Sleeping with the enemy

We have this ginormous and awesomely comfy California King bed. And some days hubs works until really stupid hours, because he has a sucky job that sucks, and when he gets home he goes downstairs to watch TV so that I can go to sleep; and when he does he always passes out on the couch. So on those nights, I get the ginormous and awesomely comfy bed all to my fucking self. It's a beautiful thing, it really is, I gotta say.

You would think that a ginormous California King size bed would be plenty of room for me to sleep with a couple of cats, but.... yeah, no. If you have cats, or dogs, probably, or kids, even..... you know what I'm talking about. Observe......

HA! that's what my DH does (falls asleep on couch during the weekend) and that is exactly what my cat does!!! There are nights when I can't move at all b/c she also decides to sleep on me.

Just because it's a king bed doesn't mean you're the king of it.

I love my queen size bed, too. But it's ALL mine, I don't have a hubby. :) Sure Puppy comes over now and then, but not to often these days, aaah.

Hahahaha! Sigh. I remember waking up one night, when we still had a cat, to the cat crawling out from underneath my sheets . . . I sent that cat flying.

LOL...thats happened at our house, only its my husband. We have a king, and somehow he always ends up mashed up on my side of the bed. I woke up one time with him sleeping ON MY FACE. He wonders why I hate to cuddle.

We have a crappy queen and it's not enough room. I don't have cats. And my husband usually falls asleep on the couch - my son calls it "daddy's bed" (sigh). But my son always finds his way into "mommy's bed" and I am lucky enough to have his foot in my face. And at 5 years old, I think it's safe to say, they are no longer cute little baby feet you want to smell and kiss.

You just need to train the other cat to sleep on the other side of you so that they counter balance one another causing you to stay put. And what's easier than training cats to do stuff?

Thats how my bed was. Then I got pregnant and started sleeping on the couch because it was the only place I was comfortable. The child has been on the outside for almost 9 months and for some odd reason I'm still on the couch. Hmm... And I made the bedroom a no cat zone pre-baby because I didn't think it was safe for baby to sleep with cats. Now baby and I sleep with cats and hubby sleeps cat free in the bedroom. Where is the justice in that?

Oh sweet Jesus, that is so my night, except substitute the cat for a great dane and a retriever, and turn the kid 45 degrees to have his feet in my rib cage. Oh and decrease the bed to a queen.

I feel your pain. Only I have a queen sized bed. My husband (and I) both have sleep apnea so sleeping anywhere else but in our bed (with the c-pap machines) is not an option.

So here is the scenario: 1 250+ pound man, 1 25+ pound woman, 1 90 pound child, and a 7 pound cat. All in a queen sized bed. Man likes to sleep on back. Child likes to sleep on back. Wife normally likes to sleep on back, but can't so sleeps on side. Thew few times I have tried to sleep on back with the others in the bed, I have literally found myself half on the bed/half on my night dresser. And my night dresser has a clock radio, a c-pap machine, and a lamp on it.

I totally feel our pain. Totally!

um--are we married to the same man? I swear the couch is damn near RUINED from him passing out on it so much (not that i mind because i hate it with such a passion that i want it, WILL IT to break so we can get a new and not so purple couch)

Our dog (a small 7lb chihuahua) used to crowd me out of the bed too--but now he's an old man and refuses to even sleep in our bed because we're tosser/turners. He's even been known to issue an "harrumph!" before jumping off the bed...

Replace the cat with a dog and replace child #1 with child #2, and you and I are the exact same person.

Your illustrations are RAD! And why is it that everyone but THE MOM seems to be able to sleep JUST FINE in the bed that does not belong to them?!! My 7 yr old sleeps perpendicular to me when he manages to sneak into my bed, my dachshund MUST sleep under the covers curled up on my legs and the cat likes to sleep ON my butt if I'm on my stomach, on my stomach if I'm on my back - or on my hip if I'm sleeping on my side. Everyone is comfortable but ME! I so feel you on this one!

Queen sized bed. 3 year old child. 2 dogs.....The 3 year old allows me about one foot of space. The dogs like to sleep one on each side of my legs so they pin me down under the covers...when I wake up in the middle of the night like that it pisses me all the way off.

I really want a king bed because my husband bounces around and bumps into me and just drives me completely batty while we sleep.......I mean, I want separate beds. I'll even go for a twin bed if it means I get the whole thing to myself.

See I have it all worked out. Cat in my stepson's room with the door closed. Puppy in puppy crate. Children in room with the door closed cuz they can't open the door. Old dog can't get up on bed. Nice comfy king bed to myself when husband works sucky hours at sucky job. I have perfected selfishness.

hahaha... I don't have kids but i do have 2 cats and a bf that likes to hog the bed.. and we only have a queen! If it's not hogging the bed, he's hogging the effing covers and i have to wrench on them to pull even a small scrap of covers over myself so I'm not shivering. sometimes I think the couch would be easier... but then the cats STILL want to be all up in my sleeping biz... even WITH a comfy half empty bed!

veryverybusymom 26p · 698 weeks ago

We have a queen bed, but we used to have a king. It was too big for the room & we couldn't open our drawers. I miss that king more than I miss my fit body (almost).

In our house, my husband is you & I'm the cat. Except I also have three large pillows surrounding me (leftover from my pregnancy days). We have a skinny 5-year old with elbows and knees that act like battering rams who crawls in with us around 2:45 (he's afraid of zombies). Hence, by 3:00 am my husband is on the couch. I miss him. Just a little.

I agree that even a California King is in no way shape or form a big enough bed. How is this the biggest option?! And I only have me and my husband and cat. I can't imagine any more things piled into the bed!! I propose that companies need to start making an Obese King. Californian's clearly aren't big enough.
