Are we snobby

[Alipali29]

Whenever we go away on a city break or holiday we always have to get a room for us (me and Husband) and then a seperate room for our 5 yo. (As in adjoining). A few friends have said they shade rooms and tha5 were precious doing this. Just wanted to know what others think?

I think it's unusual but wouldn't say "snobby"

I wouldn’t say you’re snobby. Personally, I’d say you’re sensible

Not sure why this is snobby, up to you what you spend your money on . We've always bunked up in a family room, mostly because we are mean.

Yeah, I'd agree. Unusual, but not snobby. Personally I'd like to have a separate room for the children, but I wouldn't because of the cost.

Do you mean interconnected or adjoining? You can’t normally book a room for a child.

They think you're snobby towards your own son? Seems unlikely - do you think he's too lowly to share a room with?

Do you mean hotel room? It’s not snobby but it’s definitely extravagant.
There is me sneaking our third child in past the receptionist!

Yes interconnected I think it's called

Depends how important hanky panky is to you and how much spare money you have

Nothing snobby about booking adjoining rooms if you can afford it. When my children were little, we always booked 2 adjoining family rooms (4 kids plus me and DH) and all the kids piled into one room, leaving me and him on our own. Fantastic holidays for all of us.

Yep defo too lowly!

I've looked into getting 2 rooms but in my case it would be one for myself and child 1 and one for dp and child 2.
I'd not want my child in a separate room without an adult in a strange place- even if it was adjoining.
My dc are pre-teen.

Um, i think you’re using the wrong word, or do you maybe not know what snobby means?

It means to think you’re superior and look down on those who are inferior. Clearly there’s no correlation to you booking a seperate room for your child and the definition of snobby,

Haha cracked me up!

I’d want a separate room if it’s affordable tbh. I would probably want to sit up for a bit with a glass of wine without disturbing DC. Not snobby at all.

Snobby is an odd word to use for it, in fact it doesn’t make much sense in the context.
We always book apartments rather than hotels so that we’re not all in one room. Just makes things more pleasant in terms of being able to have a proper evening. If we were staying in a hotel we’d go for adjoining rooms. Don’t think that makes us snobby, it’s just a question of priorities.

Not snobby though maybe a little extravagant for just the 3 of you.

Mostly we have been able to get rooms with a divider between us. So it's like a sliding door but it's in the same room technically.

Could you tell us how you would define the word 'snobby' because I can't see how it would apply to your situation?

Not snobby, but I wouldn't want my little one in a separate room in a hotel, even if interconnected. I don't know why though, it would just make me uncomfortable at such a young age. I'd be fine to do basically the same in a two bed apartment though. Not sure why it feels so much like a different thing.

Maybe I am misusing it, what I mean is over the top I guess. Unnecessary maybe..

Extravagant then. Maybe it is extravagant, but what's wrong with that if it's affordable and makes life easier?

I don’t think it is snobby at all - if you can afford/ want to spend double for the extra space then why not!
I didn’t start getting interconnecting until our son was about 11 - when he insisted…mainly because his dad snores! More recently I’m in agreement with my son (now 16) and we get three rooms/ holiday cottage with three bedrooms so we all get a decent nights sleep.

what I mean is over the top I guess. Unnecessary maybe..

In which case its just a matter of opinion. I don't think its either over the top or unnecessary if this is your preference for how you like to travel.
