[/quote]
Because they are selfish.[/quote]
🙄 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. [/quote]
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. [/quote]
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 🙄[/quote]
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.[/quote]
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. [/quote]
Right. Because air mattresses don’t exist.

Your attitude is selfish. You can keep defending it but the adjective doesn’t change.[/quote]
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. [/quote]
You own your parents house? That’s nice of you.[/quote]
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. [/quote]
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. [/quote]
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. [/quote]

My sister and I wouldn't think twice about sharing a bed for 2-3 nights. Especially if it meant we were putting my mom on the couch! Why is it so hard for you to believe people were raised differently than you?[/quote]
Excellent use of sock puppeting. You’re not putting your mom on the couch. Your cousin, her DH, and her 2 kids are.[/quote]

Jeff can confirm, the above was my first in this thread. But my first accusation of being a sock puppet after all these years on the internet. Right on!
 Right now (absent a hotel booking), Mom has invited OP and family. Sisters refuse to bunk together for a few days. So that leaves Mom on the couch. 
Why can’t you accept that other families handle things differently? Your way isn’t the ONLY way to handle things. [/quote]
And neither is yours. I’ve never needed to be invited to my parents’ home, as they’ve never needed to be invited to mine. I would never extend invitations to people that would necessitate adults that aren’t married/in a romantic relationship to each other sharing a bed, not just a room, but an actual bed. [/quote]

I’m not saying my way is the only way. You seem to be stuck that your way is the only way to handle things and arguing with anyone who doesn’t agree with you. I think the adult sisters are ridiculous for the solution to be “put mom on the couch”. I’m glad OP is considering a hotel and thinking about her aunt’s comfort because her selfish adult daughters sure as heck aren’t thinking about their mom’s comfort in a house they are GUESTS in.
