Same here...didn't really mind it and I continue making the bed everyday.

I always made it at night because I hate getting into an unmade bed but the two years its the first thing I do when I get up. When I come home, it looks so nice. Love it.

Hi Croemer----it must have jumped my kids and grand kids generation though. Guess I didn't imprint hard enough. Whatever makes them who they are is okay though. Keeping a motel room neat is something I do also. Maybe I'm OCD?

I have one who makes the bed...another who doesn't MOON. I am a neat freak and I admit it. I too straighten the bed in hotel rooms, wipe down the sink area and hang or fold used towels.

2 things I do every day...Make the bed (sick or not) and, I never go to bed with a dirty dish in the sink.

I don't like dishes in the sink either. Before i go to bed, I have a checklist of things I do. I make sure all the closet doors are shut too When i come downstairs in the morning, I like to see everything already tidy. Lol

I saw on a health type show, in a segment about bed hygiene (sheet washing, bed bugs, etc.), that it's actually healthier to pull the covers down on your bed for the daytime to allow your bed to air out. Going from being in your bed to covering it with layers of bedding allows lots to breed under there!

I make the bed every day. But I do air out the bed every morning as I move around the house - coffee, shower, etc etc. I also spray the bed with Fabreze every so often before pulling up covers and bedspread.

brii, if we are ever single and need a roommate you are top of my list GF, I do all those things too...plus check that the doors are locked.
