A married woman has spoken out about her in-laws’ bizarre habits and sought advice after they branded her as ‘rude’ for going to sleep before them.

As the young lady in question revealed, she and her husband were visiting the man’s family and having a good time late into the night.

At 3 am, however, the woman felt too tired to stay awake any longer. That’s when she took a leave of her in-laws and went to her room upstairs to get some sleep.

While she didn’t think much of her very-normal actions at first, the woman was in for a surprise when her husband confronted her about her behavior and said his family thought it was very rude of her to go to sleep when they were still awake.

“So I’m spending the weekend at my partner’s house, we were all up late talking in the kitchen. My partner was having a conversation with his mother at the table whilst I was on the sofa on my phone feeling pretty tired. I then got up and went to give him a goodnight kiss and said I was going to bed. (At 3am),” the woman wrote in her Mumsnet post.

“He comes to bed 10 minutes later saying that it was rude of me to just come to bed and said that his mother thought so too. He said that I should be expected to stay up until whatever time they decide to go to bed, as it’s ‘rude to just take yourself off to bed.’”

Shocked by the bizarre rules her in-laws seem to follow religiously, the woman asked the internet if she was really in the wrong for going to sleep before her in-laws were ready to sleep.

Soon enough, she received lots of support from people who suggested her partner was being “ridiculous” and “unreasonable.” Some people also insisted the woman’s in-laws shouldn’t force their habits on other people and then get offended immediately when things don’t go their way.

“If you’d gone up at 9pm I might see their point,” one person wrote. “So few adults would go to bed at 9 pm that it would look like you prefer spending the hours before bed alone in your room, rather than socializing with them. By 3am, it’s fairly obvious that all you’re going up there to do is sleep.”

Another said: “If a family guest is tired or even just peopled out at 9 pm, then I don’t see the problem in them excusing themselves.”
