can chip in for another room maybe.

Depends how they feel about it..
But if the kids in my family demanded that they don't want to sleep together as they are too big for it, I would demand that they pay for themselves and quite possibly go on separate holidays if they are that "big"..
I cannot see how 2 siblings can think it is more "weird" to share a room then to share a room with a parent!!!

Of course if any outsider (cousing, friend etc) went too then it would be definitely by the sex.
