Right now your uni-attending youth is cramming for his or her exams, and while you probably don’t hear much from them right now…it’s only a matter of time before they show up for the summer holidays! Your young adult will most likely be returning as a tired, hungry husk of a human, ready for a relaxing family holiday.
The only problem is…you’re going to need to put them up again for months on end. Do you have the room, and are you ready for the mountain of stuff they’ll be bringing with them?
We’ve got the perfect solution: a portable sleepout, packed with benefits that we’ll share with you in a series of two articles!
Keeping up independence (kind of)
By providing a portable sleepout for your youth, you’ll be offering them the lifestyle that they’ve probably become quite used to. They’ll be free to watch movies, snack and listen to music well into the wee hours without disturbing you or the rest of the family. They can also host friends for cosy catch-ups without awkward introductions, or visits that put the rest of your house on hold for a while. It’s a winning situation for everyone!
Don’t demote one child to fit the other
Younger siblings will be all kinds of grateful for the favor you’ll be doing them too, as they won’t be forced to pull out a bed, climb up a bunk, or shift out of their rooms entirely to make room for the returning student. A portable room solves this problem perfectly; meaning that, if your young adult’s old room was re-purposed, it can stay that way.
If they come bearing ‘gifts’
So often our uni kids show up with mountainous piles of washing, as well as a stack of stationary and stuff in general that they’ll be needing to store. Sometimes the end of the uni year marks a moving-out, so between flats your student will need a place to pop their furnishings temporarily while they hunt for their next flat. Our portable sleepouts come in a range of sizes which you can request specifically to tailor to your needs. If you need the extra space in which to store their furniture, then we can sort you out there!
