In a discussion on the politics of housework in one of my classes today, my professor was naming off a list of house chores that always seem to be assigned to women. And when she got to bedmaking, she barked, quite bluntly:
"Well, I would argue that no one really has to make the bed, anyway. What a waste of time for something you just get back into and mess up again. Pointless!"
And I knew right then and there that we were going to get along just fine.

Lol! The only time I ever make my bed is when company is coming over -- and that's only if they're going to see my bedroom. X)
Agreed! A quick shake out of the quilt before getting back in is all that's needed. I've always wondered why people bother making it look so neat.
The only time I make my bed is when I change the sheets, so once a week. Which is a shame, because I love the feeling of a newly-made bed.
Having a made bed seems like such a pleasure to me, maybe because it's so unnecessary. You grew up with your mom making your bed for you every day, right?, so maybe you're just spoiled.
