I'm 46, until a year or so ago, I didn't know that you're supposed to make your bed, and get this, most adults do.this bed making thing every single day.

I was having a conversation with a group of people, and some talked about making their bed, and o said that.I never make my bed. In fact, I didn't even have a bed spread, just sheets and blankets. It was brought to my attention that that's not normal. I have since asked many friends and apparently everyone in the world makes their bed, except me. Long live the outlier.

    I don't make my bed. At most I fluff the duvet and throw it over the top. I'm just gonna crawl back in it later!

    If you have time to make your bed, you have time to work out.

    I don't make my bed either! I have 2 mattresses, a fitted sheet and a comforter. My kids don't make their beds either... they fold up their blankets and put them on the pillows. pau. (done)

    I just starting making my bed about a month ago. The reason? I let my kids eat on it and I was sick of laying in cracker crumbs (even worse, listening to my husband b*tch about it). Feeling like a slob now since I don't actually clean the crumbs up. :frown:

    The only reason I kinda straighten it up is so that if my cat decides to barf on the bed, I only have to change the comforter instead of all the sheets.

    I don't make ours unless I need to use it to fold laundry.

    I prefer a rumpled bed, (although the rest of the house is immaculate). My husband makes the bed despite my preference, and I sigh every time I have to untuck those lovely corners he made and have to make a new nest for my nightly slumber.

    I make it about every other day. But only so my comforters, blanket, and sheet are lined up perfectly to achieve maximum warmth.

    I always make my bed in the morning right after my shower.

    I only make my bed for two reasons:
    1) I have company coming over
    2) I'm putting on new sheets

    Otherwise, what's the point of spending time doing something that no one will see and you'll mess up again in a few hours?

    Haha, this!

    Or if I have company coming over. It feels like getting caught in your underwear when the bed's unmade when company's over for some reason.

    I used to.. pillows and everything.. then I realized I don't want people to see my bedroom.. so what was the point? I keep it clean and in nice condition, but I rarely make it anymore, I just straighten it out at night.

    You and every non-liar in the world!
