Allotting rooms at beach house - should aunt have to share room with four year old?

[Anonymous]

OP - Was there ever an update to this?? i'm dying to know.

Just wondering, a bit off topic, but why is a single woman in DC Urban Moms?

The Nanny forum used to be part the larger DCUM forum. Now it is its own forum. I could see how young, single women who are nannies would still come back to the
DCUM to post. They know it's here already.

Most forums here have nothing to do with kids. That is such a bitchy comment! Do I need kids to post on the pets forum? Sports and fitness? Wow, this site is not a club and kids are not prerequisites.

Of course not. But you don't know that until you actually get INTO the forums. Then you see the wide range of forums that have nothing to do with kids or being a parent. The name itself DC URBAN MOMS AND DADS is not something where you would expect to draw in single, childless women. It makes sense that 23:45 might pose that question. I didn't see it as a "bitchy" comment.

Because she may have ended up here months ago searching some other topic. Or she looked for a patenting forum because she wanted perspective from parents.

Maybe she was looking for a "family" perspective and thought...what the heck might as well try DCUM.

I don't have kids and I found DCUM because when you search infertility terms on Google, DCUM is often high in the search results.
I stayed because Family Relationships is so much more entertaining than Carolyn Hax.

I find it to be both educational and entertaining. Some of these stories really make me count my blessings, lol. Yep - much better than Carolyn Hax.

Forget it! Why can't all the kids be in one room?
If you are 'forced' to share a room with kids, then maybe you can say, well, i'm not paying for the rental or my meals or just half the rental. Something to bargain with.

I'm thinking OP might be the troll whose been making up stories all over the forum, most prolifically on the nanny forum.

I don't visit the nanny forum, but this story was good!

The nanny forum looks closed now?

OP here. Got to house early, claimed a decent room, mom of kids tried to tell four year old to put her stuff in my room. Before I could even say anything, kids said, "nooo!" they wanted to share a room with other kids. hah! I spoke up then and said, yes, that seems like it would make more sense. my parents, in a rare move, actually agreed with me. thanks for the support, I appreciate it!
