SKIDS in the bedroom…
Well I talked to DH last night about not letting the kids into our bedroom.
If feels weird to me because I was allowed into my parents bedroom and I know the kids are allowed into Slugs bedroom, but I don’t feel comfortable with them in my bedroom, especially since we are doing IVF. Now we are getting into TMI, but after my operation, I bled more than I expected and it made quite a mess in the bed. I don’t want the kids to see that. I also know with IVF that I have to do injections myself and I don’t want the kids to see all of that gear. I don’t want them, or Slug, to know that we are doing IVF.
And I just want the bedroom to be my private space throughout all of this.Â
I have to admit it, when the kids come I also feel like the house needs to be spik and span, and sometimes I use the bedroom as sa dumping ground for stuff I don’t have time to clean up when they come, I don’t want the extra stress of having to have yet another room picture perfect.Â
I also think it’s important that the bunny has somewhere to go to when the kids are here to get away from them. He is used to a quite environment and he hides under the bed for a while before coming out to say “hello” to them. I think he just likes to listen to the voices and recognise them first. He is a prey animal after all.
I posted on the forum about this question. I got 22 responses and they ALL said “NO SKIDS in the BEDROOM”. That as an adult I’m entitled to my privacy and don’t have to make excuses for wanting it!! I have to keep reminding myself of this. These kids act like they own the place and act like they are entitled to an explanation about everything. If the explanation does not meet with their approval, they won’t do what thy are told. They get away with that at their Mother’s place, but not here!
We need to knock this out of them right now!! WE are the ADULTS.
