Sorry - I was being facetious - my sarcasm doesn't seem to come across well in text. Seems to be getting me in trouble lately.

Just got back from a weekend in Colonial Williamsburg. Great trip, but my least favorite part was the hotel. Our kids (a first and a fourth grader) can't share a bed. They constantly fight about how the other is crossing the middle line and coming onto "my side."

So to shut them up, I slept with my son, and my wife slept with my daughter. Turns out they were telling the truth. My son spent both nights kicking me and flopping his legs across me. He can't stay on his side of a queen sized bed. My wife had the same complaints about my daughter.

So I think it's fair to say that once your kids have been sleeping for years in their own beds, it's not going to work too well to sleep in the same bed. Next trip, we bring their sleeping bags and they get the floor.

And it doesn't get any better when grown up & married, which was the original point, undrifted.

I do miss being able to put both my kids in the same bed, in a hotel or camper.

It won't stop it. Even with limbs confined in sleeping bags and the entire floor to share, they'll still be in each other's space.
