Do you make the bed?

[Tarnished]

I don't make my bed because my husband is still sleeping in it when I get up. On the mornings that we wake up together I still don't make it. I sometimes tidy it up right before going to sleep. But I don't let other people see my bedroom so I don't really care how my bed looks.

Then there is my kids logic. Why make it when I'm just going to sleep in it again tonight?

I always liked that one.

Of course next time he asks for dinner just respond, "Why feed you? You're just going to get hungry again."

I used to ask them when they were younger and they would ask me what was for dinner..."You ate yesterday didn't you?"

Shake the sheets?? What, and wake the bed bugs up? And the family of earwigs under the bed? Someone mentioned pajama's and an iron. What's an iron? I don't think they sell those in Ga. :|

Making the bed every morning has been a habit since I was a wee child. Your day hasn't really started until your bed is made. So at our home, it is me, who makes the bed. If I wasn't around—it would never be made :Þ

For a long time, I threw a cover over the bed to make it look presentable. I have since given up on that and find that matching dark design sheets and comforter doe not look as disheveled when unmade.

Yea verily I need a handmaid to make things tidy, but alas that comes with its own set of problems.

Hey Bini, I can't remember if you grew up in the Philippines. It was really cool when I lived in the Philippines. I wake up, I take a bath, when I come out of the bath, my bed is already made and my clothes for the day is on top of the bed neatly pressed. I get dressed, I go to the dining room where a hot breakfast is ready. I MISS THAT!

I've always been the bedmaker. My cats are too darn lazy and the dog was too short to reach high enough to put on clean sheets. The fish is allergic to my fabric softener.

What I want is for a hubby at least once durning the marriage make the bed all by himself. After all, he sleeps in the bed too. Why should I have all the joy found in bedmaking and then keep it all to myself.

Yep, grew up for awhile in the Philippines :] I remember taking COLD showers because I'd get so hot and sticky! I preferred cool water to hot water back in those days. Now it seems like I can't be in the hot shower long enough during the freezing cold winter season in UT!

I usually make the bed, but not very well. I have kids and if they just sit on my bed there will be crumbs. I'd rather the crumbs not be in the sheets.

I guess most days don't start in my family

I just made my bed three times in a row because of this thread. Can I change my original post to this question?

Yippeee!!! Congratulations! Keep it up!

When I was single I did not make the bed. However, my wife is insistent that it get made, even when we stay at a hotel. So, for her, I make the bed when I get the chance.

lol I did once someone resurrected a thread that was about a year old, I reread my original post and completely disagreed with myself

[Hemidakota]

Kind of an odd-ball question but do you make the bed? When I was growing up my mother used to make me make my bed before I left for the day but now that I'm grown rarely, if ever, do I make the bed. Friends who are married now say they never make the bed unless company comes over, which doesn't really make sense, unless the company will be in your bed room. So, do you still make the bed?

Yes and no...who is last to get up makes the bed in the morning.

One of my friends also quit smoking when I showed him this thread. I also made a big donation to United Way upon reading it.

Funny that happened this morning. It is 70 degrees here in Florida. My kids went to bed very late last night, so they woke up about 30 minutes ago. We were supposed to be at my in-law's house 10 minutes ago... So, I rushed everybody with the morning activities - and I saw my son playing with his toys. I tell him, "Why are you playing? You need to make your bed!". And he answers, "Mom, I was so smart. Last night I was thinking I would just lay on top of my finished bed and not move so that when I wake up I won't have to make the bed. And it really works! You should try it, Mom!"

Funny.
