Do you make your bed every morning?

[Merlin99]

Did she also tell you (like mine did) that the little sewn-in tag goes to the lower right corner of the bed for proper orientation?

Yes, 60+ years later that’s one of the few memories from those years.

This thread reminded me of my grandma and her teaching me to make my bed. I think it may be the first thing anyone taught me rather than just learning by watching. She told me that the wide basting goes at the top and that the sewed side goes down so that it is facing up when it is folded over the blanket.

That's what I was taught.

my Dad taught me...

boy .was he strict on how a bed should be made ...

For your consideration ...

One of my girls is the same size as Ruby, after making bed, I put her blanket at the end of the bed..that's where she'll lay for her nap. During the night she snuggles next to me.

They're so smart..and learn fast.

Mine balls up right next to my pillow, at 48lbs. By the morning, he's stretched straight out under the blankets with his head towards the bottom snuggling me. Can't figure out how he breathes under there.

Same! My little girl is the same..wants completely under the blankets. At first, I was worried and would keep checking if still breathing.

Ruby sleeps up against my back.

sometimes to the point of nearly pushing me off the bed.

Mine did. He'd lay between us lengthwise, and thru the night turn sideways. Pushed us right off the bed.

Well, my 7# cat tries to sleep right up against me. Nope, too hot. She's learned to give me some space.

Ever been pushed near off the side with his paws when he stretches? Or have those claws dig into your back or chest while he's stretching? Been there.

I've made my bed every morning since I was old enough to do so.

Better yet, are their any guys who make their bed? Men are notorious slobs - any exceptions in here?

YES! 100% always.

 

[Czar]

The maid does that. First two were lazy, so I divorced them.

 

[PrchJrkr]

When she's here, we sleep in our room. I'm always up first and she'll make the bed as part of her morning routine.

When she stays at her place, I sleep on a futon with a mattress topper and quilt thrown on top of it in "the den", which is my old room. A pillow and light blanket are all I need and don't really need "making".

 

[RareBreed]

I make my bed every morning. Husband makes his bed every morning. Neither one of my sons make their beds unless they've washed the sheets and put them back onto the bed.

 

[frequentflier]

Although I have awesome flannel sheets, I rarely sleep in them. Rather, I sleep on top under a blanket. In the morning, I "make" the bed by covering my pillows with the blanket because "Seamus" the cat sleeps there most of the day. My dog makes a nest in the blanket next to my pillows and I just leave it.
So I guess I kinda make the bed every day!

That's how I was taught, and what I do to this day!
