Holiday sleeping arrangements

[afgeklet]

My sister has kindly invited us on holiday with her children. So there will be me and DP, 2 DS’s (8 and 16), and her children 5,3 and 11 months and my sister. Her eldest 2 will be sharing a room and she'll have the baby in her room. Me and DP will be in the other room and the last room would be my DS’s but I'm not sure this will be fair on my eldest? My youngest also is autistic but his sleep is good most of the time. They used to share a room from when they were about 9 and 1 until they were 12/13 and 4/5 but my eldest didn't really mind sharing until then we just decided he needed to have his own room.

Is there an alternative to them sharing?

Sounds fine to me. Unless you and one son go in one room and your DP and other son in the other room.

It's holiday, room sharing is par of the course. My 15 year old has to share with her 9year old sister. It is never up for discussion.

When I was 16 I still sometimes used to share a family hotel room with both my parents and two younger siblings now that wasn't great!! What you're describing is absolutely fine short term for a holiday.

This!

It’s a holiday. Not permanent. Your eldest will have to put up with it if he wants to go on holiday.

My 21 year old DS and 18 year old DD shared a twin room for a couple of nights last year. They will have to again briefly if we manage to go this year. Sometimes we do girls room and boys room as an alternative.

Sometimes needs must.

Sharing on holiday is pretty common. We often have the whole family in one hotel room.

If you don’t want them to share, you are going to need to pay for a bigger place so there is another room.

Is there any alternative in any event?

It’s not forever
