YSS and living room saga.....

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving...Still having problems with YSS but, that will probably never get any better. YSS told DH that the only way he will sleep in his room is if we completely redo everything in there. What I mean by redo is painting the walls, buying a new bed etc. DH told him that wasn't happening. YSS completely takes over my living room still. When I say anything to DH about it he just looks at my puzzled and says that I should just let it go.

what a little snot... now

:jawdrop: what a little snot...

now every time he takes the living room over, tell him , NO BUDDY you have a room, and if he ignores you, trash it... why do you allow him taking over the living room, it's your house too, you do have a say

I find him in the living room

I find him in the living room when I wake up in the morning so what should I do wake him up and tell him to sleep in his room until he gets the message.

yes you wake him up and say

yes you wake him up and say move it Mr... this is a living room not a sleeping room, regardless of the time...

hell I will wake up early and kick his ass to the room..

Actually, this is exactly

Actually, this is exactly what I would do. Every time you go in and he is sleeping.. wake him up and direct him to his room. Even make a point of going in there at 2 in the AM and doing it. The kid will tire of being woken up every time.

It does seem odd that he is demanding some changes in his room.. is it pink or something? is the furniture old and uncomfortable?

Good sleep habits are important and his dad should back you up on this.

lol, it would be kind of

lol, it would be kind of funny for you to switch your living room with ss's room.... put all ss's stuff in the living room, and you have a living room with a closed door.... lol

LOL...I wish secret the couch

LOL...I wish secret the couch wouldn't fit into SS's room.

the cushions, then...

the cushions, then... lol

with the tv, and other things, of course LOL }:)

Why won't he sleep in his

Why won't he sleep in his room now? What is wrong with it? That seems odd.

I tell you what I would be doing. Getting up extra early to do my exercise tapes in the living room. nice and early mind you.. like 5:30.

Yes, it would be a bit hard on me.. but would make the livingroom much LESS appealing as a crash pad.

I have no idea. DH tell him

I have no idea. DH tell him to go sleep in his room and he sneaks out in the middle of the night and when I get up in the morning he is on the couch. So I am as loud as can be when I get up.

sImply tell DH - if it

sImply tell DH - if it happens again you will go crazy on SS, DH needs to handle this and stop looking daft when you talk about it..

come on take control and have a go at DH every time SS does this..

My SD13 does this almost

My SD13 does this almost every weekend she is with us. She brings a million blankets and pillows and takes over the couch. Brings drink and food in the living room and leaves the TV on all night. Whatever time I wake up I wake her up. Make her take all her blankets, pillows, food and drink and put them away and go to her room. If she does not wake up the first time I pour water on her face. (DH does this also)

She has to wait till we go to sleep to come in the living room.

Yeah I don't get it at all

Yeah I don't get it at all why these kids do this. But, YSS is in the living room 24/7 when he comes over and I am trying to find ways to get him to migrate to his room permanently.

I'm not sure what all you've

I'm not sure what all you've done to try and stop this from happening but there's a reason he's returning to the couch and it just needs to be figured out.

If he's asking to redo the room there may be something about it that bothers him but he doesn't understand how to speak up about it. Maybe the bed isn't comfortable, maybe the color reminds him of bad things, I could go on.

He could be having nightmares. I don't know honestly.

But yes when you find him in the living room you wake him up and send him back to his room. By letting him stay your showing him he can get away with it.

Former yss pulled this. Or

Former yss pulled this. Or slept in my son’s bed and i had holy hell to make that stop. Little weasel had threatens my son that if they didn’t change bunk beds, xyss wouldn’t come over any more. That was fine by us. Seems the little shit was scared of the upper bunk. Seriously at his age, he was a chicken. My son thought it was hilarious since he had the upper bunk and a loft bed since he as four. Lmao. Dumb butts.
