I *usually* make the bed before I open the house up, because we have huge windows in our room and when I open the curtains you can see if our bed isn't made lol. Although my definition of "make the bed" varies sometimes it means throw the doona over the bed and squish any lumps. Other days it means straighten and tuck in the top sheet and then throw the doona over the top.
But when we lived in a house with 'normal' sized windows, I usually wouldn't bother LOL. Unless I was in a pedantic mood.
It does make the room a look neater, and when i do make the bed nicely (straigten the sheets too not just check a doona over the top hehe) I always look forward to climbing into nice, flat, crisp sheets, not crumpled left-all-day sheets.
I usually make the bed after my morning loo trip....for about the first 3 days after changing the sheets (which probably should be changed more often). Then I get annoyed at being the only one who does it, even if I'm not the last one in the bed, so I go on strike
I make it the day the cleaner comes, otherwise she does it and I'd rather she cleaned than made beds as I don't see it as a huge priority.
On weekends I am more likely to do it because we are around a lot more and I see it - and a tidy bed brightens the whole room. But when we are at work all day, it's just one of those things that is not a priority with everything else that needs to be done in the mornings.
I would like Miss K to get into the habit of doing it though, but I might need to do it myself for that to happen!!
