How old were you when you had to start making your bed?

My kids are 10(or soon to be), 5, and 3 1/2 years old. Am I too easy of a mom cause I don't make them have to make their beds?
I make them clean their rooms, but I am anal (yeah I said anal) and I like certain toys in certain places so I have to clean it all the time anyways. But I never make them make their beds.

I did not have to start making my bed until I was about 14, and even then I did not do it. My ma did.

What an excellent querstion.....but first......"but I am anal (yeah I said anal) and I like certain toys in certain places "....the anal would have flown until you finished with the "I like my toys in certain places". LOL.

I started making my bed around 10 as part of my chores for the week. I would get an allowance(pitance by today's standard) based on whether the tasks were completed. If I did not do things up to an achievable standard my parents who show me again how to do things.

I had to make my bed as a kid.....prolly starting around 7 or 8........ I'd do a really crappy job on purpose because I thought it was pointless.
