Parents Didn't Want Daughter and Boyfriend to Sleep in Same Room, So They Decided to Leave Early in Protest » TwistedSifter

I could go either way on this one…

On the one hand, if your child is an adult and wants to sleep in the same room as his or her partner, what’s the problem?

On the other hand, house rules are house rules and if you are under someone else’s roof you must respect them.

Let’s move on to the story: This woman wasn’t happy with the way her parents were laying down the law so she decided to teach them a lesson.

Let’s see what happens.

“I was a recent graduate who had made the “immoral choice” of moving in with a boyfriend without getting married.

We moved in together in another state, about a 6 hour drive from my parents, who lived about 2 hours from the boyfriend’s parents.

Rules are rules…

When we came back to visit, my parents had us sleep in separate rooms/beds because we weren’t married. After a visit or two like that, Christmas break came around.

We planned to stay in the state the entire week between Christmas and New Year’s, splitting time between the two families. We started by spending two nights at my parents’ house, then around dinner time on the third day, we left for his parents’ house.

It’s time to really talk.

My parents are surprised and confused that we are not staying longer, they expected us to share the time equally. My answer. Well, at his parents’ house we sleep together, so we want to spend the night there. Bye!

Before the next visit, they let us know that they had decided that since we are an “engaged couple” they would allow us to share a room even though we are not married.
