To think my brother and sister are too old to share a bed

[lerole]

My sister (24) and my brother(15) are going on holiday to Turkey together in a week and I've just learnt that they are going to be in a double and so sharing a bed. AIBU to think this is really inappropriate and that they are way too old to still be sharing a bed. DH says I'm being silly

They'll be in a twin. I bet.

I think it's a bit weird but I'm a prude.

It wouldn't occur to me to think anything about it. they're kipping down together. Assume they're doing it to save money are they? Why a double and not twin beds though?

As long as your brother is a reliable person, I think it's fine. Shared with my dad when I was 17- because we were on holiday and the hotel only had a double bed. Never thought of it as inappropriate.

Assuming they have a normal sibling relationship I wouldn't think too much of it.

I have no idea why she didn't book a twin room instead of a double but dsis does some strange things at the best of times

They may not have had twin rooms.

Might have been a mistake. Double / twin you can get muddled up, often you book a room for two, expect a double, get a twin, maybe things happened the other way round -- maybe she booked a room for two, they looked at the two names and thought, husband and wife, and assigned a double.

What do you think is going to happen? Men and women can share a bed without any sexual shenanigans, you know.

I last shared a bed with my brother (iirc) when I was 17 and he was 26, and that was camping - thought nothing of it.

Obviously I know thats nothing is going to happen but it just seems a little weird.

Odd to have an issue with this IMO. Do you think you would be unable to control yourself if it was you sharing with your brother?

I just don't get why you'd think so otherwise. Very strange.

I don't think it's weird, although they probably won't sleep that well as they'll be paranoid about staying as far away from each other as possible!

It's creepy that you would find anything inappropriate about this.

Go on admit it you've been watching Brookside reruns haven't you and let your mind go into overdrive? .

Please don't say anything to them.

It's incredibly rude to suggest a sexual situation to people who could be horrified by it

I think the lack of privacy would bother me - I'd share a room with my bro for a night quite happily, and I guess a bed isn't much difference, if I had to - but not for a week.

I agree with OnceUponA - the creepy part is that you find this creepy.

me too bue

I am 23 and recently shared a bed with my ten yr old brother for one night when we had loads of family staying. He's my brother. Why is it odd? I would share a bed with my 17yr old sis too.

I wouldn't want to share a bed with either of my brothers. Nothing wrong with them I just wouldn't want to be in that close proximity to my semi naked hairy arsed brother.

On a personal level, I wouldn't be comfortable with it, but lots of people would.
Ewe, a 10 year old is more acceptable than a 15 year old, I think.

Probably there was not a choice of double/twin, just 'room for 2 people'. I'm assuming it's ensuite so they can get changed in the bathroom if they want.

I wouldn't think anything of it - DB and I last shared a room last year, when I was 30 and he was 29 - absolutely nothing there except saving money!

I'd be horrified if anyone suggested anything inappropriate about it - we're brother and sister, it's not like it's every night or anything, for a holiday we could do it (if you take out of the equation his wife and baby!!) but we would drive each other nuts if it was a regular occurance.

When I first thought about it, I thought it may be a bit odd, but then I thought if it was me sharing with either of my brothers and I wouldn't think anything of it at all.
