Genius ideas to let me sleep in hotel room?

We're on holiday. Had DC together in twin room two doors down from us. DC1 didn't eat supper as felt unwell. DC2 did, then went up before dessert. She's been vomiting ever since - really violent, not much left but can't keep a mouthful of water or dioralyte down. DC1 has now started.

I'm now sat wrapped in my duvet in an office chair, but can't lean my head on anything. There's a boxy thin arm chair which is even more uncomfy and has a lower back. I'm going to have to sleep on the carpeted floor aren't I?

Can you take cushions off the chair and make a slightly squishy bed?

TwitTwont · 01/08/2023 23:01

One adult and one DC in each room?
Sounds awful, I hope they feel better soon and you and your OH don’t fall too.

Are there two adults? Take a child each, one per room, and lie on a bed between mopping up puke

Call housekeeping and ask them to bring up a foldaway bed.

Bath??

Hohohoholidays · 01/08/2023 23:04

Just have an adult and child per room, surely not difficult. You said 'we' in your original post which indicates 2 adults

Sameold23 · 01/08/2023 23:04

Child on floor?? They'll sleep anywhere!!!!

no space for a foldaway bed unfortunately. They've already given me one replacement set of bedding! DH won't look after DC if they're I'll, he's buggered off to bed after cursing them and me for asking him to come and help.
I tried but the cushions won't come off the chair.

Fucking hell what a Prince he is.

Hohohoholidays · 01/08/2023 23:06

Ridiculous, what would happen if you refused to look after your children too? Just drop a child into him and tell him to grow up

readbooksdrinktea · 01/08/2023 23:07

Well, what a useless twat you married. Hope the children feel better soon.

BreadInCaptivity · 01/08/2023 23:09

Move the pillows/duvet from your room to make a little floor bed and let your cunt of a husband do without.

CheekyHusky · 01/08/2023 23:10

Put DH in the twin room, you + DC in the double

DismantledKing · 01/08/2023 23:10

With a bit of luck your useless husband will be puking his guts up tomorrow too.

This also works!

VeggieStraws · 01/08/2023 23:10

Instead of sleeping, look up divorce lawyers. Hope the children feel better soon, hope you don't catch it and I wish all the vomit and diarrhoea in the world on him.

BitOutOfPractice · 01/08/2023 23:11

What do you mean “won’t”? There’s no choice.

andlwpan · 01/08/2023 23:11

Wow, your main problem isn't vomiting kids!

jackstini · 01/08/2023 23:12

Wtf re your h?
You look after one each!

Nothing would make my vagina shrivel up and die more than a man not stepping up to look after their kids

DH can get to fuck. He gets a nice night’s sleep while you don’t. I’d be waking him up at 3 and telling him it’s his shift.

UnsungShero · 01/08/2023 23:13

Please tell me that you know your husband is a cunt?

Oh I hope not, we're supposed to be going home tomorrow. (Train, 4.5 hours, 4 changes 😫)
Both rooms are twin, and I can't get back into our room as there's only one key and it also works the lights.

I can't decide which is the lesser of two evils, hotel carpet floor or squashed into ill DC's bed.... (DC are not toddlers, DC1 is taller than me!)

Ask reception for more bedding, you could make a more comfortable nest on the floor with an extra duvet and pillows. Then divorce.

TyrannasaurusJex · 01/08/2023 23:18

Do you realise how completely unreasonable that is from your DH? You dropped that in like it was no big thing and it really REALLY is. As pp said, I would spend this awake time contemplating why on earth you're still married to him.
