Possession is always 's unless the word ends with an s.
example
To make a *plural* noun *possessive,* simply add an *apostrophe* to the word. If the plural does not end in an *s,* then add an apostrophe plus *s. *
Examples: The girls' dresses (The dresses belonging to the girls.)
The Wilsons' house (The Wilsons live in the house.)
The men's room (Plural does not end in *s.*)
