My son is 24, he lives a few hours away with his friend, so we rarely see him especially with covid. He has mental health issues and last year he was very depressed and suicidal and his friend helped him through it.
A couple of months ago, I asked him if he wanted to come on holiday with us, he said yes but asked if his friend could come and I agreed.
We got here yesterday, and my sisters children would've had to share a room so DS and his friend got their own room, DS and his friend offered to share. Since then, my sister has been making ridiculous comments to DS, asking him why he wants to share with his friend, and asking why his friend can't go on holiday with his family.
She then said to me that, if she lived with her friend, she wouldn't want to bring them on a family holiday, I told her that it was up to DS. She then said that they're going to ruin the holiday, they're going to be doing their own thing as we will be with our younger children, so I don't see how they're going to ruin it.
Am I Bu in thinking she's being ridiculous? Or would you agree with her?
AIBU?
To think my sister is being ridiculous with these comments?

I spoke to my sister and she told me that them sharing a room is making her feel uncomfortable and one of them should sleep on the sofa.
When DS and his friend came back my sister told them that sharing a room is ‘weird’ (again!
) but they told her it's not and then they told us that they're leaving on Friday and they're going to spend the weekend with his friends’ family as we are only about an hour or two away from them, I'm not sure if his friend heard my sister and felt unwelcome or if they just planned it.
My sister then started telling me that they're ungrateful etc, but we were only meant to stay until Sunday morning so they aren't missing out on much.

They're sharing because she made a fuss of her kids sharing! Your sister is being impossible.
They share- it's weird
Her kids share- unacceptable
DS has his friend there- she makes everyone feel awkward
They leave- they're being ungrateful.
It's such a shame she has ruined what could have been a nice holiday for everyone.

Your sister is rude, and quite blatantly homophobic.
No wonder they are leaving early.
