[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And of how many prioritize a child having their own room every night over relationships with family. Most of the world would be shocked by that as well. That people do not have welcome or want family in their lives if it creates any inconvenience at all for them. [/quote]

My parents don't need to sleep in my bed for us to have a relationship.[/quote]

This thread wasn’t about sleeping in your bed. It was providing a bed - any bed- for older visiting adults. I am sure your relationship would be stronger if they were able to visit you at your home (assuming they aren’t local). Kids do t really get to know grandparents who live far away and aren’t allowed to visit in the home.[/quote]

It's not an option for us. We have two bedrooms and two beds (one full, one twin). There aren't beds for anyone else.

But your idea that you don't get to know your grandparents unless they sleep in your home is bullshit. Our kids spend two weeks traveling with my in-laws most years, they spend at least a week camping with my parents every year. That's on top of shorter visits throughout the year. None of that would change if grandparents spent the night. My grandparents never slept in my house growing up, and we never slept at there house either (we usually traveled to them), but we were plenty close in a culture the values family a great deal. You're focused on the wrong things.[/quote]

Your parents pay to get each child their own hotel room when you travel? And I don’t believe you about camping. Your kids can’t possibly sleep in their siblings room on an air mattress but they can sleep with multiple people in a tent? Surely you wouldn’t ever allow them to be treated so cruelly. [/quote]
