[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. To the woman who flipped out and demanded to sleep with your husband...you are not copping to bad behavior, rather, you seem to feel justified that you did the right thing. So I feel ok criticizing you. Did you honestly expect your inlaws to purchase a new bed once you got married? [b]Teah, it's weird they had you in separate rooms, so you should have said something. [/b]But to expect them to make a major purchase/change just for you is self centered.

My DH and I sleep in 2 twins at my parents house. Not fun, but if it mattered that much, we'd bring our own queen sized air bed. Sometimes you make do.[/quote]

Yes, but it's the fact that she "flipped out" and that she clearly finds was an appropriate response that I find   to be bizarre.  RELAX.  Life is long.  Have a normal, grown up conversation.  It won't hurt.  I promise.[/quote]

It's weird that she flipped out. But I've heard people flip out for a lot less than that on DCUM.  I think for most people this would go down as slightly annoying.  If the visit was only for overnight - you sleep apart for one night.  Next time bring a sleeping bag or an inflatable mattress.  If it's for a long visit - ask for a sleeping bag or go out and get one and sleep in the same room, no biggie.[/quote]

Or, and I said this before, DH says to his mom, "we'd prefer to sleep in the same room."  Seriously, why does no one even consider this option?[/quote]

Did she actually flip out to their faces or just to DH behind closed doors?[/quote]
