To be really uncomfortable about this?

More than happy to be told I am being unreasonable here, but I find it weird and inappropriate.

DD is on holiday abroad with her dad. No issue with this, we co-parent well and have done for many years.

DD facetimed me earlier to show me their hotel room and it transpires that the hotel made a mistake - meaning there is only one bed in the room, and they have to share for the week.

AIBU to think that this is really inappropriate and Dad should either kick up a stink until they change rooms, or he asks for another mattress/air bed and sleeps on the floor?

DD is teenage if that helps, and says she isn't bothered (but he was listening to the call)

YABU - why are you being weird about this, it's fine
YANBU - it's weird and he should sleep on the floor/change rooms

PS - have not brought this up with her dad yet, wanted some unbiased opinions first

Just to add. Posed this question to my 16 year old DD and she laughed and said she would have no problem sharing a bed with her dad. He’s get dad so why should she? Her words.

my DD actively chooses to share with her dad because I snore 😭 and DC aren’t able to share with each other - plus it’s surprisingly hard to get 1 double 2 singles at times!

I would not have liked to share a bed with my dad at 13 or over. Or my mum, for that matter. I was quite womanly at 13, not sure if that makes a difference. Not a little girl, anyway, and full of hormones, crushes etc. It's not appropriate. I do know 13 year olds who look and act like younger kids though, so maybe it's a grey area.

Completely agree

I don’t see a problem here. Would you be uncomfortable sharing a bed with her? Just because men have a penis, doesn’t make them all sexual predators. I would have thought you trusted this man above all others. A bed is for sleeping in, unless you choose to do otherwise. They are sleeping. If your daughter’s ok with it so should you be. It’s her dad!
