I do think sharing beds is different than a room. |
No, it's not that different when it comes to rape. Not at all.

This is correct. Section 8 requirements is that you need separate rooms for girls & boys. This applies to everyone, regardless of their sect & race.

I don't think this is true. I have a friend with kids kids preschool - highschool in one room. Both genders. Section 8.
Unless rules changed recently?

Of course we are making a big deal out of it and so should you. If a woman doesn't feel comfortable to share a room, are we just supposed to tell her to get over herself or should we validate her feelings and make sure to find a solution to it?
It's very bad if a mother cannot make her daughter feel safe and comfortable.

You can do whatever you want it’s more about the approval. They won’t approve a 3 bedroom if you have 2 girls but will if it’s a boy & a girl. If you decide to have them share a room and make the 3rd a guest room that’s your decision though if they come inspect not sure how that works…

That's terrifying. Did you tell anyone?

Years later..
When I got married and my fears of zex came out.
I never told my parents until after other people came out reporting against my brother (like 20 years after the incident).

Re: those suggesting a room partition. That doesn't give safety, only a semblance of privacy.
Re: the daughter paying for her own room. If this was a random winter/summer vacation and the parents gave their kids an option of coming along, that would make sense. This is the parents making pesach arrangements for kids who still live at home (no matter what the age). She's 22, not 32+. It wouldn't be normal in many communities for her to stay home alone, or to kasher Her parents kitchen, or even to let the community know she's home alone and wants to be invited to meals. All of that would make the entire family look off. Would the parents be ok with that?

Did you not think of this before booking? Were your children not involved in the planning?

Maybe your new, but it's against site etiquette to call out OP or any other poster. She is free to respond or not, to follow this thread or exit it.

Since when is it against site etiquette? It happens in so many threads, nothing to take personally.

Adding my opinion
I’m Chassidish. I shared a room with my brother once in our older teens. My only issue was that he snored really loudly. We changed at the same time while one of us was in the bathroom and the other was in the room. No issues whatsoever.
However, if the daughter isn’t comfortable with it then that should be taken into account
