[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]

The OP said they dont want to *share a room*, not that they don't want the SIL's partner sleeping in their bed.  There is a big difference. Because the SIL's partner doesn't have to sleep in their bed.  He can have the couch or an air mattress.  But OP didn't say that was the problem she said her teens *sharing a room for a couple nights* was the problem. [b]Which is what everyone is saying is stupid.[/b] [/quote]

Plenty of people are saying we don’t make our kids uncomfortable for the holidays so entitled people can avoid getting a hotel.[/quote]
