Take that, Mom and Dad! And Wife! Making the bed is bad!!!
Turns out, a bed that has been made is a great breeding ground for bedbugs and mites. They're all warm and cozy in there. When the bed's not made, however, it gets too hot and dry for them and they die. This news has been around for a while, but a new set of studies just started making the rounds on this particular subject. I, personally, have known for years that making the bed is bad. Which is why I never do it except when I want my wife to think that I've actually done something with my day (just kidding, honey!) or when the covers get so messed up that we can't evenly distribute them between us. That never used to be a problem-wake up in the morning, flip the covers off, go to bed at night, flip the covers right back on. It's far more complicated when there are two of us. Especially when one of us, not mentioning names, is a cover hog!
Admittedly, there's nice aspects to a made bed...but really, what's the point? Skip it! Save time! Your kids will love you for it (still make them clean their rooms though...I doubt there's anything healthy about a messy room!). Declare war on bedbugs and mites! Down with bed-making!
