Room for 5 Forum launches today!

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I have just launched the Room for 5 forum where parents who have 3, 4, 5 or more kids can discuss anything big/large family related!

Are you fed up at having to stay in 2 or more separate rooms when travelling with your family? Are you seething at being penalised for having a large family when visiting restaurants, theme parks, attractions and even ready meals(serves four)!! We seem to have to double up on everything.

Everything is catered towards the stereo-typical family of four but in reality there are lots of families out there that do not conform to the norm.
Feel like a moan or just a chat? Join the Room for 5 forum today and discuss your frustrations with people who know just what your talking about;)

Well I felt compelled to write this in my blog today as I woke up this morning, checked my emails and was shocked by an email I received! My website is for families of 5 or more to find accommodation (2 adults & 3 children or more). I decided early on that I wouldn’t include babies in that scenario as there are lots of hotels that don’t mind adding a travel cot to their rooms as they don’t take up that much room and a lot of parents have them with them but places that accept 3 children(excluding babies) are much harder to find.

A property called ‘Les Chenes Chambre d’hote’ in Auvergne, France was posted on my website by a lady called Gillian advertising accommodation for families of 5. The ad doesn’t go live straight away, I have to ok it to make sure it really can sleep a family of 5. I queried her ad as she had stated that her accommodation included a double room and 2 single rooms and I asked her where the 5th person would sleep. She replied by informing me the 5th person would sleep on a ‘lit depliant’ or a baby cot, in any of the rooms. I replied to her with this email:

Hi Gillian, thanks for clarifying that. Unfortunately I’m looking for hotels/guetshouses that can accommodate at least 2 adults and 3 children (not including babies) as there are quite of hotels that have a family room to sleep 4 and don’t mind adding a travel cot free of charge. Its the extra bed for the 3rd child that is the problem. Its a shame as your ‘apartment’ sounds great.
Kind Regards
Drina

Polite enough I thought and explained why I wouldn’t be adding her property to the site, so you can imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning to this email:

Hi

Well i think you are an utter fool! and i am astonished by your
narrow minded ness

I’ve been a B & B owner for 20 years and more in France
and I have always had loads of families, French Belgium and English,
Families are my speciality !

My price is excellent as it includes breakfast and is most welcome
by families.

I accommodate families up to 6 and most of them have babies, or small
children and even if they have to sleep on a lit depliant , children are
free up to 3 years old!

You are making a mistake by having too narrow a view on accommodation

bye bye have a nice life and remember word of mouth goes everywhere
and i surely won’t recommend your site to the hundreds of families who
pass through here

Wow, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed!! I didn’t think her email warranted a reply. :shock: :???:
