I aim to make them everyday... I agree, it feels "right" to have them done.... it can affect the state of mind. I'm not too hard on myself when it doesn't get done... but I can't remember ever thinking "Gee i wish I didn't make those bed today... what a waste" making them always comes with a feel good factor. Even if 3yo DS jumps all over his. I know that if someone pops over I won't be embarrassed. Plus I find that making them usually turns up dirty and lost items of clothing... that missing sock for example... so it does serve a practical purpose I guess.
