Do your m/f teenage children share a bedroom on holiday?

Yanbu - yes they do
Yabu - no they don't
It's not really a aibu, I just put that in to enable a vote.
My kids share a room on holiday, I just wonder a little if this is still OK? I think it is.

once puberty hit, I tried to make sure they had separate rooms. It was not always possible so sometimes they had to share a twin. Never share a bed though, no way.

Yes, they love it. I think it's nostalgic for them as they used to share a room and always share on holiday.

Always did, nothing else was ever considered or we would have gone nowhere. Surely if it is really unsuitable then dad/son and mum/daughter could share rooms instead?

Mine do boy 14 and Girl 12 share a room on holidays no problem with it

As long as they get on alright then yes its completely fine. We share tents altogether too. And hotel rooms if necessary.

We always get them their own rooms but sometimes they end up falling asleep in one of their rooms if they’ve watched a film til late or they’ve just been pissing about. We often book a hotel suite/villa and there’s sometimes more bedrooms than needed. They don’t really care, they’re not fussed where they sleep. They get on really well, there’s a 5 year age gap and they don’t fight/argue. Obviously they have privacy for changing/showering.

Yes, 16 and 13. Never been an issue, just wait your turn to change, etc. We couldn't afford to go abroad otherwise. (Caravan holiday, shared room.) They're happy I think to be in each other's company, no rows.

2 DS & 1DD , yes they share & often DD will choose to share with one of her DBs even if there is room available e.g when at my DPs. Sometimes they rotate beds so that each has a turn of being in a room themselves! Not our idea but something they've chosen to do since little & still continue even though mid/late teens now. We've always made sure to have accommodation with enough bedrooms so it is purely their choice.

In their 20s ffm moan sometimes but as the option of not coming is also there, they demure.

I guess that means people won't be able to afford to go anywhere nice. I'm pretty sure if teens were offered a) your own room at home or at Butlins or share a room or even bed on a trip to Greece, many would prefer Greece

Yes they share on holiday. It's fine for a week. They change in the bathroom or take it in turns to get changed in the bedroom.

Yes, of course.
Choice.... do you want to come for an all inclusive, fully paid for week / 10 days in the sun, which involves sharing a bedroom with a sibling or do you not want to come.......... no-one's ever given it a moment's thought.

Mine still share dd16 ds 20. No issues Ds wasn't coming this summer but then managed a week off. Checked with Dd she was happy to share, she looked at me.like I was mad and said she wanted the company. Twin beds with attached shower cupboard. Often dd uses our room to dress when.we have got up. No issues and always give each other privacy to change

DD 18 doesn't mind sharing with ds 15 who has ASD and severe learning disabilities. We have a 3 bedroom apartment booked for a trip to Spain but they will share a hotel room on the way back.
For short trips dd doesn't mind sharing and would rather go abroad sharing a room than not go 😂

This hahaha.

Of course they do. I ask for twin beds. If we are in a villa and I can get 3 bedrooms fine but no way am I paying for 3 hotel rooms and neither am I sharing with any of them. They’ve never objected

Mine would not share by choice, but when presented with the choice of share, or don't go on holiday, they all share with good grace. This is a combo of boys and girls. We try, whenever possible to give them their own spaces, but it can be the difference between a holiday being affordable and unaffordable.
We also try to make a girls' room and a boys' room, but when we have traveled with only one of each, they have shared a room.

During the period when we had teens, pre-teens and younger in the mix, they really struggled to share. At that point we would take two rooms wherever we went: the boys shared with dad, the girls shared with mum. But before and after those ages, sharing on holiday has always worked out.

@Passthecake30 that's crazy, no way would I agree to this. At that age I would have preferred to share with my brother than my Mum anyway!

We sometimes camp or stay in hostels in which case the whole family shares a room, never bothered any of us.

Just been away and had two bedrooms, one girl and boy opted to share and the other girl slept in our room. This was the best way to avoid arguments... And worked sort of 😀

Mine aren't teens yet (11 and 9), but there's no way DD would agree to share with her brother, and WW3 would break out if we tried to force the issue.

We holiday in 3 bed villas or cottages because of this.

My two share and they always have done are in their 20’s now. Means a cheaper holiday, the price for three bedroom place goes up dramatically.

Mine did until age around 16 (DD) and 12 (DS).
They are now 14 and 18 and while DS would his sister really doesn’t want to so I don’t make them
It makes holidays a lot more expensive but it’s inevitable I suppose being of different sexes

I think it really depends if they're okay with it or not. I get most would rather have their own room if given the choice but if they don't complain too much and you have no other concerns about then then I wouldn't over think it.

Mine are older teens and a hotel room for a night or two they would be fine to share a twin room, but I wouldn't expect them to share for a week as I know they wouldn't be comfortable.

We have a 2 bed villa this year and DD19 and DS15 will share a room but they literally only have to sleep in there, plenty of room to do their own thing during the day. They've always got on brilliantly so it's not a problem.

If it was hotel rooms we wouldn't now, just because it makes more sense and less moaning (about privacy etc) to have a girls room and a boys one.
