Many of us have spent a family vacation in an uncomfortable sleeping situation.

It’s par for the course. But in this story, a family refuses to accept that one member has outgrown the sleeping arrangements.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for “spoiling” a family trip bc I’m unwilling to sleep on a blow up mattress for 2 weeks

Where do I even begin?

My brother, sister in law and 18 month old niece live out of the country so it’s a big deal for them to finally come for a visit and rare that we all get to be together.

My parents and SO live on the west coast and I live on the east coast.

Anyway we are all planning on meeting for 2 weeks at my grandpa’s (RIP) old lake house that we grew up visiting. It’s a super tiny lodge maybe 1000 sqft MAX so surprriiissee there’s only 2 bedrooms.

Setup for a bad joke. What’s the punchline?

Being the youngest, I have been automatically delegated to the living room.

Sleeping in there with all the cousins was fine when I was 14 but I am nearly 30 now and that pull out couch is 20 years older than me.

Keep in mind that my fiancée is coming AND meeting the family for the first time.

His family is not planning to change the sleeping arrangements.

I think she deserves to be comfortable and have some sense of privacy in a new environment.

I have now mentioned to everyone that I won’t be sleeping there several times, which has been seemingly ignored and unsupported.

As the youngest sibling I am not new to getting last pick, but it upsets me that this is extended into adulthood and being pushed onto my fiancée.

The alternatives are pretty expensive.

Making it increasingly complicated is that the nearest airbnb (option 1) is a 25 minute drive and $2000 usd for 5 nights. And the only RV to rent (option 2) within a 2 hour pickup is also close to $2000 usd.

All the nearby motels are booked up.

The fact that we might not have wanted to sleep in the living room for 2 weeks was never really considered by anyone else.

The family’s alternative solution is even worse.

My SO and I having to front this additional cost is hurtful enough, let alone the rest of the family not caring or even acknowledging that we just want to have a room/decent bed.

The best they have done to help resolve is help us get a tent and blow mattress for outside.

I have decided that I will go by myself and sleep in the living room for ~4 nights as that is the max amount of bad sleep I think I can handle.

This solution apparently is “ruining the trip for everyone” and making it all about me, AITA?

Sounds like OP is doing his best, and his family doesn’t want to give up the bedrooms not matter what.

What do the comments on Reddit say?

This person says, for these reasons, I’m out.

Another person says two nights is one thing… but two weeks?!

This user says, someone tell this family the definition of compromise.

Somebody else points out maybe this family has gotten too big for its lake britches.

One poster is like… why would you share a room with another couple’s infant?

The baby of the family isn’t necessarily the youngest.
