I've always had a recliner and my kids could sit in it but as soon as I came in the room, they relinquished it to me or shared it with me. My recliner has since been replaced a few times but it's still MY seat in the LR.
Sheldon Cooper won't let anyone sit in his spot. Do you have a favorite seat? Does your pet? Are you territorial about it?
I do but it's my side of the bed.
Yes! Come to think of it, I guess my spot on the couch is the same as Sheldon's. The moment I get up for any reason, my dog tries to take possession .... I have to physically nudge her over.
