Bryce should be given the opportunity to upgrade his 50%! Here's how: A back rub = 1(of your hand)hand lengths over to your side, a 10 min foot rub = 1 & 1/2 hand lengths more mattress, a sink full of dishes = half a hand and so on! Kinda like a point system!! Then Bryce if you only get 50% it is your fault!! :0)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213909730830512447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331729295249433968.post-54654120654340288362010-06-14T11:24:45.050-07:002010-06-14T11:24:45.050-07:00I say buy a king sized bed!

Please call us next time!<br /><br />I've conferred with my economic consultant (aka Michael) and he and I both agree. Economic theory suggests that at times there may not be enough resources to satisfy demand, requiring changes to "make a bigger pie" so each party can enjoy the resources they need for optimum production.<br /><br />This theory, I firmly believe, was suggested by a man who had this exact same argument with his significant other.<br /><br />Based on our own experience and proven economic theory we have two suggestions. One: share the same half of the mattress... Two: three words - king sized mattress.Mommy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375663920048478542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331729295249433968.post-64047598920061374882010-06-14T09:31:32.880-07:002010-06-14T09:31:32.880-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mommy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375663920048478542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331729295249433968.post-67888258604814357742010-06-14T09:31:05.426-07:002010-06-14T09:31:05.426-07:00The wife is always right! :)The wife is always right! :)Emily Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06103045070428264154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331729295249433968.post-85574431762795865562010-06-14T09:06:55.301-07:002010-06-14T09:06:55.301-07:00If you're too cheap to buy a headboard and/or ...If you're too cheap to buy a headboard and/or too dumb to know how to make one for yourself out of doors (yes, this is autobiographical) then you won't be quite sure where the halfway mark is. Maybe you need to take down your headboard...<br /><br />Fortunately for my husband I hug the edge of the bed so he can use more, though I'm pretty sure it's because I would get "accidentally" elbowed in the head if I slept closer.

And you better believe if he has crossed that line, that I am pushing him back over.<br /><br />Simple answer, get a bigger bed.Sara Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220471066234019689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331729295249433968.post-46972613868256009922010-06-14T07:49:56.432-07:002010-06-14T07:49:56.432-07:00I get half of the mattress here.

However, with our current baby in the bed situation, I really get only the outside edge, as Adam is a bed hog and would sleep sideways if he could!<br /><br />My solution, when there is no baby involved, is to sleep sideways myself. Then I get my full measure of the bed.

When you are asleep who knows who has more bed? The discussion will never go away, I have a tall husband, i'm not so tall. I sleep at the bottom of the bed, he takes up the whole length of the bed, he likes the covers up around his shoulders, but when I'm at the bottom of the bed, with the covers around my shoulders, he has none. He thinks I should sleep at the top of the bed, I try, but when I wake up I'm at the bottom of the bed again. Oh well!Christy brinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048115927342672292noreply@blogger.com
