[quote=Anonymous]I hate the fact that everyone jumps to the conclusion that your mom was a bad person. My guess is that she had some experience--a childhood friend, a family story, or just something she read about--involving someone who went to bed sick and never woke up or was much more critically sick than they seemed. Keeping you awake might have been her way of keeping an eye on you without saying, "I'm afraid if you go to bed, you'll die." A kid in my hometown died of meningitis during a nap. My mom didn't keep us from napping, but she was always asking us to move our necks around to see if they were stiff. I did the same with my kids, probably never gave them an explanation, and they probably thought it was a weird request. [/quote]
