[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m currently sick and being lazy, napping. I always feel guilty when I do, even when my husband sweetly tucks me in, brings me tea in bed, etc. Napping is normal and healthy when sick. So why didn’t my mother allow it?

When I would come home from school sick and would want to nap, my mother would get angry and tell me, “You’re not going to just nap all evening.” Not because I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, not because there were things to do, just… because. So I would get up and watch TV, or read, or sit in the living room. All idle things. But I couldn’t nap.

I’ve always wondered what her motivation was. I wasn’t missing homework or work/chores or extracurriculars. She just wouldn’t allow napping, but gave no reasons. I would ask her, but I cannot. So as I lay and ponder, I thought I’d ask here. Does anyone know?[/quote]

She thought it would mess up your sleep schedule or may be in her family of birth, it was looked as something lazy children did so she just repeated that without much thought.[/quote]
