The Home Alternative

WHY does my husband insist that he cannot sleep without the TV on in the bedroom?? I understand everyone needs to wind down at the end of the day but seriously…I’m with the baby all the day. When it’s time for bed, oh how I LONG for some peace, quiet, and rest! Leaving the television on into the wee hours of the night is not my idea of relaxation. How can ANYONE rest with all the noise? People lived without a television for thousands upon thousands of years. So all of a sudden he’ll never sleep again without the noise of the television in the background?? I find this very difficult to swallow. In fact, it’s likely the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! For now, I’ve simply resigned myself to the fact that I’m not going to get a good nights rest and trod off to the living room for another night on the couch until it’s time for the baby to eat. I wonder if any other ladies live with this problem and how they cope? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
