Dammit, I should have done that when my unmarried friends came and stayed at the house. Woulda been hilarious.

"Sorry Kev, you're sleeping on the floor. Oh yes, I'm very serious."

Responses:

To me, the only issue here is that she didn't tell her guests what she expected. Bottom line... - Jim Jan 12, 09:24 8
- I think 99% of the people agree with that. Yes, even on TT. - musubi Jan 12, 09:25 7
  - Do we know how many nights? I mean, sleeping on a floor for one night is nothing unless you are elderly. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:30 5
    - a week. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:30 4
      - Wow. How far away did they come from? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:34 1
        
        Wisconsin to Massachusetts. I wouldn't stay for a week either. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:35
      - In that case, I'd either bring my own mattress or not come. - Jim Jan 12, 09:31 1
        
        I actually like a firm mattress, so I have no problem with the floor, if there's enough carpeting/padding or a comforter. - musubi Jan 12, 09:33
  - Yep. And the floor is pretty harsh, but it is what it is. Stay in a hotel or stay home. -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 09:26
the best part was, she assumed they'd *know* they should do that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:16 19
- I know my grandma did it, but she set up an extra matress/sheets, so that the expectation was very explicit. - musubi Jan 12, 09:20
- oh, when you say on the floor, does your sister have an air mattress or anything like that? - Roger More Jan 12, 09:20 5
  - nope. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:21 4
    - who would you say is the most normal member of your family? -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:22 3
      - my older brother. The normalcy (of the kids) decreases with decreasing age. - loosilu Jan 12, 09:23 2
        
        I though he was the priest? (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:24 1
        
        no, he's the youngest. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:25
- I wouldn't assume I was sleeping in the same bed as Spawn in a crowded house. I'd just jockey for what's most comfy for me. - Amy Jan 12, 09:19 4
  - I wouldn't assume that we're sleeping together, but I damn sure wouldn't assume the floor is the expected location when room exists elsewhere. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:20 3
    - My mother was worried that there might be a problem re: sleeping arrangements for us when we were down last month. - kelly Jan 12, 09:28
    - there's a pull out couch. the host puts the two of you in that room. and you go on the floor? yeahright. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:21 1
      - Yeah, this is my main issue too. Expecting someone to sleep on the floor when half a foldout couch is available isn't right - Roger More Jan 12, 09:24
- that's what I find baffling. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:18 6
  - she is really unclear on what is normal to other people, vs herself. - loosilu Jan 12, 09:19 5
    - Her asking you what is normal makes me laugh. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:28 2
      - that should give you an idea how effed up she is. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:28 1
        
        25 Spawn Points -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:30
    - I'm just getting to this discussion, so pardon me if the point's been made, but it seems a cultural thing. - nubby Jan 12, 09:23
    - ah, make much more sense now. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:20
