Adult child has to make their bed before going to work

It is my parents house so I follow their rules and I have no intention of bringing this up.

I am 24 and live with my parents, it is a house rule that I have to make my bed before going to work.

Is this a silly rule or setting a good example?

No it's ultra controlling. A lot of parents don't seem to move on and see their young adult children as having the right to autonomy and to be treated as an equal adult. Are they over bearing in other ways?

How would they know? They shouldn’t be in your room

Why wouldn't you make your bed? You're a grown-up.

What's so silly about making your bed in the morning?

What would happen if you didn't, and how would your parents know?

Yeah I agree with previous poster, it’s silly but it’s also their house and therefore their rules

It’s a good rule but you should air it while you have breakfast.

Both. At the same time
