Do you make your bed?

I do, every day. It looks so untidy and I love getting into a made bed.

But I was talking to a friend earlier and she never does. So just wondered what the general consensus was.

Make your bed (at least 5 days out of 7) = You are not being unreasonable

Don’t make your bed = You are being unreasonable

Every. Single. Day.

I do it because I deserve a nice space.

Yes, I put the pillows straight, neaten the sheet and fold the duvet back to air tgw bed. I always put the duvet back before I get in it though!

I never make my bed, it I also generally struggle with picking up after myself and the house is untidy. I spend ages all the time tidying it up (and it’s not dirty) but I seem to always leave things out so whenever I walk into a room it’s messy.

it gets tidied up a short while later but it just therefore always feels a mess. Things like putting the cereal away or picking my clothes up off the floor.

I rarely do, yet it looks so much nicer when I do.

I fold the duvet back so it airs but looks neat.

I make mine every day! It’s never crossed my mind not to.

Yes, and I lie in it.

ETA - sorry, couldn't resist.
