Parents won't let her sleep with her husband when they visit them: "They called me disrespectful"
When you are a teenager and you bring your boyfriend or girlfriend home for the first time, you know that your parents will always be reluctant to let you both sleep in the same room or bed together. Be it a question of being too young, or of social norms - in short, there are various reasons that might let a parent welcome the partner of their child into their house with open arms, but without allowing him or her to share the same bed with his offspring. But it is one thing to forbid this kind of thing to a couple of underage sweethearts. It is totally another thing is to separate a husband and wife with children into different rooms when they are at their parents' house.

The bizarre story that was told on Reddit by a 24-year-old woman - a woman who is married and has children - and has caused a lot of debate on the web. The woman said that her parents still don't want her and her husband to sleep in the same room or bed when they visit them. The woman's mother even asked her son-in-law to sleep on the sofa at the home, while his wife would sleep with her two children in the nursery: "My husband and I often visit my parents. My husband, the children and I stayed there. We were getting ready for bed in our room when my parents started acting really awkward, like something was wrong. I asked them what was wrong and my mom told me in a low voice that my husband would have to sleep on the sofa in the living room. I was a little shocked, but apparently my dad doesn't feel comfortable.
We finally put our kids to sleep and were getting ready to go to bed too when my mom walked into the room as we were changing and she said she doesn't want us in the same room at her house. My husband was terribly upset and bitter about that, but he gives up and he goes to sleep on the sofa and my mom says she's very sorry but she's not in the mood to deal with my dad's complaints all night. "
As the girl recounts, that night she woke up around four in the morning get a drink of a glass of water. When she got to the living room she saw that her husband was awake and lying on the sofa because he could not sleep. She walked over to him, they lay down and they fell asleep together. Unfortunately, early in the morning, when the woman's mother saw that they were both sleeping on the same sofa together, she flew into a rage: "I woke up later with my mother going crazy. I tried to explain that it was a mistake, but she kept calling me disrespectful and said I was selfish. I was angry at the time but my son called out to me, so we ended our argument there. At the end of this whole thing, it was I who was being blamed for being disrespectful to my father. Do you think that's fair? "
The majority of users obviously took the side of the woman - a wife and mother of two children - condemning the decidedly antiquated and very conservative attitude of her parents. What do you think of this bizarre family event?
