Do you make the bed?

This is a totally random and pointless poll, mostly because I'm avoiding the massive pile of work on my desk.  So tell me: do you (or your H) make your bed regularly? 

I'm adding a clicky poll 'cause it's fancy.

Re: Do you make the bed?

  • I do...but when I leave the house before DH gets up...it doesnt get made...he doesnt really see the point...

  • This is a new thing for me. I used to not see the point, but recently it's just become part of my daily 'straightening up the house' routine - since I'm off and all. 
  • Look at you with your fancy pants clicky poll.

    I try to make the bed every day because I think it sets the tone for the rest of my day.  If I make the bed I'm more apt to clean the rest of the apartment.

  • I don't make the bed, but DH always makes the bed.  I think it is nice to come home to, but I never have time in the mornings to remember to make the bed.  So if he's gone before me, then the bed doesn't get made.

  • i never used to make my bed pre-DH (PDH?). never saw the point, never cared.

     DH straightens the bed every night before we go to sleep. it's basically making the bed minus putting the pillows upright and putting the sham pillows on the bed (which he finds to be pointless. sham pillows, that is)

    if i'm home for the day, i usually make the bed at some point. it may be at 4pm, but, ya know, whatever..! weekends truly depend on what we are doing.

    I know this is probably the oddest question ever, but I appreciate the responses!  Since my H was on nights for so long, it never dawned on me to even think about making the bed...someone was sleeping in it for most of the day.  Now that we're on the same schedule I was worried we were living like some crazy high school kids since we still weren't making it!  I'm glad we're not alone :)

    Yeah, this is kind of what I'm thinking.  Our bedroom tends to be a mess (not the rest of the house, just the bedroom - weird), and I think maybe making the bed can help?  We'll see!

    Seriously, these are the SUPER IMPORTANT, INTERESTING things I think about on my commute in to work.

    we are the same way. the rest of the house is clean and i am constantly picking it up. but the bedroom...that's another story. we have been making a better effort for the past month or so, but that's becase it got SO out of hand. i forced us to tend to it one weekend, and am doing my best to keep up with it so that we dont get there again. it's just not a room that we spend time in, except for at night.

  • Our bed is not made at the moment. MH never makes it and I sometimes make it if I am cleaning the bedroom or if people are coming over. I tend to make it more on the weekends, rarely on the weekdays. The only reason I like to make it is because it makes the room look cleaner...haha

    I usually do this, making the bed before I get in. Since I work during the day and DH works 2nd shift, it never gets made. It usually gets made over the weekends since I am home in the morning to do so. DH never makes the bed, not even after washing the sheets, just the fitted goes and the rest just get thrown on (not tucked in). I like the feel of straight, tucked in sheets and most of the time it helps with tangling around you when you toss and turn during the night.

  • yeah, we never make the bed....i do love getting into bed when its made, but we are NOT morning people so just getting up is an issue....
  • I make it every morning, but by make it I really mean, pull the sheetz and comforter up to the pillows. I don't normally straighten the pillows or put the throw pillows back on it, unless we're expecting company who will want a house tour. But our cat sleeps on the bed during the day and I don't want cat hair in our bed.

  • i made the bed this morning for the first time in weeks. and that is only because DH's family is coming to town today. it's funny because while i was making the bed today i was wondering if i'm a huge slob for never making the bed and if other women always make their beds. and then i decided that there is no point in making the bed every day because it's just making more work for myself and no one ever goes in our bedroom except me and the hub. :)
