Who makes the bed/s in your household?

[Lord Wortherington]

You? Significant Other? Kids? Unmade day after day after day?

[terrya]

1. I never make my bed.

What's the point?

[Lord Wortherington]

4. I used to not

Now it's a force of habit.

[mainegreen]

2. What is this 'make the bed' of which you speak?

[unpossibles]

3. my dog and cats sleep in it all day

so making it would just be a waste of everyone's time.

[barb162]

33. hahahaha

I move them very gently and put them back on the made bed.

[FloridaJudy]

5. I do.

It takes me hundreds of hours. Really. I make quilts. Once they're finished, though, it only takes a few seconds to fling them over the rumpled bedsheets.

And it's fun.

[madinmaryland]

6. The cats do...

Afterwards they take a nap...

[SoxFan]

12. Stole my answer!

Putting the comfy in comforter, aren't they?

[Mojorabbit]

29. What is my yellow cat

doing in your bed?

[Omphaloskepsis]

7. Damn...

I can barely feed myself.. I sleep with my shoes on. But I just spent 12+ hours fixing my sisters home network. I'm not worthless.

[lost-in-nj]

8. I make mine everyday

I think it makes my messy bedroom a little neater....
and I like to get into a made bed...
:)


lost

[Lord Wortherington]

10. That's the way I feel

If that part of the house is somewhat kept it makes up for the other mess around the house.

[Burma Jones]

9. unmade day after day

Kids' beds too......just not a high priority at Casa new_beawr

[redqueen]

11. I don't believe in making beds.

:D

[momophile]

13. when my hubbie does, I usually have to fix it

so I guess I always do.

[supernova]

14. There ain't no bugger else

besides me! :-)

I sleep with an electric warmer in the winter time and it's better for the wires if you lay them flat as possible.

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. The dog

But she's been on strike the last two weeks demanding more walks, better treats, and less vet visits.
Day after day she's been taking her stand on this and wearing her "I am blue!" doggie protest bonnet,
constantly running around the backyard and yipping, "Let sleeping dogs lie!"


She also is demanding to not wear the French maid uniform anymore, and insists she can do housework in the au naturel.

(Neighbor's dog in the standard uniform)


The neighbors are complaining because their dogs are starting to get get up in paws over this, and want to join her cause.
Constantly, they bark their support across the fences of our community.
We are all becoming fearful that there will be no Christmas this year if the dogs all go on strike, and we actually have to make our own beds after lying in them.

My dog is making me very unpopular in this town. :scared:

And my bed hasn't been made all during that time, not to mention getting the sheets washed and my pillows fluffed :cry:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. My mom makes my parents' bed.

I never make my bed, and nobody else does, either. You're just going to get into it in 16-18 hours again anyway. What's the point?

:D

[huskerlaw]

17. Nobody.

I was forced to make my bed as a kid and I always thought it was completely pointless.

Now the only time I make it is if I have company over, or if I want to do work on the bed for some reason.

[AlCzervik]

18. me, but on the weekends my daughter makes her own bed.

her room is insanely neat and clean. I cannot stand an unmade bed, i don't know why and i don't care to know why but it makes me uptight.

[tigereye]

19. I do, but I read that if you don't make if there are fewer allergens...

so unmade bed apparently equals fewer allergens and less sneezing.

[Critters2]

34. Thank you!

I love a good rationalization! Mind if I use that one? :)

[tigereye]

35. like I said I read it somewhere, but it is an excellent rationalization, isn't it?

:rofl:

[DS1]

20. just use a large blanket or two

no bed to make, really

[fizzgig]

21. i just pull it up

my cats sleep on the bed all day and i don't want their fur *in* the bed...not that it helps much :D

[Crabby Appleton]

22. Near as I can tell, nobody

certainly not me - waste of time.

[DaveinMD]

23. your supposed to make a bed?

who knew?

[Lord Wortherington]

25. I know, and apparently...

that basin in the kitchen that the fawcett flows into is storage for dirty dishes until you can go out and buy new ones.

[Orsino]

24. Whoever gets up last.

That's usually my wife.

[applegrove]

26. It's called a Duvet. And once you have one..nobody has any excuse not to make their bed.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Make the bed? Why in the world would I do that?

It's work, and it would disturb the cats.

[femmocrat]

28. Everyone makes their own. Hazel doesn't live here.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. Bed? Make?

[Kutjara]

31. Unmade beds are healthier.

I read an article a few months ago that said unmade beds host fewer bedbugs, dustmites and other nasties because the sheets are exposed to the air and can dry out. Made beds are more humid and therefore provide a more hospitable atmosphere for creepie-crawlies.

I don't know if it's true or not, but it makes a great excuse for slovenliness.

[barb162]

32. me

And they're made every day. I can't stand a sloppy looking bed.

[From The Ashes]

36. I only make the bed if someone's coming over...

...but since I am a social hermit, you can imagine the state of my bed!

[TimeChaser]

37. No one

The only time beds are really made is if the room's been cleaned, or the sheets have just been changed.

[nonconformist]

38. I make mine before I get in it most of the time. I make my kids make theirs if company is coming.

[Flaxbee]

39. I do.

The rest of the house is so cluttered that having a made bed somehow is just more calming when I go to bed. My husband is the kind of guy who drops plastic wrapping from boxes, or wrappers around lozenges, or whatever, right where he's opened the box of software or lozenge or whatever. Drives me freaking insane, sometimes. He's learned to keep his mess in his office, we've compromised on the amount of clutter in the rest of the house, but the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are TIDY. That includes a made bed.

[JCMach1]

40. The Maid...

Different culture... DIY is uncool in the Middle-East

[Evoman]

41. Make....the....bed?

Huh? I sleep with one blanket. Making a bed is unnessecary. People who make their beds have too much time on their hands. They are the kind of people who walk with a stick up their butt, put the toilet seat down, run water while they are peeing, eat with cutlery, and make life miserable for all of us who don't HAVE to count the number of rings before we answer the phone, or wash the dishes before we finish eating, or fold our newspapers back into perfect squares.

:evilgrin:

[asdjrocky]

42. Make the bed?

Wow, I thought that was a myth.

[Evoman]

43. Those bed making freaks really do exist.
