me and my friend and a couple of guy friends are going camping this friday, and i was only just invited by my friend. She says "hey you know this friday im camping? well im bringing my two man tent so if you come at least you have somewhere to camp " and i was thinking oh yay me and her in the tent! but then she went on to say "But im in a 4 man tent, with brian and david and davids pet leopluradon!" in a way which meant she was saying it in a joking way but still saying it seriously. so why doesnt she want me to share the tent with the 3 of them? i know she was being sarcastic with the leopluradon, but if its a 4 man tent…. why must i sleep on my own in the 2 man? and my friend isnt the type to want all the attention to herself, and im very hurt that she doesnt want me to join their tent i would confront her but shes the type to go angry at me for asking.

I have heard recommendations to purchase 2 tents. However, I am a single mom and we all need to be in one tent. I currently have a smaller 6 man tent and it is not big enough for myself, 4 children and our gear. The youngest is 1 and he requires more than usual. The tent will get quite a bit of use but only during the late spring and summer. A multi room tent is fine as long as the inner dividers are removable. In a perfect outdoor world I would love a tent with a full rain cover as well as storage vestibules (though these are not a must). I prefer to use an air matress as I need my sleep to manage four young ones on a camping trip Again, this is not a must. I would greatly appreciate any guidance as I know I will be spending over 200 and I can not afford for the tent not to last. Thank you!
