Do you make your beds every day?

[~Kim~]

I'm a 'make it as soon as the last body is out of it' girl too.
My 3yo makes her own bed.
Sheet day is Mondays and they get aired until the sheets dry (even though I use different sheets )

What a Q

Of course. I make the bed as soon as i wake up before going to the loo and washing my face. My Dh does nightshift and if i am awake before he comes home, i make the bed and open all the windows so the room airs.
I make both kids beds, well 1 bed and 1 cot. If the kids jump on the beds, i get really cross and remake the bed.
When DH wakes up from his sleep at about 5.30pm (to go to work), i will make the bed, aerate the room and vaccuum the carpet. I must vaccuum!
I cannot sleep in an unmade bed. And plus it looks very untidy.

I do the same TD... I make it before I even have a shower... It's habit. Windows open, blinds open all good...

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!!

[~Hestia~]

Yep an unmade bed is one thing I cannot handle!!
If DH does night shift I'll still make it - even if I'm about to get in it.

I'm a bed-maker, which was definitely instilled in me by my mother. I will admit that when I lived alone as a young adult I didn't care, but now I do!

Bed is made as soon as I'm out of it. Like the others, bed made, curtains and windows open and I feel ready for the day. DP couldn't care less, but DD makes her bed every day as well (I have to ask and it's only as well as she can be expected to at not-quite-four, but I'm happy!).

I also have a thing for the bedrooms being tidied before we go out, so DD puts away toys, etc.

[Heaven]

I never make it!!
Unless my mum is coming to visit, lol.

I make it properly when I change the sheets, but otherwise, rarely. Occasionally I get inspired to do it because it does look nice, but I'd rather have the rooms we spend awake time in tidy so they are a priority.

We keep the bedroom door shut anyway, because otherwise DS is in their doing all sorts of cheeky things, or the air-con is on in the living area during the hotter parts of the day at the moment so we keep everything else shut up, so it's not like it gets looked at. And we only have a sheet on the bed anyway this time of year, which gets scrumpled up or pushed to the end of the bed within a millisecond of getting into bed, so it's a bit of an exercise in futility. In winter when we have a doona I'll straighten it up a bit so that it doesn't get scrunched up inside the cover, but that's about it.

My mum is one of those 'beds must be made to within an inch of their lives' kind of people so I think I alternately rebel and conform to such fussiness. But mostly rebel.

MD, according to your stepmum I must be very morally deficient cos I couldn't care less about making beds everyday.

Meh, I've always known I'm morally deficient - ain't nothing new there
