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.

Connecting rooms? Split up adults?

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

I guess this is sarcasm?

Yes.

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.

We are the adults. We sleep together. Some of you let your kids run your lives.

This is the worst excuse I’ve ever seen for being cheap and trying to cram 5 people in one room because you can’t be away from your booooyfriend for a night or two.

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.

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

Agree. My son usually gets stuck on the pull out sofa when we travel. He says it’s not great, but better than sleeping with his sister or one of his parents

What are you smoking? They're really not. We just bought a nice once and while it's passable for one adult to sleep on there is no way 2 adults could sleep well for any extended period of time. You're delusional if you think this is comfortable.

Or just cheap.

Twice I stayed in an apartment in Paris with an amazing sofa-bed. I asked the owner for the make and model number and ordered one for our home.

So yes, they are fine. Maybe you detractors just stayed in a cheap hotel.

I wouldn’t risk it without getting permission but I do sympathize because it’s ridiculous if a couple and their kids are traveling together and can’t be accommodated in one room.

Growing up as one of 4 kids we were definitely raised sneaking 2 kids up the back stairwell of the hotel/motel - lol - but they crack down more now. I have fond memories of our crazy sleeping arrangements back then. 3-4 kids on a sofa bed like sardines!
