Do You Make Your Bed?

[Road Runner]

This is a current debate in my family and I'm just curious what the general consensus is. I don't because I'm just going to go ahead and climb into it later on at night. XD

I don't use a bed. I have a sleeping bag I use to sleep on the floor. Yeah, I am lazy. Lol

Yes. Just part of normal house keeping discipline, taught in childhood for an orderly clean home.

It was never enforced for me so I never did it when I was a child either. XD

changing the sheets twice a week is my thing.

My wife does it daily to keep the dogs off the sheets & pillows.

Prior to marrying I only made my bed once a week when I wash the sheets & pillow cases or I had company. I hate those decorative pillows. Mostly I slept in my recliner.

No, for exactly that reason.

Just don't hire Jen Psaki to make your bed. She may have to "circle back". Lol

I am chagrined to admit: No.

One of the compromises I've made in marriage is not making the bed. mr. boe has a weird schedule and sleeps a split shift of going to bed late, up early and then afternoon nap.

So making the bed is a bit of a why bother.

But I do change the sheets once a week.

I worry about dust mites.

I worry about dust mites.

That's why you spray the bed first before you put the sheets on. Spray and leave it for an hour or so.

Discipline trains for self discipline later and improves overall performance in all things.

I'm not saying I wasn't disciplined, I'm saying I was never forced to make my bed. Just like I was never forced to eat foods I didn't like or everything on my plate. That's just how I grew up.

I make up the bed because it doesn't take an enormous amount of effort ... And I like the way the bedroom looks when the bed is made.

Why do your laundry?
It will just get dirty again

Why wash the dishes?
They will just get dirty again

Why cut the grass?
It will just grow back

Only when my wife is away.

That is the only time I cook, clean, wash clothes etc.

I just pull the covers up to the pillows because the dogs will get on the bed and I dont want dog hair all over me.

You confuse disciple possibly with punishment. Repetitiously teaching and enforcing standards in daily life raising kids, gives them standards and improves performance and enhances self-discipline in general. Most of the ills of society are directly linked to a lack of self-discipline taught and enforced in the home and schools during the formative years.
