Hot Step Mom shares hotel room with Son! This is part one of my ten-part series about raising a son and keeping a home. I have been giving some thought lately on what steps I can take to grow our family more rapidly and safely while concurrently maintaining a sense of dignity and personal integrity. My thinking has brought me to a place where I finally understand why my wife, myself and our older daughter would never, ever share a hotel room together. We have decided that it’s time to make a stand.
We chose the hotel room because we were close to my office and because my wife and I are both very close to my son’s. The fact of the matter is that we did not want our daughters sharing a hotel room with anyone. We all know the dangers of sharing a room with strangers and it was becoming increasingly clear to us that this was not an option. I called the other day to cancel our reservation and to ask if we could be booked in another hotel down the road. I was told that we could, but that my home would be required to remain “under construction” until further notice. That was a very hard pill to swallow because my wife and I are committed to giving our children the best home they can have (and we know that there is no better place for them than our home).
The other day I read on the internet about hotel room sharing and the problems that people who areedgeducated go through when they are forced to share a hotel room with total strangers. What really made me angry is that there are some people who have literally been mugged in their hotel rooms! There is no reason for anyone to have to live life like this. I’m tired of people making me feel like I am some sort of freak for standing up for what is right. I am tired of people making me feel like I am weak for not throwing my money in the pot and going with the flow. Hot Step Mom shares hotel room with Son.
