We will have her stay in our room.</p> <p>Our guest room is in our basement, and during the winter, it's pretty chilly. I don't mind her staying there if my step-dad is with her, but when she's alone, I think our room is a nicer, more comfortable option. </p> <p>I wouldn't offer it to anyone else, and for my mom, it isn't weird at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed/page/2#post-2401830 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 12:59:14 +0000 JenGirl 2401830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I did make sure that all the naughty things were tucked away in the bottom drawer of the bedside table. I figure if someone goes snooping it's their own fault for finding anything they don't want to see. I'm married and have a baby, so I assume people know we're having sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed/page/2#post-2397675 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 22:17:43 +0000 avivoca 2397675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have before. It doesn't really bother me. One day, we'll have a guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed/page/2#post-2397606 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:34:04 +0000 Ms. RV 2397606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bedroom is my happy place. No guests stay there because I need that sanctuary. </p> <p>I agree with @T.H.O.U.: You guys should go to a hotel if none of your famiy will! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397571 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:03:23 +0000 mrsjyw 2397571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend and I slept in our bed the night before my wedding! Dh was w his bffs at his parents.</p> <p>Otherwise nope, never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397556 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:38:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2397556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I vote you guys go sleep at the hotel! Sounds like babysitters and a nice night away for you guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397434 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:57:40 +0000 MrsSCB 2397434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who committed to coming first? I would give the extra bed to that couple, and then tell the other one your guest room is already taken, but you're happy to book them a hotel. I can't imagine someone arguing with that without seeming really immature (although I guess that's still possible :-P ) I can't really imagine offering up my bed, and if someone I was visiting offered theirs, I would NEVER accept. Pregnant or not -- I'd just get a hotel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397429 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:55:51 +0000 MaryM 2397429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had a smaller house and only one guest bedroom, I did. </p> <p>Our "guest" bed was actually an antique 3/4 size bed (it was 3/4 the size of a double bed). When couples would visit, I would ask them to sleep in my bed both for their comfort and because I didn't want the bed to break (it was my great-great-great-great grandmother's).</p> <p>Now that we have another guest room with a queen bed in it, yeah, no. We have a twin pull out and the old bed, so I don't think we'll have so many people over that they need our room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397425 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:52:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2397425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't offer our bed. It's just weird to me. Honestly, if you're full, you're full. I personally think they either need to deal with the accommodations you provide or get a hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397393 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:18:15 +0000 IRunForFun 2397393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd never offer our bed to guests, I don't care who it is. Our bedroom and bed is our private space. I'd either say we don't have room or just let them duke it out between the bed and the air mattress. If they refuse to get a hotel room, especially if you'd foot the bill, that's their problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397387 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:12:00 +0000 TrailRunner 2397387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two queen guest beds, so we never offer up our own queen bed bc it's essentially the same. The one time we actually slept in my MILs bed was this past weekend when I was pregnant and she has an exchange student staying in her only guest room. There's no way I could have slept in her couch like we normally do when she has her guest room full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397325 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:39:43 +0000 Cole 2397325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you should take the hotel room and just let them all figure it out amongst themselves! :silly: </p> <p>We haven't offered our bed but thankfully our families have offered to get hotel rooms when we are having a lot of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397062 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 12:57:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2397062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenGirl: and what about "toys" in your drawers or "gel" in your bathroom? If you don't have this stuff NBD obviously, but for me I'd have to round up some things and hide them! Who doesn't snoop a little when given the chance? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397060 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 12:56:49 +0000 HappyBaker 2397060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yup lots of strangeness in this family!! Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397032 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 12:44:54 +0000 JenGirl 2397032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, we are tonight. We only have two bedrooms, so we kept a queen bed in the nursery along with my son's crib. So when guests come over they sleep in our room and we sleep in the nursery. A little weird, but better than them sleeping in the same room as the baby. My son just outgrew the bassinet and started using the crib, so this will be the first time we try this but I think it'll be fine. We'll put on fresh sheets and get our clothes for the next day set out in the nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2397000 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 12:26:35 +0000 Anagram 2397000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: whoa..there's animosity between BIL and his hife, and BIL (and your husband's) own parents? How bizarre. So in our families, where we do give up our own personal space if needed, everyone is tripping over themselves to let the other person take the better space, so it's really the opposite situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2396444 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 00:34:51 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2396444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never offer up my bed to guests. To me, my master bedroom is mine and DH's private, intimate space. It just seems weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395825 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:48:06 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2395825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would offer without a doubt for a pregnant guest! And have in the past for a friend. It doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395824 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:46:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2395824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Oh boy! you're like us- willing to sponsor their stay! It's not the most pleasant phone call since they both parties think the bed should be theirs, but I suggest letting each couple know the kind of space you have available up front and then whoever gets their first gets the bed. Both of our dads ended up staying with us last weekend. My dad who is older by 13 years than FIL got the guest queen because he arrived a day earlier. Both gents knew an air mattress may have been in their future though.</p> <p>ETA: I don't know if pregnancy trumps age for a bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395818 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:41:18 +0000 autumnlove 2395818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offered after LO 1 was born since I had trouble getting into my bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395815 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:38:34 +0000 HappyBaker 2395815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: So they both are assuming the other couple is going to give them the guest room...there's a bit of animosity between them so it's just a super weird situation! Last time both came BIL and wife got a hotel and were super bitter about it the whole time, that's why I was thinking maybe this time MIL and FIL could get the hotel. We don't mind paying for it but they all just think it's inconvenient because its 15 minutes away.</p> <p>ETA (It's really NOT inconvenient :-)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395805 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:25:37 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2395805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: where do you think the guests are planning to stay in your home? Why make MIL and FIL get a hotel room with BIL and SIL are the ones you're really fretting over.</p> <p>I hate guests that sleep in or get up too early. LOL. A friend of mine was scolded for being a host that slept in. I didn't mind when I visited the same friend and I woke up first because it gave me an opportunity to pick up Panera Bread as a surprise thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395785 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:03:23 +0000 BandDmommy 2395785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have not, it weirds me out for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395783 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 13:02:22 +0000 Pepper 2395783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we've let guests sleep in our bed, and I've stayed with friends who have let me use their bed. It doesn't bother me at all, as long as the sheets are clean and the pillows are fresh. I don't see much difference between sleeping in a friend's/family member's bed versus sleeping in a hotel bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395739 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:30:07 +0000 Littlebit7 2395739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd push for air B and B or a hotel. Our max capacity is two in the guest room on the full bed. Three is pushing it if someone wants the couch. Past that, it's not fun for anyone and I just won't give our bed up unless we won't be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395676 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:51:14 +0000 FaithFertility 2395676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family like my mom or sisters absolutely, anyone else IDK....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395672 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:50:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2395672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know.. Never had a situation come up like that! I want to say no, but in your case, I guess I would... But then again, we really can't b/c we bed share w/ DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395615 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:22:24 +0000 Anagram 2395615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as we have sheets on, we have offered our bedroom to guests several times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395582 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:52:05 +0000 Adira 2395582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offered once to my parents when they were going to stay at our house to watch Xander while we were at the hospital having Logan, but thankfully they didn't take me up on it! I doubt I'd offer it to anyone else unless they were doing me a huge favor like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guests-in-your-bed#post-2395578 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:48:01 +0000 HappyBaker 2395578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: She's around 20 weeks but is a SUPER complainer even when she's not pregnant! I'm thinking of just trying harder to convince my MIL and FIL to get a hotel, thinking of this many people is stressing me out haha. Also none of them wake up before 9/10am and our kids are up at 5:30 so its just hard having them as house guests! </p>
