AIBU to want a kettle and mini fridge in our bedroom?

[toomuchpressure78]

Recently completed a loft conversion, and bedroom is now on the 2nd floor, after 15 years of marital bliss in a 1st floor bedroom. The bedroom is lovely and we finally have an ensuite so no longer have to share a bathroom with 2 DDs and their endless collection of hair bands, unclosed toothpaste tubes, shampoo spillages and the rest.

Only problem is its now 2 flights of stairs down in the morning to make a cuppa, and 2 flights back up again to drink it in bed. We're a week in and I'm over it.

I want to get a kettle and a mini fridge in the bedroom, so tea can be made without dealing with any stairs at all. OH thinks this is unnecessary and will add clutter and damp to the bedroom. But then again, OH only makes the morning tea about once a fortnight and would basically cease to function if I wasn't getting up every day to make the tea.

Who is right?

I always have a cup of tea in bed, every morning.
we have a kettle in our room and little sachets of coffee whitener - it’s fine in tea. I buy them in bulk from Amazon, also use them in our campervan.

And he didn't mention noise, he just fancies OP being his servant up and down stairs. Forever. Apparently.

🤣🤣🤣

A hairbrush with a normal, three pin plug? I thought you could only have those shaver/electric toothbrush style plug sockets in bathrooms, as the traditional ones aren't safe around all the water.

You can definitely have normal sockets in a bathroom, there might be some restrictions with how far it is from the water source though.

Thank you!

You are not unreasonable to want a kettle or a mini fridge. Quite a few posters saying to just go out and buy them, but I’d say doing so without DH’s consent is unreasonable. The reasoning being that neither item will just live in a drawer, a kettle in the bedroom is desperately unstylish outside of a hotel. To procure one against your partners will is no better than them getting some hideous art for the bedroom and you coming home to find it on the wall.
