not to make the wifes half of the bed

[BartySlartfast]

I am always up first and I keep telling DW to make the bed when she gets up,she never does. So now I only make my half of the bed.

AIBU?

YANBU because she won't care. If she cared about having a made bed, she'd make it.

Nope.

you keep telling her to make the bed?

what, cos she is your housekeeper or something?

how do you make half a bed?!

If you're a woman then no, of course you're NBU... but if you're a man, then you are and you will be disemboweled and shredded shortly.

YANBU. I would do the same to DH but the sight of the messy half a bed would do my head in. You are obviously made of sterner stuff.

Why do you make your bed at all?

I think he tells her to make the bed cause she gets up after him - nowt wrong with him asking that?!

Yanbu!

I quite happily make all the bed whilst dh battles getting 3 dc dressed and breakfasted.

Didn't you know that it's best to let the bed air until at least lunchtime?

Average human perspiration at night is one and a half pints!

Maybe she likes her side dry!

Would twin beds solve the issue better?

Sorry if I assumed you were a man if you are a lady - it's not very clear!

he isn't asking her anything, he's telling her

and i'm afraid he has no right to tell his wife to do anything.
if he wants the bed made he can make it... or does he come down in the morning and then never ever set foot in the room again til nighttime?

OOOOOHHHH...
A dry side of the bed..

LUSH.

Swap sides anyone??

Do you make your side while she is still in the bed ?

And what childofisis said. To air is human

I prefer to 'turn the bed back' in order to 'air' it for a couple of hours.

Oops just seen previous poster.

Making beds is bad

Why don't you try asking instead of telling? And is it really that big a deal anyway?

DH never makes the bed if he's the last one out. Drives me nuts. I tell him frequently to do it but he just ignores me.

Is there something you'd like to share with us Reeling?

It's my birthday nexr week so I'm hopefull of a reason to air the bed!!!!

Nothing worse than a 'wet patch'.

Ohhh, ha ha, I've been known to make my side of the bed when dh is still in it. That's because he thinks it's reasonable to stay in it until after lunchtime at a weekend when I'm shopping/washing clothes.

I excelled myself this morning by asking 14 times if I thought I was annoying by shouting up the stairs.

He loves me really

The shape of Africa....

YABVU and really quite skanky!

Beds should be left back to air until after lunch.

Have you got some wierd 1950s style bed with sheets and blankets and one of those candlewick bedspreads? Cos surely most modern beds just require you to straighten out the duvet a bit, hardly something that necessitates housework conflict or threads on mumsnet!
