Blanket freak

[Veryverycalmnow]

Is it weird to have a blanket/ throw folded on your sofa, so that you can snuggle up with it when on the sofa? My husband has just gone on about how he hates the blanket and nobody else has a blanket for this purpose. It's nice, matches the room etc. AIBU?

Nope. I have one.

We have these but we put them away when we have guests as FIL thinks it makes the place look untidy.

We have 2

Blanket box in the defunct fireplace. We all grab one for evening tv viewing!

Very common to have a blanket for that purpose. Your DH is BU.

2 here.. one each :)

We always have two or so on the go here but this was not a thing when I was growing up as my parents are in a similar camp to a PPs FIL.

Looking back I don’t know how we coped without one.

It is nice to have some warm things out in the winter time. The kids put a blanket on their bed at night time!

I really want a plug in heated one. Really want one.

We have 2, One on each sofa. I put one over me most nights, even in the summer. My husband was weirded out about it when we first met (10 years ago). He's grown to love/accept them now!

We have a sofa each and a big blanket /throw on each.. He is totally unreasonable

i have a blanket for this reason and it doesnt match my decor - i dont care im comfy

It isn’t just ok to have one, it’s essential to have one.

They look untidy, I don't care I can't get comfortable without one

We have four. Large fleecy ones from Dunelm, they’re not especially pretty but when you want to snuggle up to watch a film they’re nice.

Does your husband live under a rock?

Yep I crochet so have them all over the place.

You change your soft furnishings for all guests because of your FIL's opinion? Wow

We have four, one for each person that lives here, they are in the footstool which has storage but if it was only two I would happily have them over the back of the sofa.

Your dh sounds like my mum. Who thinks that it makes the place look untidy. I don't care I like my blankets, one for each sofa and they match my rug. Can't get cosy without a blanket tbh.

How is it weird??!!

If nobody has a blanket for use on the sofa, what does your DH think people buy those ones with arms in them for. Maybe he thinks they are for going shopping in, out to dinner or a delightful fashion choice for that important business meeting.

Or has he just got a touch of "disagreeable miserable arsehole disease" today.

Best money I ever spent!

I don't know anyone who doesn't have this! Your dh is BU.

We have lots of blankets. I snuggle in one instead of turning heating up when I wfh.
