Your bed or room with equivalent?

Question

my question is if you have/had a 2 bedroom place and family members came to visit and stayed with you what would you do in this situation: you have a bed which you and your spouse sleep in and then a 2nd room with only a futon but a couch that pulls out into a queen and could fit the futon mattress on it for extra comfort. lets say you offer your bed to be polite and they accept would you still be ok to give your room and bed to them and sleep on the couch and have to knock to get into your own room? basically would you be offended if someone family or not came to visit and then took over your room b/c they felt the couch was not good enough?

Answer 1

hi yes for sure I would feel out of place in my own house if this was the situation but may this be a lesson for future reference, if you really are not prepared to go through with what you are offering, don't offer it in the first place, it will save you alot of discomfort in the future.

Answer 2

if it was parents, thed get my room out of respect, anyone else , they get what they get.

Answer 3

I say, your bedroom is your bedroom - that's a special private place for you and your spouse...any guest should feel uncomfortable sleeping there.  You  shouldn't be offended if your guests don't like where  you offer them to sleep...they should be grafeful you're having them! You have what you have, and guests shouldnt' complain.

Answer 4

I would not offer up my room, not even to family!  It's not about being rude in my opinion...just that my room is my sanctuary.  That's the whole point behind my having a guest room.  And, a guest room does not necessarily have to be 5 star hotel quality.  It's about offering my guests the option to stay and visit rather than paying for a hotel and having to travel back and forth.

Answer 5

My house my bed, if the guest want better they make hotels.

Answer 6

If they took it over without asking you or your offering it to them it would be completely rude. However if you dont have the place to give them privacy it is courteous that you give your room and you take the other option.  

Answer 7

I would be offended if any of my family or in lawa expected to sleep in our bed- for a start it erks me cus its just gross, but we dont have that problem. The best way to solve this problem for future is to go out and buy a second hand bed for the spare room.
