To think my in-laws are over reacting?

[Snugglepalace]

My dc (11yr old ds & 8 yr old dd) stay over at my in-laws once a week during the school hols, so that's roughly 10 times a year.
They have a 2 bed house and up till 6 months ago dc slept together in their spare room, however in laws now make dd sleep on the floor in the living room which she hates, she says it's uncomfortable.
So I asked them today if the kids can share the room and they got quite angry with me and said no it's not right at their age!!
AIBU to think that's a bit over the top for a sleep over just 10-12 times a year?

why on earth do you still send them?

man up and say to inlaws they dont want to stay as1) no bed 2) loo roll ration

nothing wrong sharing a room for b/g but a double bed is wrong for siblings entering puberty

should swap and take turns on the floor if this is the only option?

give them a loo roll each to take

what happens when you flush their loo?

larva in the buckets?

and what about the heatng?

As long as your DC aren't miserable I think they could get a lot out of these clearly bonkers people. Think of all the stories they will be able to tell people. They might learn that people can have quirks but you still love them. It is a life lesson about other people having different rules and how you get on with it.

So they can sleep on the floor, in the cold, with poo covered bottoms and become better people. Hmmmmmm

I just don't get why anyone would let their kids stay overnight in a house in this cold weather where there is no heating. To me that's crazy.

We don't visit my in-laws in winter (if we do it has to be a special occasion) as they don't put heating on ever and we have to ask them to, in which case they only heat up one room for an hr. after every visit there, my kids gets sick.

My whole comment about social services might be a bit extreme, totally agree. Just think it's odd for any mum to allow their kids to stay somewhere that is so bonkers. Especially if the kids are not that keen on staying there.

The getting sick bit is bollocks.

This is like my sister - the house is always like a fridge.

When I visited with my then month old baby, I asked her to put the electric fire on - she grudgingly put on a single bar, and her three dogs threw themselves in front of it and practically pushed themselves against the element, they were so desperate for "therms"!

How baffling. When my niece and nephew stay at my parents they always share a room (bunk beds) just the same way my two lads do. Don't see the issue here at all. It's only like a hotel, isn't it? If it was at home I'd feel a bit different as I do think you need some privacy but for an occasional visit I'm struggling to see their point.

Bunk beds are fine. Sharing a double bed isn't

Let alone rationing loo roll and no heating

Just don't get why you would send you kids there
