sleeping arrangements

JP's parents are here for the weekend. JP and I have disagreements about the sleeping arrangements when they visit. I do not think it's okay for he and I to give them our bedroom. Why?... think I sound like a selfish bitch? Well, I don't know exactly how to explain it. It's OUR bed, it's very personal, it's our personal space. It's not like I have to spend an entire afternoon hiding the porn and dismantling the sex swing... it's the fact that our bedroom is OURS, it is not a hotel room, it is not a guest room, and I feel creepy about someone else sleeping in OUR bed.

I told JP that I would personally, out of MY paycheck get them into a hotel. Not happening, there's a hockey tournament in town. Shit. We avoided the subject as long as possible, then JP came up with a (brilliant!) solution: Eric's bedroom. He's got a queen sized bed, compliments of Alex's sneaking out last summer, Eric got Alex's bedroom, and we did not switch beds, so Eric has the biggest bedroom and the best bed of all the kids. We had Eric clean up his room (didn't take long, he's pretty clean) and made up the bed with fresh sheets, and VOILA! I'm in MY bed, happy.

I don't blame you. I think it's weird to have guests sleep in the master bed. I would have to move a little porn around the house but just the thought of my parents SLEEPING where I have SEX is WRONG!!! I'm glad you found a compromise. Have a happy visit!!
