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

[Cutiebaby]

i totally dont make my son make his bed in the morning. What's teh point?
Unless I'm having company or something (hardly ever)

I dont make my bed either

I don't either unless it is one of the days where I clean their rooms for them the real way. My 3 yr old pulls all his blankets off so he can use his bed as a race track for matchbox so it is pointless to make his,my 10 yr keeps an arsenal of things on his bed as he tends to believe it is the only place safe in this house from the two youngest, and my daughter well I never make her bed.

I was just thinking today maybe I should tell them to make their beds or something.

I have really nice bedding that is neatly folded on a chest in my bedroom. My bed looks like two badgers were fighting in it.

it certainly cant hurt to teach them how and then make it one of their "chores"

when my wife tells me to...

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.

I grew up in squalor. I didn't even have a pillow. Sometimes I didn't have a bed. I never was made to make my bed, but I sometimes did it and sometimes I didn't. If I didn't do it, it didn't get done.

from the time I was little, my mother had me just throw the blankets back in place. I didn't have to tuck anything back in or make it perfect. That's still what I do, and what my son's both do without my prompting. my daughter, the slob, would be happy if her she slept in a pile of dirt.
she doesn't make her bed unless i tell her.

I didn't make my own bed until I left for university. My mom always made my bed for me.

I'm quite a slob.

 

[rnch]

i can't recall when i didn't...my parent's attitude was that if i was big enough to mess it up i was big enough to make it up.
