Adult sharing hotel room with parents?

[Anonymous]

I can't fathom why you would have a problem with sharing a hotel bedroom with your father.

However, I wouldn't necessarily want that many people in one room.

I've shared hotel rooms with just my Dad as an adult woman - it's fine with me as long as there are two beds. That said, 5 people in one room is a lot so get your own room if you'd prefer. Your parents will get used to the idea. You could give them one of your kids (if the kids like this idea) and then swap out on different nights like a private sleep over.

I"ll be the lone dissenting voice. Do they truly not have the money or are they just on the frugal side? You're a grown woman with kids of her own. I do think it's strange for the 3 of you to share a room with your parents. Just get your own room and they should understand that.

As for the strangeness of you sharing your room with your dad...hmmm...I'm not sure about that but I didn't grow up with my dad around so I don't have the normal father/daughter relationship.

But I do have a BIL who travels with MIL somewhat frequently. He's 40, still travels with her and they share hotel rooms. Hate to say it but I do think it's strange and just want to say to MIL "and you wonder why he doesn't date".

I am a grown middle aged daughter and I prefer to share a suite with my parents, when travelling. That way they can get the bed and I can get the sleeper sofa. However, that is because I keep an eye on their health and well being. I would not want to have them travel on their own, because I worry and they like to have me around because it makes them more secure.

We get a suite. There's at least one private bedroom. Usually two. Cheaper than two hotel rooms.

I don't see a difference between sharing a room with my mom or my dad, but I wouldn't be thrilled at the prospect, especially with kids. I like my own space, but might do it for one or two days. They probably see an extra room as extra spending that could be avoided, but you'll probably have to adapt to their schedule/lifestyle rather than the opposite so it's easier for them to say - at least that's how it is in my family. Make an effort, but also know your limits and stick to them!

Either you are the type of person who feels comfortable sharing a room with your parents or you are the type who has to ask -- in which case that answers your question.

the kids issue is different - sounds crowded.

Uhmm... I wouldn't share a room with my dad. Maybe next time you could book one of those adjacent rooms with a door? I do like my space and privacy though. That's just me I guess ha!

I'm the "baby" of our family @31 years old. I've stayed in a suite with my parents and child often. We have a great time!

I would have more of an issue with the collection of people involved. With younger children it's always nicer to have a room where they can go to bed and adults don't have to sit quietly or in the dark. I would opt for a sweet or adjoining rooms and offer to split the cost citing logistics now that the kids are bigger.

I don't think its weird to share with your father. I wouldn't want to dobthis because I don't want to share a bathroom wit 4 people and I couldn't deal with the other people's eep noises.

In most states if not all, hotels only allow a maximum of 4 people per the Uniform Fire Code. That aside, unless I was broke, I'd always opt for my own room with my kids.

It's not weird per se, but I would prefer my own room just so everyone can have more space and be comfortable.

I don't think it's weird to share a room with your parents. I'm in a hotel right now with DH, our baby, and my mom. My dad didn't come this time but I've definitely shared with both parents as an adult. It works for us and DH doesn't mind.

However when we travel and my MIL comes I always spring for a suite...I get claustrophobic staying with her for too long.
