To Hate Bunk Beds?!

We are thinking about moving so the first step is to make the house look presentable - not easy with 5DCsGrin

Anyway, we cleared out the spare room which had 10 years worth of junk in it and decided to put in bunk beds. New duvets and covers bought - really looking lovely - told DH and DC its for decoration and no one to go in there - OTT I know but just want to keep things looking nice until Estate Agent does photos!!

Next thing, all DC arguing - they all want to sleep in them despite the fact they all have king/super king beds - eldest is nearly 13 and youngest nearly 2. Even DH had a turn - seemingly to make sure they were safe!! Assumed it's the novelty factor so relented - turns about - BUT they are a nightmare to make - is it just me??

AIBU to hate them? I am a neat freak and like bedding to look crisp and all straight - can't make top one without a struggle up ladder and duvet can't hang properly because of safety rail and bottom one nightmare as keep banging my head leaning in and out - is there a special way to make them that I don't know about?! Smile

How old are your dc? Can they not make the bed up?

I have given up trying to make them cos they are a nightmare! just don't do it at all until the photos are about to be done and if the kids want to sleep on them they will have to make so with sleeping bags Grin

DCs could make the beds but they don't make them to my exacting standardsGrin. I HATE wrinkled covers - think I will just have to shut the door on them since there are no special tricks to making them

You have 5 kids and a spare room? Do you live in Buckingham palace?
