to have my children share a room on hoilday to save money

[mumof2children]

for an extra room it will cost extra money, the money i could use on thehoilday, my kids will be 5 and almost 2 when we go ( boy and a girl)

aibu not spending the extra money on accomendation

And the problem is? Mine are 12 and 10 and share a room at Centerparcs. And all 4 of us shared a room on holiday this summer.

why would you even contemplate them not sharing?

Of course you're not - it's fun sharing a room. Why do you ask?

Don't understand what the problem is. My dd and ds2 share a room at home.

YANBU. I'm surprised that you even need to ask!

Mine (girl/boy, 7/4) always share on holiday and will for many years yet - plenty of boy girl sibs share at home too.

Why would you even think about not sharing?

Actually, did you seriously consider putting a barely 2 yo in a room all by herself!!!???

Unreasonable to share a room with who, each other, you? Of course it's not unreasonable it's what usually happens isn't it?

eh ?

all 4 of us (2 adults, 2 children) shared a room on holiday this year

Are you Queen Eizabeth ?

it came from a comment from one of the mums over the school that is not nice for mixed sex to share a room

i see no problem with them sharing, dd has a large cot and sometimes ds sleep in there with her

How many hoiday homes/hotels have enough rooms for children to have their own ?
Not many that we have been to/can afford.

Definately not unreasonable - will be good for them.

of they should share! i would always assume they would!

winnybella, she has her own room at home...we will be taking the travel cot so no safty issues

If it were me, I'd splash out on holiday extras.

I don't really see why a 2yr old and a 5yr old can't share and I know people whose mixed sex kids of a similar age share at home because they can't afford to move house-it works fine!

My mum shared a room with her older brother AND HER PARENTS till she was 5 as they lived with her grandparents because her dad had just returned from the war and didn't earn a lot. They all coped!

Unreasonable to ask. Mine share frequently, and when we can get a room big enough, all 5 of us share (boy 14 and 2 younger girls).

DS doesn't like sharing, and usually hangs around with us until sisters are asleep. But we rarely have 3 bedrooms (and never hotel rooms) on holiday.

'it came from a comment from one of the mums over the school that is not nice for mixed sex to share a room'

You what? dd1, ds and dd2 all share a room when on holiday. And even share a bed when camping . They're 7, 5 and 3.

Yes, my kids have their own rooms at home as well, but it's a bit different than putting a toddler all by herself in a strange place- especially if it's a room with a door out to the hotel corridor iyswim- not like at home where the door stays ajar and she can come out/call out if she needs to.

WHAT?

Not nice to...

This is ridiculous. They are 5 and 2. What was the woman talking about? FFS.

lol at ruby

And on top of it DD will be in a travel cot, right? I mean, I would totally let my kids share A BED, there is nothing wrong with it, but you are worrying about them being in the same ROOM a problem?

Is this for real?

well it been booked up for a while as 2 bedrooms, i am going to butlins for the week.

i'm not changing it now

not nice? Oh, ffs.

Although obviously, the 5 year old will have to go on the Sex Offender Register when you get home......

what ridiculous levels of prudishness are being shown here "not nice for mixed sex to share a room"

I think it is very nice that siblings (any siblings) to share any time. Especially on holiday in a new and strange room.

YANBU

"not nice" for children to share a room

what a sick way to hint at inappropriate sexual contact between children

is that what she meant ???

I would have to ask her precisely why she is making such a ridiculous judgement

she has issues, that is for sure

that 1 bedroom for me and partner and 1 for the kids.....i never even crossed my mind them sharing would be a problem.
