Stepdaughter will sleep anywhere, anytime with anyone!!
Do any of you have a stepdaughter who will sleep anywhere, with anyone, in any situation, if she is bored?
She is small and petite and 27 years old. If she is visiting family, friends, in a movie theatre, on a date, etc....if she is bored, she will curl up in a little ball and go to sleep.
She doesn't seem to know how to deal with boredom. If there isn't enough action, or people are catering to her need for attention, she will pass out!
At her wedding, a dear friend of her new husband said that she did this at their house - at a family gathering - the first time she met them. They thought it was "cute" and it showed that she must have felt very comfortable with them and that is why she did this.
My husband and I just looked at one another because we couldn't believe how CLUELESS these people were!!! His daughter only does this if she is BORED!!! She is like a child!
Has anyone else had a skid that did this? Is she going to do this when she is 50? :O
Yeah, you thought this post was going to be juicer didn't you? 
It sounds like we have the
It sounds like we have the same skid! :O
Maybe it is a symptom of this younger generations need to be constantly "entertained" with video games, movies, texting, tweeting, chatting, etc....
I hope none of them go into be a brain surgeon, I wouldn't want them falling asleep in the middle of a long tedious surgery!!!
How many of these "boredom prone" young people are there out there?
Frankly, I was surprised to get even one response from someone who had a similar situation. Are there others? :O
This is scary! :jawdrop:

I'd buy an airhorn and blow it right by her head everytime she pulled that stunt.

Yes - airhorn sounds a good idea. But - is it impinging on your lives? I take it at 27 she doesn't live with you, so I suppose she is only inconveniencing herself and the people who are daft enough to let her curl up like a 4 year old on their couches. It does sound very infantile and dysfunctional, so if she does it when she comes to have "quality time" with her father, I would suggest that someone says to her that she doesn't bother visiting again unless she is going to be awake for the whole visit. Quite apart from anything else, it's incredibly rude to go and visit someone and go to sleep.
Yes, Snickersgal, I did the
Yes, Snickersgal, I did the same thing. It was obvious that she was tired, so we let her sleep. WRONG THING TO DO!!!
Between her two previous boyfriends - also very immature - she was either sleeping, or answering her phone because one boyfriend kept "stalking" her the whole time she was with the family. We had invited him to come also, but she said he couldn't because of family issues. Later, we found out she had LIED and never invited him. He was upset, and she was mortified she was caught. She never did apologize for her bad behavior, she was just upset she got caught.
We are not allowing them to our home anymore. They can talk to their father over the phone. Even if they want to "work things out" we are going to meet them on "neutral territory" at a resturant or someplace else. If they start their usual bologna, we can get up and leave them sitting here! This will be easier than trying to make them leave our home.
We've already heard her fiance complain about her sleeping while they were dating, and we jokingly (to let him know he wasn't the only one she does this with) said "Oh, she does that with you too"? He obviously didn't get the hint - cause he married her. He will eventually see that it is just ONE symptom of her selfish behavior. That is, if he can stop thinking about himself long enough to notice. He is in for a rude awakening....someday. We are making bets on when it will happen.
