EPISODE 39 - Back to Stay

After her divorce, Tina bought a small bungalow and renovated it to suit her needs perfectly. Then she met John, fell in love and it wasn’t long before they discovered she was pregnant. John moved in, dropped his belongings in the unfinished basement and they waited for the baby to be born. They planned to renovate the basement after the arrival of the baby to give them more family space. Soon after the baby’s arrival, John’s work took him to North Carolina for what was to be a three month project. Every Sunday he would leave and return on Friday nights. Three months turned into a year and now that he’s back, both John and Tina are having trouble adjusting. For over a year Tina was essentially a single mom. She had her routine and way of doing things, both with the baby and with the house. Now that John is back, he just seems to be in her way all the time and it doesn’t help that he acts as though he’s still living in a hotel, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, dirty laundry on the floor and failing to notice when the place needs tidying up. With her man back home to stay, Tina is feeling the walls of the little house closing in. This small bungalow now feels tight and suffocating with John and the baby around. She’s upset because she has no where to entertain their friends, since Ciara’s toys have taken over the main floor. The basement remains unfinished and there’s no place where she can get away from the clutter.
