How sweet of your husband to be making the bed for you. You really shouldn't go in and redo it for him. I read a book that said that when you do that you let them know by your actions that you weren't happy with their work and it will discourage them from doing it.

I caught myself, after I had read the book, straightening a pillow that my husband placed on the bed for me. He made a comment and hasn't helped since (of course he's usually not here when I make the bed). Next time the bed is made how it's made.

I don't mind taking care of things concerning the dogs, I love them so much! But at least he could have told me. It could have been on there a lot longer if I hadn't gone in there.

I guess you could call it sweet. It would have been sweeter if he had done it right in the first place. Maybe the author of that book would like to make my bed...LOL

It's just that I've always been taught to do chores the right way. After living with me for almost 32 years, you would a thought he had a clue how the bed is made and few other things for that matter. I remember a saying that goes: If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to do it over?"
