    Default opposite sex cousins sharing room in vacation house?

    We're looking at possible vacation houses to rent for a couple of nights during the summer and I'm curious to hear what people think. Cousins are two girls, ages 11 and 9, and DS, age 6. Would you be ok with the kids sleeping in the same room? Each would have their own bed. If it makes any difference, these are not cousins who see each other frequently. If you do think it would be ok, is there an age when you would say it is not ok?

    At those ages, with ds being 6, i would not have an issue with it. The girls may not like it, but in a vacation house, they probably will not use it other than for sleeping. They will just need to respect each others privacy for changing.

    I would be fine with that. Teens are another story.

    I shared a room (separate beds) with a male and a female cousin when our families visited our grandparents for the holidays off and on in my teens and 20s. Male cousin is 2 years younger than I am, female cousin (his sister) is ~8 years younger than I. We saw each other once a year max. None of us ever thought twice about it.
