[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, we always had to give up our room/s for family when they visited. This post shows an example of how we as a country are raising spoiled, entitled kids. [/quote]

Seriously, I'm so glad I grew up in a culture where doing this wasn't even a question. If a relative needed my room I would sleep on a mattress on the floor in my parents' bedroom. I slept on the floor in my bedroom while my grandmother got my bed many times. And this was in a 5 bedroom house. The fondest memories of my [b]childhood were holidays spent with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and all the cousins piled into one house with extra mattresses thrown everywhere possible.  [/b]

That’s nice for you but her kids don’t want it so it wouldn’t be a fond memory. And if these are teen girls they should absolutely not be giving up bedrooms for unrelated men, that’s incredibly inappropriate.[/quote]

They’re sharing a room so their aunt can sleep in a bed. A kid giving up a room for an aunt is completely normal in most families. [/quote]

If their boys, and they want to, maybe. An unrelated man sleeping in a teenage girls bed? Not in my household.[/quote]

I cant even imagine why this would bother you. You obviously change the sheets before and after. What is happening that would be so traumatizing? What is in your daughters room that a grown man cant be around?[/quote]

Girls are entitled to their privacy. Having some random man (and thats what a boyfriend is…) their clothes, their personal care items, and in their bed is just gross. These kids have already said they don’t want it, and under no circumstances would I tell them they were wrong.[/quote]

PUT THE AUNT'S BOYFRIEND ON THE COUCH.  Let the aunt and her grown child share the kids room.  Surely your teenage daughter can handle the idea of her own aunt and cousin sharing her living space for a few days.  If not, good luck when she gets to college.  [/quote]

No college I know of does involuntary opposite-sex roommates. Let girls have boundaries, or don’t wring your hands when it turns out they don’t have boundaries….[/quote]

Fine.  Put both the cousin, and the aunt's BF, in the living room on couches or air mattresses.  The aunt can sleep in one teen's room, and the teens can share the second teen's room.  Surely an adult middle aged to elderly female close relative is an acceptable candidate to set foot in your princess's bedroom for a few nights over the holidays.  This surely wouldn't offend your sensibilities.  Or is it truly no room at the inn for anyone, lest your teen daughters have to share a room for a few days?[/quote]
