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

I shared a bed with my brother when he was 16 and me 15 during a trip to someone's house (a couple of nights)

It was great because when he farted, I could kick him in the bollocks really easily

I don't think anything inappropriate is going to go on as I'm confident my sister is not an incestous paedophile but it still strikes me as being strange.

I do not think it is strange, my brother is 19 and i am 26, i would share a bed with him if i had to, but prefer not to as he snors.

OP how old are you? Just wondering really, but as you are all from the same family I would have thought you would have thought the same about things like sharing a bed with each other.

I'm 32

the only reason i wouldnt share with either of my dbs is cos they snore and fart - i know this cos their wives have moaned to me about them!

Why would you think this is strange? They're brother and sister. My DC (15 and 13 or 13 and 11) have to share a bed when we're on holiday. We and they don't think anything of it.

Has something happened in the past? I think it's a bit weird that you think it's weird, actually.

Not strange. I only have sisters so can't compare personally but if DP(26) shared a bed with his sister(17) i wouldn't think anything of it at all.

Yuck!

get some small semblance of a grip on

I don't think it's strange. When I go home from uni my little brother sometimes comes to sleep in my bed with me - I'm 20, he's 13. My 18 year old brother has slept in the bed with me when there's been a family crisis, too.

When just out of uni and a v poor ex student with loans to pay etc etc (very frightened to just think this was 18 yrs ago), me and my sister went on a cheepy holiday for a week in Ibitha off the teletext. Shared a bed no problem but had hilarious fun with couple on same holiday who thought we must be lesbians! (we didn't look very alike)

I really should read what I write before I post it. Should have said fun at the couple's expense rather than making it sound like a sex orgie!

My initial reaction is that it's a teeny bit odd.

I think it is a bit odd tbh. Last time I shared a bed with my best friend I spooned her in my sleep She told me in the morning haha.

In saying that, if I had to, I would share a bed with my sister who is 15 and I am 27.

If at all possible though I'd defo go for twin beds!

I'm 40, my brother is 33, sister is 36, wouldn't think twice if I had to share with them. Wouldn't book it that way, cos we'd all like a bit of space. Also wouldn't worry if I had to share with mum or dad. I think it's weird to think it's strange, sorry .

I don't think it's odd. I think it's odd that you're worrying. I have shared beds, sofas and floorspace with band members and fellow students many times (some years ago now) and none of us thought it was strange.

Are you the older sister?

I suspect that my 17yo son, if requested to share a room with any of his sisters, would rather sleep on the floor or in the bath, and would have done since about the age of 10. I'm sure other boys and other families are different though.

Doesn't really matter how old you get, you're not going to be having sex with each other so where you sleep is irrelevent.

This says more about your dirty mind than it does about the fact your brother and sister don't have a problem with sharing space.

On holiday you rarely get doubles anyway, it tends to be twin beds pushed together.

Yep, looking at your OP you have assumed that a double room means a double bed - in my experience this is rarey so, and it's very likely that either way, they will be able to ask for twin beds and get them.

FFS. The OP was unsure about something so posted on here for some reassurance that her siblings are normal. No need for everyone to get on her case about it.

Hi lerole: there's no age limit for siblings to share a bed as long as it's their choice. I'm glad that they get along well enough to consider it. So relax and wish them happy travels.

I've got a 13 year old brother and would have no issues sharing a bed with him and I'm 25. What do you think shes going to shag her underage brother.

I wouldn't share a bed with any of my DBros because I don't like sharing beds with anyone other than sex partners or DS. I wouldn't like to share with my mum or my best friend either. I would if I really had to but thankfully being married with DS it's unlikely to arise. Last time DBro and I shared a room at Granny's funeral I had double bed and he had ready bed. Booking a double rather than a twin is weird and I'd be annoyed by it, so YANBU to think it's a weird decision. I don't think the OP ever thought her siblings would be up to anything gross!
