TIL men and women need different bedding. Can't have that *gasp* male bedding amirite? (/s obviously)

Uh, what? Who is making their bed in college? lol.


What? Even my slob of a daughter pulls up a duvet, fluffs it and arranges the pillows. It takes about 60 seconds max.


I have never in my 47 years been someone who makes a bed daily

So neither are my kids
Perhaps consider making a change! It makes the room so enjoyable for the rest of the day and is a welcome to return to at night. You don’t have to find the sheet or pull up covers at night to go to sleep. 🛌 😴


(NP here, who does the same).

I don’t go into the room again until bedtime nor does anyone else.

It would be a waste of time.

Hysterically true.

That’s sloppy.


It’s more sanitary. If you make your bed shortly after you wake, you trap in the moisture and increase dust mites. It’s best to wait until later in day to make your bed, especially if you have allergies.

You’re judgy.


NP. “Judgy” started with the person who questioned and poked fun at the person who shared her experience making her bed in college. So if you want to call people out for being “judgy,” you start there.
