OK each kid has their own TV in their rooms b/c I got tired of them using mine and taking over the living room. Along with thinking they can't use it even when some one else is already using it. They have been told too many times than I can count to use their TVs and not the one in the living room. Plus it us a very expensive one.

So I come home yo ss15 with all his games and stuff all hooked up to the living room TV he even moved my decor to accomidate his stuff. He also hooked up surround sound and I just can't stand that. I don't know why but it drives me bonkers. I was livid!

I told him he gas his own TV and to use it! I don't give a crap what they hook up to it as long ss they respect my space as much as I respect theirs!

What is with these kids thinking they have that right??? Nit to mention he moved my lap top and other things on my desk and was in our room.

I was sooooi mad I could have blew my top. But I looked at dh and told him he better take care of this and I'm going to take a long hot bath and to bring me a glass of wine!

So mad still! Dh did get them good though. Bur I told dh that we got them their TVs for a reason and if they won't use them then I will sell them keep the money and make our room my space and he can have his man cave but he will be sleeping in there.

I had had it as this was the hundredth time that one if the skids tried to take over my space and this time one was in my room! Ggggrrrr

I can't believe the SS not only hooked his stuff up to the TV in the living room when he has his own TV but also violated your bedroom!!! I would have burst a blood vessel if this had happened in our house. The SDs have one TV between them which is satellite, plus their own computer, and if I found them using ours there would be hell to pay.
Ugh - I am speechless. Sounds like you handled it very well, though. Well done.

I'd be livid too. I consider our bedroom sacred space. It took FDH awhile to get on the same page with that one but he gets it finally. It's a boundary issue or rather, lack of boundaries.

Yep I don;t understand why it is son hard to use their OWN tvs that we bought them for this very reason! After dh got ss15 I don't think he will ever do that again.

Dh was the one that came unglued on ss15 when he saw him our room as I didn't see him at first. Dh told him that there was NEVER a reason for them to be in our room ever! There are things in there that kids should NOT see! Wink

Dh also told them all that purple pays half the bills and the whole house belongs to dh and me and PROVIDE them with a room ans space and things which in turn they should NOT get into or use the things that they KNOW not to get in or use. And it was a violation to our trust.
He also told them that we shouldn't have to rearrange the house to for JUST them. And if they want to do that they can do it in their rooms however we still reserve the right to go in there any time we want as we pay the bills not them. We have all the rights not them.

I was very proud of my dh as he was just as mad as I was. Smile
