No. Be flexible on stuff like this.
Also, why bother?

My 2nd grader is not awesome at making her bed (I often have to fix it a bit afterwards), but it is more about the routine of contributing and being tidy than how well she does it.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.

He is right. Making your bed is often the first task you should do for the day and being productive leads to more productivity. It really shouldn’t matter what time your child wakes up- making the bed takes a couple minutes. BUT- I wouldn’t make it a hill to die on either. I set the example by making mine every day, but I’m not going to nag my child about making theirs.
Totally subjective and not proven science. If you value making the bed, then sure, it will bring you a dopamine hit. If you dont value it, its not going to change anything else for you in the day.

I think if you like the beds made, you make the beds.

Let this one go.

NP. You shouldn't make your bed right away- it's better to pull down the covers and let it air out for an hour.
Yup. I know this as well.

It takes less than ten seconds to straighten the blanket out. Maybe 15 if you have to toss pillows back near the headboard. That's not too much to ask.
