Because they are selfish.

Why are they selfish? I disagree. I think the aunt on the couch is a better solution than two adult women sleeping together when they don’t want to.

Then one if the daughters could sleep on the couch instead of being so childish as to not share a room with their sister.

Why should a grown ass adult have to sleep on a couch in their family home to accommodate their cousin?

Because it’s their mother’s home and she has done the inviting.

🙄 because their marital status matters. OP is the cousin, the sisters are the daughters of the host. I can’t imagine my cousin showing up to stay in my family home and expecting that everyone needs to rearrange around them and their family. I’m not saying OP is acting like this, but the posters here are being ridiculous.

They are guests as well. That is their mother’s home and she invited OP and her family to stay. It is supremely selfish to have your mother sleep on a couch because you can’t share a room with your sister.

By your eye roll it’s clear you’re a selfish person as well.

Are you really suggesting that the children of the host are equivalent on the guest chain as their cousin? That’s just absurd. I’ve never been considered a guest in the home of my parents. I’m guessing you’re a crappy parent with a crappy relationship with your kids 🙄

Sorry to disappoint but my kids would never behave like you that they were too good to share a room. But you’re selfish so you’ll never get it.

It’s not just sharing a room but sharing a bed, and you have no idea how your kids will behave when they are adults and are told they have to share a bed because their out of town adult cousin, her DH and their 2 kids need to crash with them.

Right. Because air mattresses don’t exist.

Your attitude is selfish. You can keep defending it but the adjective doesn’t change.

Your aunt means well but inviting her 2 adult daughters and your family of 4 to stay with her with only 3 bedrooms available for the 8 of you was never a good plan. And I’ll be honest, as an adult I would have been like WTF if I was going to spend Christmas at my mom’s house and was told I had to share a bed with my sister because my cousin’s family was planning to stay there too.

Same!! I was always the one being displaced since I was single. Everyone would have a place to sleep except me and I'd be left scrambling to find a friend I could stay with. People think single people don't need good sleep too, and I don't get it. I think the hosts kids get first dibs and then cousins can get the hotel. OP--just do the hotel. Everyone will be glad you did. You won't be stressed out when the baby wakes up at night, and they won't be pissed because a baby woke them up at night. You can shower at your leisure, make coffee in your room, get room service for breakfast, and relax and enjoy. Then head to your aunts for the bulk of the day, then retreat. You'll be glad you did and it will make the visit more pleasant for everyone. It's also less time you have to be chasing your kids around a house that probably hasn't been baby proofed.

You don't have kids, so you don't get it. They will likely have to leave before dinner to put the kids to bed. What's the point of visiting at all then?

Because it is good manners.

I’m sorry but I would never prioritize my niece and nephew over my own kids and make it so that my adult kids have to share a bed so that my niece or nephew and their family have a room to themselves.

I’d say we can take the living room and buy an air mattress when you get there.

Nope. I definitely don’t have to sleep on an air mattress over Christmas because my cousin has a husband and 2 little kids. My cousin’s parents should be helping them with their accommodations if that’s needed.

You own your parents house? That’s nice of you.

No, but I have a good enough relationship with my parents that I know I wouldn’t be shoved into a bed with my sibling to accommodate a cousin and their family. And let’s be real, when push comes to shove random cousin isn’t going to be the one helping my parents when they get old, so I don’t feel bad about being prioritized over them.

So the rest of the day doesn't count for you?

That’s great your parents raised someone so selfish to not respect that they have the autonomy to invite guests to stay in their home.

Weird take and not applicable. Everyone in the OP’s situation has a place to stay. The daughters can be in the same room.

You can keep this up all you want but it’s ridiculous to suggest that someone with a good relationship with their kids would prioritize their niece/nephew over their own kids.
