Teenagers Forced To Share A Double Bed

27 replies

CaptainJaneway62 · 31/08/2019 18:07

Boys are 14 and 17 stuck in the middle of divorce
The only choice they have is to sleep in a double bed or one sleep on the floor and the other in the bed.
This is when they visit their father's house EOW
The boys absolutely do not like this set up but are happy to share a room
Their father refuses to provide/buy 2 singles(or bunk beds or trundle bed) for them(money and space is not an issue).
What I am asking really is to those MNs whose DCs go to the NRP EOW is this acceptable or not?
Sorry for being vague but I am a bit worried about my DGSs and some of the stuff their father is putting them through at the moment.

Their mum is probably as scared of him as they are. It's perfectly fine for a grandma to step in when the mum has been bullied by an abuser and fears the fallout if she challenges him. That fallout can be really grim.

I really urge you to contact Women's Aid, CaptainJaneway.

DSis and i often shared a bed at DGrans. If the boys are that shy of sharing they could top and tail in sleeping bags. If they were different sexes and wanted privacy then it would be different.
