Couch Rules? Do you have couch rules in your house? DH wakes anyone if they fall asleep on the couch

[Anonymous]

I don’t love couch naps because it always makes me feel as the non napper that I have to stop all the things I’m doing that may disturb the happier. I feel I have to then tiptoe around the house and not use that time in a productive manner. Part of that is the setup on the house. That said, if you fall asleep on my couch I will tiptoe to another part of the house and leave you to it, even if it ruins my day.

Yea, that’s a me problem but I have discussed with many of my friends and they feel the same way.

I don’t want shoes on the couch, but feet are fine. No jumping on the living room couch, but silliness and animals welcome on the rec room couch.

No shoes on the couch, no jumping. That's it.

Your husband needs help.

This. You shouldn’t be putting your feet on other people’s furniture, OP.

Your parents never taught you that it’s rude to put your feet on other peoples couches?

What are you do on your own couch to something to discuss and figure out with your husband. But you shouldn’t be doing putting feet on furniture in someone else’s house. That’s really rude and gross. That’s something that a three-year-old would do and their parent, if a parent, would scold them for.

Yes, we do have leather couch and loveseat. Growing up, ours was fabric. DH grew up with leather.

Op here. Ok, so to me this is not feet on the couch. Is this considered feet on the couch?

I am having trouble following because you seem to be contradicting yourself.

In the first picture the feet are on the chair. If your feet were in that position on your couch then obviously there would be feet on the couch.

I allow feet on the couch, but not shoes on the couch.

We have one couch in the living room which is the center of our small house. If someone sleeps there, then no one else has a place to sit if they want to watch TV, or play a video games, etc . . . So, if you fall asleep on the couch, and someone else wants the couch they'll wake you up and send up upstairs to sleep on the furniture designed for sleeping. But it's not a blanket "no sleeping on the couch" rule. If no one else wants it, have at it.

We have leather coaches and I sleep on them frequently. We have no pets. I put a blanket down and sleep on top of it. The coach has basically been my office since the pandemic.

Your husband sounds very rigid like my dad. Did he grow up poor? Is he German?

^"couch" not "coach"

I’m short so I tuck a foot under my leg so they aren’t just dangling uncomfortably off the edge. I do it in other people’s homes. With socks.

It’s either that or sit on the floor.

“I allow”

Is that some kind of weird power trip?

I always thought of feet on the couch as feet being touching the actual couch like this:


Not that if they are under your bottom or on your leg that it was considered “on the couch”. To me, it has always meant the foot bottom flat down to the surface.

Like standing, to me “feet on the floor” isn’t sitting cross legged or Indian style, it’s if your feet are flat on the floor.

Parenting sure is a weird power trip.

An afternoon nap on the couch is one of life's pleasures! Silly rule not to allow it for others.

Ew don’t put your feet on other people’s couches. That’s gross.

And obviously we don’t jump on the couch either but I think that’s common sense.

She’s putting her disgusting ass on it. The ass is where the poop comes out, you know.

It’s covered by clothes though, I hope.
