her attitude towards ethan DARING to start putting his stuff on the double bed in the hotel was disgusting

but i had previously predicted that it would be the usual conway-holiday bedroom set-up of babs and the golden child sharing a double bed, and ethan sharing with steve. i'm pretty sure she purposefully specifies that she wants two double beds when booking her hotel room - because she'd be FUMING if she ended up in a room with a double and two singles and had to justify why she couldn't share. with her husband. although she'd probs just claim erin was desperate for a mummy-daughter sleepover, so it made sense for steve and ethan to take the single beds.
obvs she made a HUGE deal in her vlog about the importance of packing earplugs when going on holiday with steve - emphasising the obvious fact that they don't usually share a room, as the earplug drama hasn't been mentioned for months - but despite sleeping slightly close together in proximity, there is absolutely no way in hell she'd actually share a bed with the guy! she may have "treated" him to an £80-with-10%-discount half hour in the airport lounge so
she could eat pastries, but in terms of the actual holiday, steve was obvs gonna be relegated to the sofa bed - fortieth birthday celebration or not! tbh, he probably didn't expect anything different as, based on his sleeping arrangements at home, he's clearly pretty used to sleeping on the sofa!
whatever the reason they don't share a bed at home - and i still don't get why babs continues to lie and pretend when the situation is so
bleeping obvious - it's sad that they can't even force themselves to share a bed for a few nights while on holiday. it's so weird - and surely a strange environment for the kids to grow up in, thinking its normal for parents to never sleep in the same bed. it's not even so much the separate bedrooms thing, but more than fact that she's obviously so insecure and ashamed that they don't share a bed that she actively pretends they do - like the pretence about steve's anti-snoring pillows being on her bed and implying he has his own bedside table and lamp, when we all know he never sets foot in her room, let alone her
bed, unless it's for an ad - but that she can't just be honest and use it as an opportunity to normalise couples not sharing a bed. i imagine it's more common than she thinks - in fact a quick google has taught me that it's as common as up to 25%! although admittedly, it's likely for different reasons - not simply because her bedroom is HERS and her husband does not adore her and actually does not want to be anywhere near her unwashed, stinking self wearing dirty pyjamas - and unlikely an arrangement they other couples stick to every single night. i bet steve chucks his own sheets in the washing basket way more regularly than babs' washes her sheets - which would explain how she supposedly washes a load each day, despite the lack of pyjamas/sheets/bed covers/dressing gowns/manky blankets being washed.
and i do not doubt that it is
babs with the snoring issue, and the earplugs she packs for holidays are actually for steve and the kids. she didn't even justify in her vlog
why she was sharing with erin and steve was with ethan, because it's totally normal for them. the kids are still kids - surely, young enough to share a bed for a few night a on holiday, especially with their own separate duvets - but they've been being used as an excuse for babs to demand steve sleep in a different bed since birth - whether it was ethan sharing a bed with her til the age of five or six, the constant "bed olympic" stories and the apparent demands for sleepovers. but the fact it's so normal to her she doesn't even mention it - except to reprimand ethan and harshly remind him that he will NOT be sleeping in the bedroom, and to
duck off to the sofa - as in that moment, she obvs forgot that she usually puts a concerted amount of effort into feigning that her pink bedroom - complete with plants, her stinking old teddy, with hints of disney and rae dunn - is a room that she lovingly shares with steve! oops, babs! placed yourself at risk of the babettes exposing the big conway secret that you've been desperately trying to prove wrong ever since it was realised on tattle - that steve actually sleeps up in top top/under the stairs/curled up in his shed/on the spare mattress in ethan's room/in the bath/at his parent's house.
