Woman's Family Wants To Visit Her For A Night But Suggests Sleeping In Her Bed Instead Of The Guest Bed

Helping family out is great but if they're asking for more out of you, then it might not be so great.

We are back today with another post that we're looking into that was posted on the AITA thread on Reddit. This thread gets a lot of posts where people are looking for unbiased advice or opinions on a situation that happened.

We enjoy going over these posts because they're usually pretty entertaining, and they get a lot of engagement to read through. With this being said, we're sharing a post that was written by a woman who is looking to see if she will be TA if she doesn't let her family sleep in her bed when they come to stay.

Essentially they are saying that her bed is bigger and, therefore, more comfortable for them, but there is a guest bedroom that they could sleep in and an air mattress. So OP wants to tell them that they can't sleep in her bed for obvious reasons.

So if you want to know more about this story and what happened with the situation, then you'll want to keep on reading and see what really happens and what people also have to say about it in the comments. To form your own opinion, you'll want to see the full perspective and see what advice people gave OP in the comments.

She starts off her post explaining her family members and what the situation is with why they're coming to stay with her.

Then they go into the request that was asked by her family members. Asking to sleep in someone else's room in someone else's bed is a little weird.

People agree that it is a weird request and it's sort of uncomfortable too because it's just a privacy thing. OP actually responded to this which helped give us some context about the family members.

Some people gave advice to OP on how to respond to the situation or what they might do in this situation.

I would definitely suggest a hotel too and say that it might just not be comfortable enough for them to stay there if they're not willing to stay in the guest room.

Most people are telling OP to reconsider hosting them for many different reasons. Ultimately, it was an invasion of privacy just to ask.

They continued on with explaining why this is a risk for OP and why she should reconsider even having them in her house.

OP responded to this comment above and let us know that the family member staying may have wanted access to their room for another reason that just sleeping in their bed.

Some people gave their exact perspective on what they would do based on their own circumstances and in most cases, the answer was no.

Some people had to throw in a little bit of a joke here to give some light to the situation even though it's going to suck for OP's family members.

Overall, people seemed to say that OP should just reconsider hosting them because, obviously, they're very entitled. Hopefully, OP gets to sleep in her own bed, and there are no issues with this situation at all.

What would you do if you were in her position? Let them sleep in your bed?
