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?

Move out! I air the bed literally all day. Making it is trapping all the sweaty humid air in it.

So do I! humans sweat about 3 pints of water each night. I also give it a light spray with essential oil mix so it smells lovely when I get back in,

I did google and I couldn't find any credible sources saying that we sweat 3 pints overnight

This suggests 200ml - https://healthmatch.io/weight-management/how-much-weight-do-you-lose-overnight#water-weight-loss

Even that is much more than I think I do

Over doing it? You think? 😂

Their house, their rules. They're probably hoping you'll move out soon and wondering when they'll get their house back to enjoy as they please. Do you cause mess and disorder in shared areas?

But assuming you have a duvet it takes about 5 seconds. I'm hugely slovenly and disorganised by MN standards but even I manage to make the bed, ie pull the duvet back up every morning, while I'm getting dressed.

Unnecessarily unkind.
