Husband On Strike To Get Bedroom Back : Man Wants Kids To Sleep In Their Own Bed

GET OFF THE ROOF YOU SPOILT OVERGROWN BRAT.
I agree the two year old should be in a room of his own by now....But come on...the three month old tiny baby needs to be near his mother. In his craddle, until he moves into his own cot, in his room.
Sort in out ....

wao .. good thing he isnt married to an asian where this is just never a concern .. or option usually (and i know not just in asian countries but others countries as well, where homes are about the size of an average american living-family room)

great post!!! you are truly a great couple & parents ^-^v

and im sure the sofa worked just fine!

Most of the problems "married with children" couples seem to have that usually ends in adultry and/or divorce is intimacy.
All of both parent's energy and attention goes to the children until they are drained of all energy, which leaves none for each other. It is CRUCIAL that the parents have their "alone time" to still be a couple! This maintains closeness and keeps them both satisfied so that when it is time to be parents, they are in better spirits and can deal with stressful parenting situations, rather than snapping and yelling at their children.
Anyone who cannot see this simple truth, should not...
1) Get married.
2) Have children.
Children have their own beds to wet in, leave the parent's bedrooms for the parents!

this guy is a douchebag

Peace be upon those that seek Peace,

On a lighter albeit historical note, the beloved Prophet once went on strike for a whole month. He, Peace be upon him, took to the mosque and remained there for the whole duration. The stroy is very informative and educational. For those who think they have trouble with one wife, try several and u would be climbing up the walls (smile):

this is the link, the story is towards the middle of the page, it is titled. However, u might want to read the whole thing for context. Enjoy the wisdom of the ages:

here is an excerpt:
The Prophet's Separation from His Wives

Muhammad isolated himself from all his women for a full month and refused to talk about them to anyone. Nor did anyone dare talk to him concerning them. During this month, his mind was absorbed by his mission and the requirement of carrying the message of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula. Abu Bakr, `Umar, and his other in-laws as well, were deeply concerned over the sad fate that awaited the "Mothers of the Believers" now that they had exposed themselves to the anger of the Prophet and the consequent punishment of God. It was even said that Muhammad had divorced Hafsah, `Umar's daughter, after she had divulged the secret she had promised to keep. The marketplace of Madinah hummed with rumors about the impending divorce of the Prophet's wives. The wives, for their part, were repentent and apprehensive. They regretted that their jealousy of one another had carried them away, that they had abused and harmed their gentle husband who was to each one of them at all times an elder brother, a compassionate father, a nearest kin, and the best of everything that might be hoped for in this life and the next. Muhammad spent most of his time in a storeroom he owned, placing his servant Rabah at its doorstep as long as he was inside. Therein he used to sleep on a very hard bed of coarse date branches.

I don't think the guy's being unreasonable.

At just what point do you wean the kids off from the parents bedroom anyway ?

I think the infant should have a crib next to the parents bed for a while of course......they eat alot and often but they also sleep alot.

The older they get the less they breast feed and the less they sleep.

I think it's high time to start "bed weaning" when the kid starts sleeping most of the night without feeding.

Else when they get off the breast and sleep the whole night......it will be too late to wean them till probably age 6-8.

My neice slept with her grandmother till she was 9-10. She doesn't do that anymore but she also still has problems with sleeping alone. Sad state of affairs. Didn't have to happen if the correct weaning was done.

And a man doesn't feel like a man if he can't sleep with his wife and be close.

Sure the husband and wife can do quickies in the bathroom......but I'm talking about alone close time where intimacy can happen. (with or without sex).

Having to cause a "war of when the weaning begins" can do as much damage to a marriage as if a wife (or husband) tells the wife that intimacy isn't important once kids are in the equation.

Sure the guy might be a whiner....but he's not unreasonable.

The guy might be unable to have much intmiacy again till his kids hit puberty if it isn't nipped in the bud.

This isn't all about sex.....the man needs close time with his wife without having kids all over the place in the marriage bed

What a whiney baby.

The couple should get some councelling immediately. If she refuses to go and the guy didn't sign a prenup, he should talk to his lawyer after her refusal.

"It is better to live in a corner of the housetop, than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife."
