DS 21 sharing a room with us on holiday

[locko55]

Me, DH and DS 21 are going on holiday for a week next month, we have always shared a triple room on holiday, the room has 3 single beds in it. I just wondered recently whether this is not appropriate given that DS is an adult now. DH likes to book a triple room as it is cheaper. DS has never said anything against being in a triple room with us but maybe he doesn't want to complicate matters and just puts up with it.

Well weird. Hes a grown assed man.

I think it is lovely that you all get on so well and want to spend that much time together. Good for you if you can all still enjoy a family holiday like this with your son. I think it just shows what a nice bond you have. It might be unusual but it isn’t weird at all.

Do this all the time. Share rooms with adult child, colleagues, friends. As long as everyone is happy with the situation. Ask DS what he wants.

That’s not the same as sharing a room with a couple. It’s beyond weird.

I think it's perfectly fine, as long as you are all happy with it. He has his own separate bed.

As long as you three are comfortable, I don’t see any harm in it.

It’s be a no from me. DC2 shares with us as he is 6. But DC1 has had her own room from the age of 16.

I'm not sure as we have a 17 and 14 year old but we go away in a caravan we have separate rooms. I think I would book a seperate room with interlocking door

What if he pulls?

My adult DS travelled and shared hostel dorms with multiple strangers, so he probably wouldn’t give a second thought to sharing with us. As long as you are all comfortable with the situation OP, who cares what other people think?

@Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear

I think that is odd and would have been deeply uncomfortable with it at his age.

This!

Not something I would do but each to their own

I’m 34 and my dad still pays if we go away for a weekend somewhere. My partner comes these days too, we go to Scarborough or Southport or various different places.

I suspect it suits him to have the final stay on the hotel, location and parking, etc.

I will add that he does pay for me to have a separate room.

Wouldn’t bother.

My 21 and 19 are coming on holiday with us this year (they’ll share with each, not with us).

It’s unusual that he wants this

Does he still live at home? Does he have friends his own age?

I would give my DS (18) his own room

If that’s too £££ I’d get a cheaper holiday

We quite often get a one bed apartment and both kids (22, 16) sleep in the living room part. If we stop over for a night enroute to say, scotland, we all sleep in one room. Can’t say I think its a problem, if you as a family don’t mind.

So many in here yelp ‘my house, my rules’ but don’t seem to be very tolerant of others ‘rules’.

It’s just a week and what you have done before. 3 single beds. Just a family.
Have a lovely time.

He pays for you and your partner?

Can all the people saying this is 'inappropriate' please tell me why??

A night or 2 yes

A week no

I'd rather have my own space

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Don’t overthink it.

Seriously those complaining about no sex for a week - are you animals that can't go a week without doing it?! I would happily share with my parents even at 43! I share with girlfriends when we go away I don't see the problem?

@GreyhoundG1rl

Well yeah, but one room is no more expensive with a second person occupying it, in fact it’s sometimes cheaper!

We fund ourselves while we’re away, but yeah, he’ll usually pay for the room!

Geezo...im nearly 40 and just booked a Disneyland trip away with my mum and kid son and we are all in the same room. Better cancel now 🤔😂

It's not odd... Its only what you're used to.... Loads of family's go camping together, loads of families like their parents and don't mind it... Ask him!
