[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you op.

Not the same situation but we had a house sharing where we paid 1/5 or whatever. Well the college dd of one family - there was a 6th room for her. The family paid a little more, they were getting two rooms.

The room for us / the room for her almost identical. You couldn’t really tell pros and cons until physically in the house. The pictures looked similar.

They were due to arrive a little before us. They wanted her to pick her room, but WE wanted to pick the room first. We had little kids, lots more stuff, tons of wet swimsuits we anticipated needing to hang to dry. We were paying adults, we had way more needs than college kid that could fit in anywhere. Besides, both rooms were great. Just let us get there, and make sure one doesn’t have a larger bathroom or bad light for a baby nap, right?

They made a whole thing about they were getting there first and she’d have to wait hours to settle in somewhere. I understand her perspective. But we weren’t that far behind, and coming from farther. They lived so much closer and are always pulling stuff like asking for early check-in. It’s not our fault we were coming later, we’d gotten up so early to drive.

It’s hard when these younger people almost feel entitled to stuff that they aren’t paying for. They couldn’t see that spending $$$$, we feel like we want first choice above a youngster.[/quote]

I don’t know, I find you unreasonable.  You can see windows in the pics and pics of the bathrooms.  [/quote]

You couldn’t tell which was which. Many of the other pics were mixed up, but you could tell because of features.

BC layout was similar, you couldn’t really tell. One had an extra chair, useful to us. There were other things.

I could trust this family to decide HOWEVER they said we could come and always choose / kick her out if we really needed the room she was in.

That’s where, though I trusted them, I started questioning this process. I’d rather college kid not move in & wait a little while. I didn’t *want* to potentially kick her out. I didn’t also want to feel awkward about stating our choice and not kick her out / kick her out. Could she just wait until about an hour after check-in to let us pick? It also wasn’t our fault they wanted early check in and were able to get it.[/quote]

If they had their own room, and their child did, your family should have gotten the biggest room so you could fit your family in it.[/quote]

House sharing isn’t for people like this. The PP OR the family with the college daughter. [/quote]
