When family come to visit you, how do you decide where each one sleeps?  

Well

first its great that ur parents are coming to meet u along with ur aunt and uncle

Well dont worry much about it

Well if i would be u i would be working on two options

1-I would Say That Give Bed room to Parents and Son room to uncle and Aunt on Aired Mattress and family stay in lounge

2- All ladies in Bed Room, Males in Son Room and Lounge and adjust accordingly

as it will be martter of 7-10 days and when u will be meeeting after long times, i am sure you would have lot to share and enjoy so you wont be having much time to sleep. and when they are coming they know where u live and accomodation u have so they must be mentally prepare for that

wish u all the best and happy time


take care

we have only two rooms, my father sleep on the other room, me and my husband on the other, my mother on the sofa, and my baby beside her.

There will definitely be some adjustment made to your son's room. To be able to make them feel comfortable during their stay, you need to buy the double air-bed and have them both on the floor and move the bunk bed to the corner. You can use the mattresses for your husband and son to sleep in the lounge. If you like you can share the master bedroom with your mum and aunt, if you don't mind sleeping with them.

We don't get much company but one year my two Aunts came to visit..I offered them our bed and we slept on an Air Mattress in the spare room. That was only two people though..I would suggest just letting them choose..Depending on how easy it is to get up and down an air mattress might not be right for them..and you never know..one of them may be happy just sleeping on the couch...and who knows maybe one of them is springy enough to get on the top bunk...LOL..Don't stress...Everything will work out..

I would ask them who wants to sleep in the king size bed and then who would want to sleep on the bottom bunk. Then I would buy an air mattress for you all to use in the lounge room. If you need to I would buy a second air mattress and see which room they are comfortable sleeping in.

For us, we are almost rather automatic if we were to visit. We would rather put up at the hotel first. At most, cancel the hotel if we are offered accomodation. Normally, if there is only one person, it is fine to have the relative sharing a room with us. Often, it depends on who the relative is closer to. Of course, we decide and dictate where the visitor is going to sleep :P

Well i have been away from home for around 7 years now. In my college and school days i used to stay in a hostel so none of my family members were allowed to stay with me. So i always used to prefer myself going home rather then my parents visiting to see me.
Now i have started working and i stay in a flat with my friends. And my parents have decided to come over here for 3-4 days. As it was already planned, we are 5 guys staying together in a flat. And i had already decided that i would be staying a single room so that my famil can easily stay with me. So when my family comes, they would be sleeping in my room ( i have to get it cleaned by that time..lol) and i could adjust with my friend in his room. this is a mutual understanding so that next time if any of my friend's parents come over here, the same thing can be done..

Inflatable air mattresses. THe best way to go when you need extra room. We were fortunate and found one that is acutally on a stand. Found it at Walmart. It's a king size so we sit it up in the dining room area (no table in there) and we fold it up at night. I'd give my parents my room, uncle/aunt the other room, and my husband and myself would sleep where ever we could.
Have a great visit and don't worry about the sleeping arrangements, they will work themselves out!
Have a great day!

If I were to give up my bed, I would give it to the married couple - your aunt and uncle. My parents slept in bunkbeds in their retirement years (when visiting friends) but not sure how old they were at the time. Your relatives might be too elderly to sleep on the top bunk. Personally, I cannot give up my bed to relatives because I have a sleeping disorder and find it difficult sleeping anywhere else. This is why we have a futon couch in the family room - it folds down into a double bed.

We are expecting guests at the end of May. When my parents or my husband's parents have stayed we have put them on the futon in the family room but I have felt rather uncomfortable about that lately because there is no door. Well, there wasn't. DH went out and bought an accordian door and installed it so whoever sleeps there will have some privacy. We also have extra mattresses that we can throw on a floor. They're old but they are better than nothing. My oldest daughter has a double bed but it is not on a frame, it sits on the floor. She says she doesn't want a bed because then she will just shove stuff under it. She can give up her room, but I have problems with needing to get into our own rooms to get clothing. We have 3 of my husband's sisters coming to stay with us. I will probably put two up in the family room and one in my younger daughter's room (or 2 in there if one doesn't mind sleeping on the mattress she has on the floor). My girls love sleeping on the futon in the family room because they watch tv until they fall asleep. That's just on special occasions like a long weekend or something.

But these people are younger and yours are older (though age doesn't really say much these days). How do you think these elderly (?) people would feel about sleeping on an air mattress on the floor? Would they find it difficult getting up? If they are spry folks then put the aunt and uncle in your room and your mother and aunt in your son's room and you and your family sleep in the lounge however you can work it. If they are staying for a week not only do they need to be comfortable, but so do you. One or two nights doesn't matter much, but a whole week does.

Hi maddysmommy, if you and your husband are in pretty good health I would give the beds to the visiting family and buy those blow up mattress. That way you and your husband and son can sleep on the blow up mattresses and still be comfortable. Have a great time with your family and enjoy!
