Sharing a room with son when on holiday.

[DollyDaisyDo]

DS aged 18 and I are hoping to go away for a few days before he starts university.

Was telling a friend who said how expensive it would be having 2 hotel rooms - she was genuinely shocked and said how strange that was when I said we would be sharing a room (twin beds obviously). I asked DS and he said, he'd assumed we'd be sharing

It's got me thinking, is it strange? Just interested in other people's thoughts.

Agree that it’s actually weird of your friends and also rude to say that it’s weird as if they’re insinuating you’re an incestuous deviant or something.

I am going abroad later today with ds(16) and dd(13). DH can't come for various reasons, which we are happy with.

We are all sharing a famiky room. Dd and I will share the double bed, ds will have the sofa bed. We've done this several times before. Sadly no twin bed family rooms where we are going!

Not strange at all, we’ve gone away and at times shared a room between 3 adults and 2 children. We’re all family. And just get changed in the bathrooms.

I shared a room with my mum the night before my wedding, only wish I'd reminder her to turn her alarm off though, it was the same one as when I livedc at home and I'd forgotten how loud it was and her ability to sleep through it till someone woke her 🤦🏼‍♀️ not quite what you need the morning of your wedding but it wasn't weird and would do it again in your situation no hesitation, if fact if your SIM is too spend time together, being in separate rooms would really limit that and may be a bit lonely for you both unless you literally are only using the room to sleep not chill at times as well.

I’ve gone away with both my 15 and 19 year old boys and we shared a room, it was fine, my 15 year old is used to it as we regularly travel for his sport and separate rooms would bankrupt me! I’m a single parent and I’ve travelled alone with them for years so it doesn’t seem odd to us.
