Holiday sleeping arrangements!

[user1483390742]

Family of 5 going away tomorrow for 7 nights- we have 2 chalets adajecent but not interconnecting. We have 3 DCs ( ages 15, 14 and 10) and would like to put them all in one chalet whilst DH and i have the other. He is their dad so completely normal for us to sleep together. The resort think we are splitting- one adult in each room but we don't want to! Are they old enough to be left alone? We think they are!

I wouldn't, it's a different building not just a different room, you won't be able to hear any problems.

Invest in walkie-talkies, then you'll be able to talk to the kids! Or maybe a baby monitor, so that you can listen in on them? (presuming they don't put a pillow in front of it ...)

Hiya

We had two rooms in a hotel recently and the kids (aged 5-12) had one with a baby monitor whilst we had the other room with the parent part of the monitor. The rooms were next door but one to each other.

No problems at all.

Wicketwoo. That could be just good luck though. Is there a reason other than preference that you and DH didn't split up and share the DC between you? 5 seems very young.

Had they been on a different floor or further away then we wouldn't have done it. The 5 year old always sleeps through and if he didn't he would have said my name and I'd have been straight there. As someone said earlier it's no different space wise to having them in a different bedroom at home.

I am generally quite paranoid about my DCs safety and very definitely baby them and I didn't feel uncomfortable about this.

If he's their dad I don't understand the issue with you splitting up.
I think 10 is to young to be in a chalet with a 15 year old.
I sleep until the same bed as DH every night at home. If we need to split up on holiday so be it. Children come 1st

I'd have the 10 yr old in with us and leave the teens to it.
