MissShei tells us more.
OP here. She has recently been having nightmares and keeping us up half the night. We were both exhausted so we said fine. I got up to go pee and when I came back, she had thrown my pillow on the floor and completely took over my side of the bed. If I moved her, she would've started screaming again and I just wanted sleep. I let her father deal with her at that point! I did sleep well for the rest of the night :)

OP, I'm sure you got better sleep than your hubby did by sleeping on the couch. Sleeping with a three year old isn't exactly restful!
Well at least it wasn't your spouse making you sleep on the couch!
You're bigger than her! Just lift her up and get back in bed.
That's what I always did.
Or you could try to pick her up and put her back into her own bed? Children already rule most of our lives, don't let them take over your bed too!
I wish it was that easy haha. I had my two year old come in at three am last night after I had the hardest time making sure he stayed in his bed at bed time. When it's the middle of the night I'm way too tired to have that fight with him as I'm sure that's what op was saying. These kids have worn us down all day and all we want is some sleep at night so when they come in we have no energy to fight to get them back in their beds
It's clear who wears the pants in this family . . . and they come from Gap Kids.
I would have made the husband move to the couch
why? exactly why does he need to move?
Do you at least have a comfortable couch?

Totally understand where you're coming from. Got a two year old who made his way into my bed last night
She pretends to be a cat often enough!
night terrors are no fun my 3 year olds had them for a while, screams bloody ******* murder at the drop of a hat all night. good thing I'm an insomniac most nights
get her a tight sleeping bag and cocoon her between you to. feels safe, and can't kick you out of bed!
Sounds like the dog house is a lot more comfy, under the circumstances!
