I think we've been in every room, including the master, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043329 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 07:40:31 +0000 pui 1043329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have a bunch of rooms. They rent them out to students, so we stay in one of the unoccupied ones when we visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043223 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 06:22:21 +0000 Dandelion 1043223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents have 2 adult guest rooms and one kid guest room, so if all their children are there, me and DH can be in one room, my brother and SIL in another and DS and niece share the kid room...my younger brother will just sleep on the couch or something.</p> <p>But, we live only 10 minutes away, so they really only need to accommodate my brothers...and DS when he spends the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043169 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 01:14:41 +0000 shopaholic 1043169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never stayed at my parent's house since it's only 1/2 hr. away. I stay in SIL's old room at my IL's house since DH still prefers to sleep in his old dungeon-of-a-room in a twin bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043153 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:31:23 +0000 autumnlove 1043153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Ha, poor DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043152 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:27:19 +0000 luckypenny 1043152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guest bedroom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043150 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 00:24:46 +0000 lemondrop 1043150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scorpions.</p> <p>So I try not to. Plus they have replaced me with 300 cats, and that doesn't go well with my husband's allergies (really, who has ever heard of a vet that is allergic to cats!!) so luckily being an hour and a half away, we go for a few hours then back to our own bed. :)</p> <p>My IL's have guest rooms and cribs/p&amp;p's since they live far away from grandkids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043077 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:22:57 +0000 autumnlove 1043077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Haha, we have a Cal King at home so sharing a twin will never work!</p> <p>I think we will put my toddler in my brother's room and the three of us will sleep in my room. My baby is ok with lights turned on and off but my LO is not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043072 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:19:16 +0000 betsyboop 1043072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep in my old room and lo sleeps in my brother's room when he's not there. Otherwise she stays in a guest room.</p> <p>@autumnlove: I'm totally telling dh this, he always complains that my full bed is too small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043070 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:16:32 +0000 DigAPony 1043070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I see! Sharing a twin sounds awful! Sometimes I want to kick my husband out of our queen. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043063 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:07:35 +0000 autumnlove 1043063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DigAPony: My parents always offer their master bedroom but I don't want to inconvenience them when we visit. We tried sharing a twin last time...that got old after 5 minutes! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043060 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:03:26 +0000 DigAPony 1043060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my parents', the guest room; at my in-laws', a guest room that was my husband's room when he still lived at home.</p> <p>@autumnlove: Do your parents not allow you guys to sleep in the same room, or did it just work out that way because there's a twin in your old room? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1043000 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 21:13:17 +0000 yin 1043000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both parents and in-laws live very close so we never spend the night. Sometimes family wonders why we don't spend the night during family events that last a few days since we keep going back and forth. Sleeping in my own house is worth the hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042824 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:51:18 +0000 NavyRN2012 1042824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents- the guest bedroom (they have 2), and LO sleeps in a PnP of my moms. ODS sleeps with my parents, haha.<br /> My ILs- in my MIL's bed. MIL and FIL don't share a room (weird I know, but he snores super loud). LO is in a PnP of my ILs and ODS is typically in FILs bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042792 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:41:15 +0000 fancyfunction 1042792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep in my old room on a pull-out couch with my daughter in the pnp next to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042790 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:40:46 +0000 Glitter 1042790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take mom's room...

Sucks to try and sleep in a double bed when both DH and I are there after being used to our king, lol. MIL is only 20 minutes away, so we don't stay there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042780 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:37:22 +0000 ElbieKay 1042780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents live less than an hour away. I have never slept at their house since moving out 13 years ago.</p> <p>My husband and I occasionally crash at my MIL's house. It started before we got engaged, when his father was very sick and we needed to be around a lot on the weekends. Now it maybe happens once or twice a year if we're there late for a holiday. I really prefer to come home because I don't like having other people around in the morning before I have showered, dressed, and had some breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042762 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:28:04 +0000 MrsF 1042762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M sleeps in a p'n'p in my old bedroom and DH and I sleep in the guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042748 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:17:18 +0000 chopsuey 1042748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My old room or the guest room downstairs.<br /> I actually like sleeping on the sectional in the family room best though :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042745 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:14:58 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1042745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep in my old bedroom or my sister's depending on who is there. If all 3 of my siblings are there, DH and I have usually slept on the couch, but that will prolly change once DD is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-sleep-when-you-visit-your-parents#post-1042733 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 19:07:03 +0000 birdofafeather 1042733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we all sleep in my brother's old room. my mom moved stuff around when i was pregnant so we could be closer to a bathroom (my old room was across the house from the shared bathroom.)
