...........
So, we've had this problem since we moved out here with Steve's folks and it's kind of made me a bit crazy (and cranky).
His parents are so sweet and so good to us....the only problem is the bed. The mattress we're sleeping on in actually one that Steve bought a year before we got married, but because we didn't use it at our house it's been here in their guest room the entire time we've been married.
It's brand new and have never been slept on. It's not uncomfortable.....the only problem is the plastic.
I'm sure you've all bought a new mattress before and seen how they come wrapped in that heavy plastic so they don't get messed up when your transporting them home. Well....this mattress is STILL wrapped in plastic with all the sheets and blankets on top of it.
We've been here for 2 weeks now and both of us have had an impossible time sleeping. This plastic is LOUD! A typical night for us has been one of us barely moving an inch while we sleep and then realizing that because of that plastic we've not only woken up ourselves but the other person as well because it's so loud and then in our foggy sleep state we apologize to the other person for waking them up. Essentially we're apologizing for barely moving. Needless to say it's been hard.
The logical solution would be to take the stupid plastic off the mattress, but I just feel to bad. I know it's technically our mattress and we should be able to take the plastic off of it if we want to, but since we've been storing it here for the last 3 years and most likely won't even take it to Madison with us it's basically kind of Steve's folks mattress now, so because of that we feel bad taking off the plastic.
For the past 2 weeks we've hoping and praying that we'd just get used to the plastic and eventually be able to sleep through each of us hardly moving and causing a big ruckus, but it hasn't happened for either of us.
Steve's folks are out of town for a few days, and yesterday when I came home from work Steve told me to sit on the bed, I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but he was insistent that I sit on the bed and so I did and then I realized......no more noise! He couldn't handle it anymore either so he had taken the plastic off and hid it under the bed (he's such a rebel like that).
I was so excited to go to bed last night and I am happy to report that I got the best nights sleep that's I've had in a long time. I actually woke up feeling refreshed rather than sore because my body was subconsciously tense all night as I tried not to move in my sleep.
Now I'm just left wondering.....why didn't we do this 2 weeks ago?

you are crazy!
You're either terrified or your mother in-law or the most polite house guest ever if you're really that afraid of taking the plastic off your own mattress!
Probably a little bit of both? :)
you just totally crack me up.
Oh my Gosh !!!! I just read this silly blog today :) How silly :)
But,one question ? what does His mom have to do with this mattress situation ? Steve, should have thought He's a grow Man yes he's their son ! But that's his bed ! who cares who's home it's in :)And as much as his parent's love Him he should have had NO ! question's about that subject !!!!!!!!! He,should have just ripped that plastic off :)And,as a mom that loves her child that,absolutely bother's me . ! But,I guess that's how people portray certain mother In Law's.
So to all the reader's out there. I know I'am not a perfect mother. And God know's this also :) So I thank Him for His Mercy. And I hope That I'am not a disappointment to my Family even though I've made many mistakes through my life. So I, pray for all those mis Interpreted Mother's out there that simply love their children :) A.K.A Monster In Law's
Funny you should ask what his mom has to do with the mattress situation "anonymous", because if you had actually read my post in context you would see that she has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. In fact, not once did i single my mother in-law out, and I believe I actually mentioned how sweet and good Steve's parents are to us.
I appreciate that you have the opinion that I"m trying to misinterpret my mother in-law, but not once did I even mention her in my post, so I think that's making quite an assumption on your part in regards to my thoughts and feelings about my mother in-law.
I'm not sure who you are, but if you have something that you would like to confront me on, I'd appreciate it if you'd come to me like an adult rather than hide behind an anonymous comment. Otherwise, please keep your thoughts to yourself
Please, except my apology I was referring too the (1st comment) I read in your comment section. I'am so sorry I, have offended you or anyone who would see this comment ! And yes I will from now on keep my opinions to myself . Please except my Apology Sorry !
