A couple lives in a one-room face-me-I-slap-you apartment with their kids. The man's mother is fond of visiting and staying for days. But what happens is that at night, the mother sleeps on the only bed with her son (the man of the house), leaving the woman of the house to sleep on a chair. Now the woman of the house has gotten tired of this practice, this has caused a fight between husband and wife. The wife is angry that her mother-in-law has come to take her place on the bed and the man is angry because the woman dared to complain.
Now, was she wrong or right in complaining?.....was she right in fighting becos of that? What should have been the best action for her to have taken?
For the man, how do you think he should handle such case if it comes up again or how do you think he should have handled it?
Do you think the mother-in-law was right?
Personally, I think the man and his wife should leave the bed for the old woman but she should be made to understand that they are not comfortable with long visits.....
What is your take?

firstly, the woman of the house is not wrong at all the man should have left d bed for thier mother while two(hubby &wifey) sleep somewhere else scondly, long visit is not too good, sometimes it create problem
ma opinion is that whatever u cannot handle dont start it cos if u do, stopping it will be a war
