To think my sister’s children should share a bedroom?

[agorina]

Going on a week away in the UK with dsis’ family.

There are 4 ‘kids’, two of mine, and my sister’s two.

There are three bedrooms for between the four.

We used to do this holiday every year, but have not for the last two years.

My kids (!) are aged 23 (m) and 26 (m). Dsis kids are 15(m) and 17 (f).

Every other year, my youngest son, and his male cousin have shared a room. Now that my ds is 23 and has moved out etc, he’s said he’s not keen on sharing. My eldest ds gets his own room, as does my niece. My niece has already assumed that she is getting her own room.

AIBU to think that my sister’s kids should share a room seeing as they are closer in age?

This has to be a reverse - OP cannot be this unreasonable and not see it surely?

Why do the boys need to draw lots? 20somethings sharing makes much more sense than landing one of them with a teenager.

*Girl gets her own room, after that the boys sort out between themselves - they are more than old enough!

Can't see it makes much odds whether the brothers share or the two younger boys share* 🤷‍♀️

This ^^

I also think reverse. Or the op is pissed. Definitely one or the other.

Surely your adult children can contribute to the budget to get an extra room?

My DD and DS1 share a room often if we go on a long weekend. I didn't realise it was an outrageous thing to do!

Dsis kids are 15(m) and 17 (f)

Same age difference between my brother and I. At that age there is not a cat in hell's chance I'd have been happy sharing a room with him. No way. For context: we have always been friends, always got along and always been pretty accomodating of each other. I still wouldn't have shared a room with him.

Why didn't you book somewhere big enough?

I'm shocked that 23 and 26 year olds are interested in this holiday but if they are why didn't you book a house with a sufficient number of bedrooms? I agree with others, if anyone has to share it should be your two sons. You say your sister's children should share as they are closer in age which is really pathetic since there's only one year'a difference betwwen yours and your sister's children.

You could always suggest to your DSis that your two boys share and her two children don't and that you split the costs of the rental on a per room basis - so you pay 2/5 (one room for you and DH and one room for your DS) and she pays 3/5 (one room for her and her DH and one room each for her DC). All other costs to be split equally between the families. See what she says....

Your kids should share.
You should also book a bigger place

Dsis could share with her DD surely?

When my kids were older teens ( one DS and one DD) and we still had family holidays DD and I would share a room and OH and DS would share a second room.

@ArchieStar

I call reverse actually, no one can think it reasonable that two teenage siblings of the opposite sex share a room.

Same. Or reverse troll

If this isn't a reverse, methinks the OP will pretend it is

not reasonable at all. Would you share with your 15 year old brother? Your DS is being precious and unreasonable

Reverse.

Absolutely not.
A 17 year old girl should not have to share with her teenage brother.

The 3 boys need to toss a coin for the other room.
Next time book suitable accommodation OP.

No sorry, I think your two are the most obvious to share.

How did you type that out and not see YABU? Is this a reverse??

Girl definitely needs her own room anything else is unreasonable.

Your kids share, or your youngest and the cousin share, the girl gets her own room

Your sister’s kids share. Not sure why this is even up for discussion. They are 17 and 15 - in no way shape or form should they be getting rooms above the 20 somethings

TBH, we had a similar situation when I was about 18 and my brother was 15, and we shared a room for a week. It didn't both us, but we were more or less adult by then.

*both

Oh ffs BOTHER.
