To think you can have the laptop or the tv but not both

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid]

I know this is unimportant in the big scheme of things but dh pissed me off last night.

We only have one tv and one laptop. And only one sitting room. He expects to have the football on and be sat entertaining himself on the laptop at the same time. While I sit there bored.

I have instigated a new rule, you can have your choice of tv or the laptop but not both. Needless to say he things I am being a cow.

YANBU

See, I would have changed the channel, after the second time of asking, when he didn't hand the laptop over. Then offered control of the remote, in exchange for the laptop.

YANBU!

We have one tv (which is actually only used for DVDs/wii, it's not connected to an aerial) and one laptop, no way could we afford any more than that.

But if one of us uses one, we certainly wouldn't hog the other!

For example if DH was watching a particular film I don't like he would happily accept losing me to MN for the duration :o

It's the rule in our house too, anything else is just being greedy.

'Id never share a laptop with a partner, surely people have their own.'

No Fabby, we don't, DS and I share a laptop. Thay are quite expensive you know.

Went cross-eyed for a moment.
I can spell 'they' honestly, I can.

We have a laptop each ad a telly each :o
