Need advice on how to deal with boyfriends kids sleeping arrangement
DOG LOVER - Dec 11 2017 at 05:23
My boyfriend and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. His 2 daughters (9 and 5 years old) stay with us Fri-Sun for 3 weekends every month (so a total of 9 nights every month).
Lately they have been insisting on sleeping on the couch every night that they’re here. They have a bedroom that has 2 beds in it for them but they don’t want to sleep in there. This bothers me and my boyfriend doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
Am I overreacting? I just think it’s dumb we’re paying for a 2 bedroom apartment when they aren’t using it at all.
Note before we moved in, I asked him if he thought we for sure needed a 2 bedroom because I thought this might happen. He told me we definitely needed to have a bedroom for them.
Ofc I'm here because this sounds like a dumb problem.
The kids want to sleep outside.
You resist.
They persist.
Your husband doesn't give a damn.
Just let them be.
You'll see.
Or convince husband to back you up and act as one force, then they'll listen, obv.
Easy, done, next.
