Jackie is currently asleep, in my bed. Why? I'm not sure. She's got her own bed. When I came home from class, I found her there, sleeping. Instead of taking care of our 2 year old son.

I woke her up, told her I was going to the school gym, as per my usual friday routine.

I come back from the Gym. She's still asleep in my bed. Our son has been awake and about since 7:30, and its now 10. And she's still sleeping.

I tell her to get the hell up. She says no, she's tired. I suggest that maybe she should try to get better sleeping habits; she says that she has been. She's been trying to go to bed at better hours, but for some reason she's unable to. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE SHE'S STILL SLEEPING AT 10AM EVERY GODDAMN DAY.

I suggest that if she insists on sleeping, maybe her bed would be a better choice.

"No, this is just easier" she says, comfortably, from my bed.

if I get mad at her, nothing gets done. She stonewalls me, refusing to talk to me because I'm "aggressive and unreasonable". If I talk to her calmly and politely, all I get is "No, this is easier."

.....and she wonders why I'm so frustrated with our living arrangements.

I think if I can't be angry and get results, and I can't be calm and get results, I'm going to be passive-aggressive. I hope she likes Disturbed.

UPDATE: After playing Disturbed and Flyleaf for an hour, with my stereo's bass boost turned on, she was still in bed asleep. So I shook her and threatened cold water. Aggression doesn't work, passive doesn't work, passive-aggressive doesn't work. Assertive doesn't work. I don't know what the fuck to do with her.
