Every year, the family have a week long get together. My parents pay for the house rental.
It's me, dh, dd (31), ds (24), parents (late 80s), my brother and his wife, and my niece (27). We rent a 5 bed house, which means dd and niece share a room with two singles.
DS gets his own (double) room. He wants to bring his girlfriend who he has been with for 5 years and lives with.
My niece wants to bring her girlfriend who she owns a flat with and has been with for 6 years.
As it stands, there would be room for DS' girlfriend, but not for my niece's girlfriend.
I suggested that we get a bigger house so that partners can join the holiday so that the family tradition can evolve and continue. This would mean renting a bigger place, and all of the adult 'children' are happy to chip in to the cost of a bigger and nicer house.
My parents are point blank refusing because they don't feel 'comfortable' sharing their holiday with partners. Dbro suspects they have an issue with niece having a girlfriend.
AIBU to think adult partners should be 'allowed' on a family holiday?
