Stay Off My Bed–Desk
Husband Meanness of the Day:
After my husband got out of bed at 12pm, he helped me until Niko (our 2.5 year old) took his nap. My husband also napped. Till 5. But then he helped me all night. Granted, he acted irritably and babyish the whole time, but I was happy to have the help, as I have 15 pages to write by tomorrow. Why am I writing the blog right now? Anyway, now it’s 10pm, and my husband just came in our room and tried to get in bed.
Excuse me, our bed is my desk (very small apt, very small bedroom, I have to put papers on my bed while I work and pretend the bed is a desk. It’s distracting, but I have no choice.). No, he can not get in bed. You may think that sounds mean. But I don’t have free time during the day to work–then I am watching our children. It would reduce a great deal of stress if I could work during the day, but it’s not possible. So, I HAVE to work at night, or I will lose my job.
I can’t work with my papers spread out on my bed–desk while my husband is also rolling around on my bed–desk. And, if you could HEAR him when he sleeps, you would understand that it will be far too loud in here to work. Solution? Sleep on the couch for a while or go to bed at 3am like he usually does–on the days, of course, when I want to sleep at 10pm..
Of course, if I were the one who needed sleep, and he needed to use the “desk” for work, I would happily sleep on the couch so he could work away. Can HE sleep on the couch? Oh nooooooo. It’s too uncomfortable. When I told him he couldn’t get into the bed, because I need to look at my papers (lying on the bed, my desk) as I work. Husband freaks out and stomps off into another room. SUCH A BABY.
