Sister and her husband nap every time they come over

[Anonymous]

If this has really been going on for years, why haven’t you asked what the issue is?

My late DH had this problem, but he’d just accidentally dose off for a few minutes.

My mom did that too. Sometimes with the fork halfway to her mouth. But more typically she would just ask if she could nap for a bit and usually 30 minutes or so would be enough.

They don't really answer. They say they love napping. Then they laugh and act like it's funny that I and puzzled. They don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Falling asleep on the sofa after holiday meals is normal but you have to be sitting up and you’ll get straws up your nose and stuff like that.

Whipped cream in your hand then someone tickles your nose with a feather....

Where do they sleep? Just pass out in the living room? I agree that is weird. Are they very overweight?

My initial thought was no big deal, but reading further I admit it's very odd, not enough for me to get upset about, but it's odd.

Maybe you have really comfy couches.

She is size 12 and he is chubby but not obese.

I love napping so much. And I'm an introvert. I would absolutely do this if I were visiting family.

What's so strange to me is how you've decided that something completely innocuous is weird, and you want to punish them for it. I mean, WTH?

But if they are napping on the couches, does that mean the whole family has to be quiet because they are sleeping in communal spaces?

I would just go about doing almost anything I'd do if they weren't there. Blasting music while I clean up from lunch and do dishes? Sure. Check to make sure my air horn is working? Yup. Practice my french horn skills? Yes. Vacuum time? No time like the present.

Most people on this thread are agreeing it's weird.

It wouldn’t necessarily bother me but it is completely weird.

You would do this if you lived close by, during a visit that was only two hours total, every single time you visited? Both you and the only other person you are visiting with?

There is nothing immoral about it or anything but that is a very strange thing to do.
