So, I was just curious...

Do you make your bed?

If it takes you three minutes to make your bed every day, from the age of five to the age of 55 you have spent 912.5 hours or 38 days making your bed. I don't know about you but I think I can find something more fun to do with 912.5 hours of my life besides making a bed.

    NOPE! We may pull the covers up and tidy a bit when we get out, but it takes less than 30 seconds and does not involve smoothing or decorative pillows :)

    oddly enough, we make the bed right before we get in it! i have a hyper dog who loves to mess up the covers, so there's really no point.

    I don't... I never understood why people would make the bed when they get up only to mess it up again that night. I can understand if you have guests or trying to sell your house and want it to look nice, but other than that who cares really? Only time I make my bed is after I wash the sheets and put them back on. lol

    Nope! When we started dating, my husband made his bed daily... let's just say I converted him!

    LOL, no not really.
    We never sleep under the comforter or anything (too hot!), but we use a little blanket and I just fold it up the next day. Not a big deal and we don't have anything fancy. No one ever sees our room anyway, so who cares! :P

    But, I remember always getting in trouble for not making my bed when I was a kid. UGH, what's the point?! I'm just going to mess it up later anyway. :( And I work hard while I'm asleep to get my bed comfortable and how I want it... Why would I want to mess that up by making it! :P

    My husband and i actually argue about that constantly. I see no point, the children jump on it and mess it up, we're just going to mess it up again anyway, etc. So we have compromised, I remember most days to put the pillows back on the bed and throw the cover up over it, but don't really "make" the bed. And oops, you just reminded me that I didn't even do that this morning. Time to go make it look somewhat presentable.

    I make my bed everyday! If not and something horrible happens, people will see my messy room. I have OCD issues!!! And by making it, it prevents me from getting back in

    This post just made me feel WAY better about myself! I do not make my bed other than when I put on fresh bedding or have people coming over (sometimes even then I just close my bedroom door) I have often thought I was the minority but i guess not! Yippee!!

    I will happily continue to NOT make my bed!

    i make mine.
    i think it's a control thing... if i walk into the room and bed is unmade it feels out of control... but walking in during the day and seeing it made feels calming... makes me feel like a 'grown-up' *LOL*

    go ahead and laugh..makes me laugh too *L*

    I do that a lot depending on how messed up the covers are... a bed that is made just feels more comfy.

    Me too. I love crawling into fresh wash sheets!

    Hell no! As a teenager I promised myself I would never make my bed after moving out of my parents house and I never broke that promise. LOL!

    As soon as we get out of it in the morning it's made! My hubby is actually the neat freak that got me into the habit. Normally we get out of bed at the same time so we make it together.
