Holiday dilemma!

[undercovercarrot]

A woman i work with has a lovely french house she rents out for holidays , and Ive recommended it to my parents who have booked a week in Aug. My 3 sisters who are all in their late teens now are also going, and as it sleeps 6 I thought I would also go along as havnt been on holiday with my family for many many years.. Im going on hol with my DP also but have a few extra AL days left, and would love to spend some quality time with my family (im 26)

My AIBU query is this - my 18 yr old sister is desperate for her boyfriend to come. Im not so keen on him and would love it to just be me and my sisters so we can have fun 'girl' time. The house only sleeps 6 and my sis wants me to ask the woman I work with who owns the house if there is room for one more - i.e. with someone on the sofa. AIBU to lie to her and say there is no extra room in the house? Inevitabley it'll be me or one of my other sisters on the sofa while her and her boyf have their own room which doesnt seem fair. AIBU to a. not want him to come? b. lie to her about it?!

How do your parents feel about the boyfriend coming? It's really up to them as they've booked it. I think your feelings are reasonable/understandable, but telling a lie because of them YABU

undercovercarrot, did you express yourself to your sisters and family? Did you say you thought it would be lovely for all of you to spend some quality time as a family? As luckylady74 asked, "What do your parents think?".

If you haven't try that approach first. I think it is a lovely idea for your whole family to spend some time together.

Maybe your sister hasn't thought about it in that context and once you have explained it in that contect she may agree.

Thanks for replying. My parents are quite laid back and would generally do anything for a quiet life(!) but I think they would prefer it if he didnt come - purely for space issues -they are paying quite a bit for the holiday and do not want one of us having to kip on the sofa.. I have suggested if he wants to come he should sleep on the sofa but that sounds a bit mean/bitter..

Thanks for your suggestions though - I will speak to my parents again about it.
