[quote=Anonymous]Already did that for the last two weeks of July.

Apparently, now my nephew is crying in the other room, because after me telling them the couch is new, my husband told him he could sleep on it because 'he wanted privacy'.

I had already said no.

He was told before he came down the rule was that the house was full and there would be no privacy, that he had to share a room with one of the other boys. There is a trundle in my son's room that's empty, a trundle in my other son's room that's empty, and an air mattress that's empty. There are three different spots he can sleep in. The family room was not an option.

But my husband says go ahead, sleep on the brand new couch. Defying my rules, defying the my SIL's rules. He's aspergers and my SIL wants him to learn that he has to follow rules, that privacy is something he can't always have. He almost accidentally walked straight into a butcher knife today as we were cleaning up from dinner; he was told to leave the kitchen due to endless pacing and talking and just didn't listen. It can be dangerous for him, so my SIL sets up rules that he MUST follow. He's 18.

Now I feel awful that he is upset because he heard me from the other room about the couch thing.

Ugh. [/quote]
