Am I Being Selfish

[Anomybohe2]

So going home for Christmas and somethings bugging me may seem small to some but hopefully most can help ease my mind out of two spare room one having an en-suite and just slightly bigger than the one without who would you give what room too:

Single mum who currently co sleeps with her baby who has ulcerative colitis, internal and external hemoroids and a fistula so often bleeds heavily and has periods of discomfort and problems with her bowels (from preganmact and childbirth)

And a married couple with a baby

couple with a baby

[Mamyalynne]

Based purely on your description given - the young lady with the health issues.

[pixie374]

The single mum... you, I guess?

[johnny.5]

or who ever asks for it first

[johnny.5]

it would make more sense for the 2 adults and a baby to have the larger room

[Mamyalynne]

I admit, I am not working with the 'slightly larger' aspect, I am more concerned re the bathroom facilities for someone with bowel issues.

[pixie374]

I would give the en-suite to the person with the health problems. Assuming none of the rooms just have a single bed.

A quick round of "rock paper scissors" is the only way to sort out this dilemma.
A bit fairer than arm wrestling.

I too would give the room with the ensuite to the mum with the health issues.

[Georgiesmum]

I agree, definitely the lady with the health problems x

[naomi24]

They both have babies so babies aren’t the issue. The lady with health problems should be given the number suite. No contest.

[tonyav]

So do I.

[naomi24]

*en suite. Heavens knows what the predictive text on this phone was up to then.

[bhg481]

The one with the health problems and explain why, without going into detail, to the couple.

[Cloverjo]

Anomybohe, you asked ‘Am I being selfish?’ Has this already been decided, and you don’t like the arrangements? If you’re the lady with the health problems could you have a quiet word with host about how serious your issues are?

[Hymie]

Just how far away is the main bathroom that it will make a difference as to who has which room; most properties don’t have the luxury of two bathrooms.

[Anomybohe2]

There is a main bathroom obviously not far from the room without the en-suite but I feel it would of been kinder to give me (yes I am the one with the health issues (currently awaiting surgery in jan)) the en-suite also for privacy reasons and comfort so I don’t have to worry about waking everyone by using the main bathroom during the night there will be other people in the additional 3 bedrooms (5 total) also sorry to be Grimm but embarrassing smells to not worry about the couple have for years now been granted the slightly bigger room with en-suite because there are two of them and have been again this year for that reason but I just felt maybe this yr they would be thoughtful enough to put my medical and privacy needs above that simple fact.
Thanks all for your replies has made me feel a little better in my mind and way of thinking. The host is my mother and she is fully aware of my medical problems at present. Merry Christmas all

[Anomybohe2]

The couple are my sister and brother in law

The room with the en suite. Having bowel issues myself, a loo close at hand and not shared is really important and saves embarrassment.

[andy-hughes]

Since all the people involved are family, I would have thought it was a no-brainer for everyone concerned that you get the en suite bathroom.

If the couple with the baby have an en suite at home, they can mange a short trip to the bathroom, and if they have a separate bathroom at home, then it's business as usual for them.
