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

For your needs, I'd go with the extra airmattresses with Mum and Aunt in your bed, Aunt and Uncle on airmattresses and you and hubby on bunkbed mattresses in the Lounge. Sounds good to me. As for me - I don't allow my family to sleep over. My parents would hate my bed and complain all the time, and my sister snores so loud she literally raises the roof which would keep me up all night and make me crabby in the morning. If my brothers came they could just bunk in a tent in the back yard! Can you tell I'm not a family person? LOL Actually I am, but sleep overs are just not in the cards unless it's an emergency because I just hate being crabby. Spoils the visit.

That's great that your family is coming to visit! Now, I would do the air mattress in your son's room and an air mattress in the living room. You and your hubby can sleep in the living room on the air mattress, your son can sleep on the sofa, Aunt and Uncle in your son's room on the air mattress and your Mom and Dad in your room on your bed. Hope this helps and have fun with your visit

I am lucky enough to have an In-law suite in my house. We have made our basement into an apartment. Its has a seperate bedroom, bathroom, living area, and kitchen. So when we have family come in from out of town it is easy for us. We seem to always have guests so it really works for us. Anyway for you I would have your mom and son in your sons room. Your aunt and uncle in your room and you and hubby take the couch or get an air matress.

One bit of advice I would give you is to have it all decided before they even get there. Sometimes waiting to see what everyone says can get confussing and in the end you will doubt that you did the right thing. Take the time now to get things arranged and then just enjoy the visit. I think I would put aunt and uncle in your room, your mom and aunt in your sons room and you and hubby and son sleep in the lounge. Maybe pull the bunk bed top mattress to the floor each night when it is time for bed and put it away the next day. I guess it would depend on how comfortable the bunk mattresses are as far as whether or not to go the air matress route. I hope you all have a great visit. You will come up with just the right arrangements before then. You are smart to already be thinking about it.

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.

When we have guests, I let them chose their own rooming situation. If I were you, I would give them the chance to make their own sleeping decisions. Then, if they hem and haw about it, perhaps make suggestions. I can't really help you as far as what those suggestions would be though. I kind of think that your Mom and Aunt should get your room because, I would always do the best for my Mom and your Aunt may need a little bit of a cushier environment. But, I would start by suggesting that they decide on their own.

My kids when they visit usually choose the floor. I leave it up to them. When opther family visits they are fussy and usually get a hotel room. So thats their choice not mine. I have a spare bedroom but no bed in it yet. We keep talking about getting one for guests but haven't yet. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Oh boy, are you in a pickle. Let me see. Now, it is not clear to me who is coming. Your mom and aunt are coming from New Zealand to Connecticut, right? Then your mom and aunt, and uncle and aunt are all coming to your two bedroom apartment? Oh my. What about your mom and aunt taking you and your husband's bed. You aunt and uncle sleeping on an air mattress, I am sure that you and maddy can fit on a bunk together and your husband can have the other bunk. Or you, maddy, and your husband can have a camp out in the lounge and the aunt and uncle sleep in the bunk bads. I think the main thing is to make your guess feel comfortable in these situations, so they don't go hom and talk about you, LOL. That is the best I can do.

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..

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

Hello there, I think married couple stay in the master bedroom will be ideal, so your aunt and uncle can stay there when the time comes. And your son still can stay on his bunk bed; if he can sleep on the top part will be great so that you can sleep on the bottom part. Meanwhile, you still can put an airbed/mattress for your mum and another aunt in this room. In this way, only your hubby has to stay in the lounge. If your son doesn’t want to sleep on the top part of the bunk bed, then he can join his dad in the lounge. Hope this help! Obviously, if the visitors don’t like the idea, they can give their suggestion. At the end of the day, you are a family. Have fun while get together!

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.

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..

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

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.

If it were me I would have the son sleep on the floor and let the adults decide where they would be more comfortable. Kids can take the floor much better than adults....:-)

My mom decides where the visitors sleep.They usually sleep in the family hall.Comfortable enough.

I think your last suggestion makes the most sense as each of the older ones know best what accomodations would suit their physical problems. I think that they might just appreciate your thoughtfullness in letting them decide where they each want to sleep.as they are all family and know you well I would not think they would be unhappy with your solution at all.

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.
