AIBU to share a hotel room with my adult children?

I have been divorced for over 20 years and have had no interest in finding another partner. I occasionally go on holiday with my adult children, DD27 and DS25. We sometimes stay in Airbnbs and sometimes in hotels. AIBU to share a hotel room with them? We each have separate single beds and each get changed and washed in the bathroom with the door closed. I can afford to pay to take them away (I like 5* hotels which my DC couldn’t afford to pay for themselves) but I couldn’t afford to pay for multiple rooms. Everyone is happy with the arrangement. AIBU?

Me and my parents used to have trips to London and I always shared with them. I had the pull out sofa bed. Why spend more on multiple rooms if you don't have to?

I think it's entirely reasonable if you share a room and everyone is happy. I have shared with my parents previously when we travelled to a family engagement party. Meant I wasn't copping the cost of a room I couldn't afford & we only slept & showered there.

I also think it'll become more common as prices are now prohibitive. I'm also now agreeing to stay with people rather than hotels if travelling for a reason/visit (if invited). Previously hell would freeze over before I'd do that. I like my space.

Why use the comparison of a friend then?

Not sure what needs explaining there 🤣

I would hate it. I don’t understand why folk share post puberty. I would rather go somewhere cheap, or not go at all. So I do find it unreasonable.

But if you’re all ok, go ahead.

What does puberty have to do with it? The mind boggles.

No need for boggling. In my experience, that’s when people start to want more privacy.

As I said in my post, it’s my preference. If it suits others to share that’s up to them.

Of course it’s okay if everyone is happy with it!

Of course not, in fact it's lovely being in the same room.
