[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry) It makes me psychotically angry when my husband, Chris, takes naps or relaxes on the couch during the day.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=10) I grew up with boomer parents. Um, I am a first-generation American on my dad's side.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=18) My dad is from Cuba. Um, very, very, very hardworking parents. Nobody sat down on a couch unless it was nighttime, and no one took naps, you know. My mom certainly didn't take naps.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=31) My dad would take, you know, some l- little afternoon siestas, but it felt like he was allowed to do that because he was such a hard worker.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=41) I'm not saying that Chris isn't a hard worker. Sorry, Chris.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=44) But I get crazy if I see him take a nap or relax on the couch during the day.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=52) Um, and I'll deliberately, like, try to pick a fight with him about it.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=55) You know, I'll stomp around and slam doors like a toddler.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=59) And so if he's gonna take a nap, you know, he'll try to avoid me because he knows how mad I get. Uh, and I don't...

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=67) Myself, I don't like to take naps. Um, uh, if I even will sit for a second on the couch during the day, I instantly start to feel depressed or like my mom is gonna come back from the dead and yell at me because that's just not what you do.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=83) Um, and, you know, Chris obviously didn't grow up like that, and he is well within his rights to take a nap when he wants to. Uh, he does, and he's taking a nap today, and I've been stewing like a freaking winter stew, angry about it and making loud noises on purpose because it makes me so mad. Why am I like this? Is this like a

[1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=106) child of boomer, child of immigrants attitude? Is it...

[1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=113) Am I just being a jerk? I mean, again, I don't take naps, so it's not like this kindness extends to me, you know, only and no one else. I don't take naps.

[2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=124) I have two teenagers. If my teenagers take naps, I'm like, "Of course, my baby, go take a nap," but your father better not ever take a nap.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=132) I'm not gonna stop being mad at him about it because he's annoying, and I have to spend the rest of our lives together trolling him.

[2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=141) I'm just curious to know if other people are like this with their partners.

[2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5LhUCWNoDriv/en/why-does-my-husband-taking-naps-make-me-angry?t=145) Does their ability to relax make you insane?
