+1. It’s fine with the DCUM shrews, many divorced or unable to sustain a relationship, but it does reveal how unhinged OP is to think that post w/that title is OK.

Not the OP, but DH booked separate rooms for this trip. 19 y.o. DS gave him an earful after our last trip when he and his older sister were squeezed on a smaller than a queen couch. They slept in the same bed for years when we traveled but they are now simply too old and big for it.
That’s amazing your 19 year old could pay for their own room!
Seriously. Pretty weird flex that you have a bratty and disrespectful teen.
lol
People may have a variety of things to say about DS, but bratty and disrespectful are not on the list. We can easily afford the second room. DH just prefers for us to all be in one.
Our kids are now young adults and a separate room - or larger suite - makes sense, especially as we can afford it.
FWIW, DS spent the last four or five years creating beds out of sofa cushions but the hotel last summer did not have that option.
Respectful teens don't "give their father an earful." The money is not the point.
Ungrateful and entitled come to mind. I'd send that pi$$y 19 year old off on a "vacation" rebuilding houses in Haiti or somewhere to gain some perspective.

I shared a pullout sofa with my siblings well into our teens. Your kids need some gratitude.

Today, is my anniversary. Husband had the day off. I’m cooking tomorrow and we had nice dinner reservations tonight. Luckily only one guest coming over.
What did he do? He started work on the master bedroom closet renovation. Why today of all days? Only his brain knows the answer. I don’t even have a bed to sleep on. I canceled reservations and I’m moping on the swing set.
Just a vent and commiseration. I’ll try to be thankful for him tomorrow.
Why did you cancel reservations?
Because I hoped it would give him enough time to get our room in order for at least sleeping. Plus I’m pretty pissed? Disappointed? Frustrated?
Why are you upset? Why can’t you use your bed? I think it sounds great that he’s renovating the closet. What are you sad and disappointed about?
I’m wondering if the DH thought getting started on the master closet renovation would be a great anniversary treat/gift.

Yuck. Sorry OP. I get it.
It’s beside the point but in this situation, we make a bed on the floor out of the sofa cushions for one kid (we just ask for an extra flat sheet and blanket & grab a pillow from our bed). My 11yo even did this recently and he found it way more comfortable than sharing the sofa bed with his younger sibling. Sofa beds are bad enough- having to share it is even worse. .
