AITAH for wanting to claim the living room after 8 pm every night
So I think even without context I should be able to have our living room to myself but here we go.
3 years ago my boyfriends mother got multiple DWIs (3) and hit and run charges (2). She went to jail and got sober, then went through a rehabilitation program. She lived 6 hours away at the time in a small town while we live in a city.
2 years ago she brought up the idea of moving in with us but at the time she was going through a drug related program to get her charges reduced. So she couldn't leave her state to come to ours. I agreed at the time.
About a year and a half ago I found out I was pregnant. For me that meant she couldn't move in anymore. For reference we have a 1 bedroom apartment with an office. Her charges got reduced to no jail time and she lost her license.
Fast forward to now, she moved in in September and I agreed to try it very reluctantly. I have an 8 month old baby. She works fulltime, I work part time, my boyfriend works full time. She pays approximately 1/3 of the rent, lives in the office and pays no utilities. I will acknowledge her paying her 1/3 did allow me to step down from full time.
She has a huge dresser, a full size bed and a TV in her room but says she's not comfortable sitting on the full sized bed because it hurts her back and that there is not room for a chair. I suggested a day bed and/or smaller bed. She didn't like that idea.
Meanwhile my son goes to bed at 8. I'm either taking care of my son cleaning or working, and when he goes to bed I don't have the option to watch TV or play games in my room because it will wake him up.
We have a large room with a 72" playpen, our queen bed, his crib, and all of his stuff. My TV is set up in the living room with my ps5 and switch.
On her days off she watches approximately 14 hours of TV. The days she works it's still 6+. She's binge watched 4 full shows since moving in (dexter, bones, orange is the new black, the resident). I have been rewatching reba since July and am on season 4 despite these being half hour episodes.
I want to claim the living room after my son goes to bed, so that I can have some time to myself or time to play video games with my boyfriend. I asked for 5 out of 7 nights to not be exclusively hers. 1 game night for everyone, 2 nights for us to play video games, 2 nights for my shows, and 2 nights for hers. My boyfriend doesn't think this is a reasonable request and I'm honestly considering moving out and going to my moms if I don't get it.
I think it's a reasonable request because she's claiming about 58 hours of my TV and I'm asking for about 10 to 15 of them while she has a perfectly good TV in her room if she doesnt like what we arw doing. Additionally I'm only asking for after 8 pm. He thinks it's an unreasonable request as her "roommates". Am I being unreasonable?
We will be getting a larger place at the end of our lease in May, but I don't want to wait until May to have any time to myself
