Just because nobody complains doesn’t mean nobody is uncomfortable.

We do this. Three kids (8, 10, 10) in one bed, my boyfriend and I in the other. Our kids can’t be in a different room. They are too young.

We don’t have a lot of money but love to travel. Our kids have never complained, because they love to travel!

Are all of the kids yours, all his? Or a mix?
Of course the kids are too young to be in their own room, but you and your boyfriend should each sleep in a room. You with your kids in one room, your boyfriend with his kids in the other. Or all the females in one room, all the males in another.
At ages 8-10 they are way too big to all share one queen size bed.

Two are mine; one is his. We compromise on space so that we can travel more. No one complains.

Girl be quiet. Those kids are not happy to be shoved in a bed all 3 together because you and your boyfriend can’t afford a second room.

The kids can’t be in a room by themselves. They are kids.

There are two adults, dingus. You each sleep in a room with your kids. That’s what everyone else does instead of cramming 3 people into one bed.

We are a family of 4 and on our last trip in December decided a regular room was too small for us now that the kids are almost both teenagers LOL

In France you pay per person, not per room. You would be turned away from your reservation if you showed up with an extra child. This situation is discussed on travel forums. It is not infrequent. Even infants count on a reservation.

Fire codes, OP. Pay attention to them.

Connecting rooms? Split up adults?

The adults can't split up! It's OP's BOYFRIEND.

NP here.

My boyfriend and I and our kids usually get a suite. Sofa beds these days are pretty good. We put the three kids in the king-size bed and the 2 of us on the sofabed in the living area works well. Kids are asleep several hours before us so it makes sense.

Singapore

No.
Write ahead and state your circumstances. Singapore has very strict laws.

Agreed. This would be the last place I would ever consider this.

X1000 it’s so strict I think I’d avoid the country altogether. Don’t chew gum.

Boyfriend sleeps with their kid. Girlfriend sleeps with theirs. Not that hard.

Also, calm down on exclamation marks and all caps. Most can read and can figure out how to split up a hotel room.

Eeek. Never met a hotel sofa bed that was comfortable enough for 2 adults. No way.

Some of us know it's inappropriate to fornicate with our minor children just a foot or two away.

I don’t see anybody saying “let kids run the adult’s lives.” Boyfriend and girlfriend traveling with their kids presents challenges when getting a hotel. Somebody suggested kids have their own room. The response was kids are too young for own room- which I don’t think is true if rooms are connected. Somebody suggests each parent getting room with their own child. Response is kids are running adult’s lives. I guess last option is to not travel.

Would you just book the room (Suite) that has a max of 4?

Get two rooms. If you can afford to go to Singapore, you can afford two rooms. Also, everybody will be more comfortable and rest better with two rooms. Bathroom situation with five in a room sounds terrible too- toilet, makeup, shower, brushing teeth…not enough room.

It’s not the kids making the rules, it’s the hotel occupancy limits. You just don’t like the solution to the problem of your kids being too young to sleep in a room by themselves.

Also, if kids are too young for their own room, I don’t see why connecting rooms is an issue? If you leave the door open, it’s essentially the same room.
