[quote=Anonymous]I can slide out of bed in the morning and the bed barely looks disturbed. Making up my bed could easily be done in under a minute. It takes more time to replace the decorative pillows and shams than to tidy the sheets and covers.

One of my kids is the exact opposite of me. She moves around in her sleep a lot, gets out of bed frequently, flops down hard on her bed, tugs hard on sheets and blankets. Even if the bed was nice and tidy and the sheets were tucked in tight at bedtime, by morning, her comforter is on the floor, the flat sheet is balled up at the foot end of the bed, the fitted sheet is half off the bed, the mattress protector has come loose from one corner. She has ADHD and developmental coordination disorder. It’s harder and takes longer for her to make up a bed compared to most people. There’s no way I’m enforcing that in the mornings before a 7:45 start time.

The kids strip their beds for our cleaning service and put their dirty sheets in the laundry room. I lay out clean sheets for the cleaners to make up the beds. Other than that, I pretty much only enforce my kids making their beds when guests are coming over. I like to keep my own tidy though.[/quote]
