Family vacations are fun and chaotic at the same time.

This man wants to complain to his family because he always ends up on the couch or the smallest bed whenever they travel. But his family has a valid reason for it.

Read the full story below to find out.

AITA for calling out my family on holiday trip?

Let me preface that I am grateful we can take trips together on the holidays at all because I live so far away from them all.

That being said, every time a trip is planned, it seems I get the pull-out couch option or the smallest bed/common room accommodations.

I know my being single has something to do with it since I suppose I need less space than the couples.

But it’s just frustrating that they always assume I’ll take the couch or floor…

I pay just as much as everyone else when it’s an Airbnb or similar. I am also the oldest sibling if that still means anything to people. lmao

Equal pay means equal space.

Other people in the comments are chiming in.

Here’s a suggestion.

Family time is quality time, but some people need their space.
