[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 367272, member: 1233"] Whether it is normal or not shouldn't matter. What matters is if it would fit the needs of your home. If there are recliners for each of you make sure one is solely for YOUR use. Throw a giant size hissy fit whenever ANYONE else sits in it. Otherwise you will ALWAYS be stuck with whichever one is broken or has something spilled on it. You do enough of the work and wage earning and child care that you DESERVE to have a place that is just YOURS to relax in at any time that the opportunity strikes. I am serious. Your kids are ALL old enough to know that some things are MOMs and NO ONE touches them or they regret it for a long long long LOOOOOOOOOOONNGG time. Heck, I would assign those people who are the most likely to sit on them when filthy, stinky or to spill on them or misuse them so they break to the most worn out one I could find. I would also probably keep it covered with a blanket. If you get into your mind that it is YOURS and that you are going to keep it nice because you deserve it, and you decide that regardless of their reaction you are going to have the big hissy fit - as dramatically as possible - you WILL end up with a spot to sit in that you don't have to fight for. It will be good for the whole family. i promise. Just be creative about the hissy you throw! [/QUOTE]
