Teenagers sharing a room on holiday - what’s the usual thing?

[Ndujauser]

A friend with DS of 15 and DD of 13 is on holiday abroad, and is sharing a hotel room with DD and her DH is sharing with DS.
Is this the way most people holiday with teens? Our DD and DS always shared tents, rooms, or whatever. But this was a while ago, maybe it’s not done now?

I’d get teens to share but maybe they don’t get on and this is easier. Or one of the teens is body conscious and doesn’t want to share with opp sex.

I don't think there is a "usual" really.

Maybe they can't be trusted not to muck about, maybe they would rather share with mum/dad than each other, maybe they don't get along...who knows.

Either way is fine - it's up to each family to split the rooms in the way that works best for them. We've done both (teens sharing together or rooms split by sex) depending on the situation.

Yep we do it this way, I’ve shared w DD since she was about 14. Poor old DH gets the smelly lad 😂

Twin room with single beds or double bed?
My DD 22 and DS 21 happily share a room if single beds , using bathroom to for privacy to get dressed. They wouldnt share a double room with one bed though, in that situation DD with me, DS with DH.

Ours always shared quite happily and still would if they had to and most definitely adults now. They would probably argue less too.

Thanks for the replies - you’re all right of course, it depends on the family.
Holiday sex, though. Sad to miss out.

Nope. Adults in one room, teens in the other in our family.

I don’t know about this. I think they should be separate once they hit puberty but I know a lot of people think I’m bonkers.

There was a thread last week on this, with about half the respondents being amazed 2 teens would be expected to share a room, and the other half being amazed 2 teens wouldn’t share a room.

Our family falls into the ‘teens share rooms’ half.

There's only me and ds (18). We share a twin.

He's more than happy to pay for his own room if he wants - shockingly enough he doesn't care enough to part with his money 🤣🤣

More than welcome. As I said he would rather share and I pay 🤣🤣

Yes same. I think the people forcing teens to share are the bonkers ones tbh.
