Sister and her husband nap every time they come over

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?

Another introvert here. Napping is my way of recharging. I love my family and that I can visit and nap and no one makes a fuss. If you made a fuss, I’d end up seeing you less. I don’t want to be “on” on the weekends with my family like I am at work.

I'm a hardcore introvert and have two thoughts: 1. if I'm running out of energy I excuse myself and leave because it would be rude to put them in a position of quietly creeping around their own home. I would only take a nap if I had a headache, and would ask to lie down in the guest room for 20 minutes while I waited for Advil to kick in. If that didn't work, I'd go home. 2. if I'm with my sibling, it's practically like being alone because we're so close so being around him and his family doesn't drain my energy.

Maybe they are trying for a baby

Another introvert here. If I was done socializing and wanted some time alone, I’d go home. I would feel so uncomfortable napping on someone else’s couch on a regular basis. It’s one thing if they are houseguests but, really, so introverted that they need a nap to recharge after every lunch with other people?

OP said they are in their early 50s and nap on the living room couches.

Wrong. Other people assumed it was the couch. OP never confirmed. If they ask to use a guest room I’d be more sympathetic than if they just pass out in the living room. That’s rude.

Nobody buys this. It’s super cringey.

That sounds so nice…

It's a bit bizarre for a day visit, but you say they've been doing this for decades so it's normal for them.

First page answer says living room couches, sometimes the DH goes down to the basement. OP, was that you answering?

I think, in either case, it is odd behavior.

I feel opposite! I would not feel relaxed napping at someone’s home. Especially in the living room with the homeowners walking around. So awkward! I would go home to nap.

I could easily nap, too. I’m also an introvert and I’m pretty tapped out for socializing at about the hour mark. Throw a meal on top of that and I could very easily retreat into my own head and doze.

I do it at my parents in the big holidays, but I’ve never done it anywhere else.

It’s her sister and they are in their 50s. I’m sure they feel like they are home.
