When you\u2019re a\u00a0teenager\u00a0and you invite your first girlfriend or boyfriend over to spend the night, it\u2019s not unusual for parents to put their foot down and refuse to let you sleep in the same room as your\u00a0partner. <\/p>\n
But one woman\u00a0on Reddit\u00a0has discovered her\u00a0parents\u00a0still don\u2019t want her sharing a bed with her significant other when they go over to visit, even though they\u2019re both adults and are\u00a0married\u00a0\u2013 and even have children.<\/p>\n
Sharing her story anonymously, the 24-year-old woman explained she was recently visiting her parents with her husband and their two sons and was getting ready to settle down for the night when her mum told her husband he would have to sleep on the sofa in the living room.<\/p>\n And when asked why all her mum could say was that her dad \u201cdoesn\u2019t feel comfortable\u201d with them sharing a bed under their roof.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She wrote: \u201cMy husband and I are visiting my family. My husband, kids and I were getting ready to go to our room for bed when my parents started acting really awkward. Like something was off.<\/p>\n \u201cI asked them what was wrong and my mum quietly told me that my husband should sleep on the couch in the living room. I was a bit shocked because \u2026 why? Apparently, my dad doesn\u2019t feel comfortable. I called her and my dad weird and told my husband to ignore them.<\/p>\n \u201cWe finally put our kids to sleep and were getting ready to sleep when my mum barged into the room while we were changing and said that she doesn\u2019t want us in the same room alone in her house.<\/p>\n \u201cMy husband was freaking terrified at this point because he was in the middle of changing, so he leaves for the couch and my mum says she\u2019s sorry but she\u2019s not in the mood to deal with my dad\u2019s complaining all night.\u201d<\/p>\n The woman said she got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water and noticed her husband was still wide awake, so went and sat with him for a moment \u2013 until they both accidentally fell asleep on the sofa together.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI got up at like 4 am to drink some water and I saw my husband wide awake just lying on the couch. He said the couch is uncomfortable as f**k, so I sat down next to him and we both accidentally fell asleep.<\/p>\n \u201cI woke up later to my mum freaking out. She was whisper yelling so she didn\u2019t wake up my dad and asked if we\u2019re that co-dependent on each other that we can\u2019t spend one night alone.<\/p>\n I tried explaining that it was a mistake but she kept calling me disrespectful and said that I was selfish. I was upset but my son called for me so we ended our conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n And even though the sofa nap was an honest mistake, the woman has been branded \u201cdisrespectful\u201d by her family \u2013 but doesn\u2019t understand why her parents are being so \u201cweird\u201d about the situation. <\/p>\n She said: \u201cNow I\u2019m wondering if I really am the a**hole in this situation? My mum says I am because I was being selfish, disrespectful and completely disregarded how difficult her life would\u2019ve become if my dad found us. My whole thing is that it was an accident, I\u2019m 24, and my dad is being weird.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenters on the Reddit post were baffled by the parents\u2019 actions, as many of them said it was strange to keep the married couple apart, especially when they already have children together.<\/p>\n One person said: \u201cIf you\u2019re married and have kids, they should respect your marriage and let you guys sleep together.<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard enough falling asleep in someone else\u2019s house, at least let the people have the comfort of having their spouse there to sleep with.\u201d<\/p>\n While another added: \u201cWhat kind of shenanigans is this? I don\u2019t see why your dad has any issues with you sleeping in the same room with your husband. You guys have kids so clearly sex has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n And a third wrote: \u201cHe\u2019s your husband. What\u2019s wrong with your parents? You are married and married people sleep together.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0_Young-couple-sleeping-on-a-couch.jpg\")
