I must admit, I never make the bed when my wife is out of town.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 4 days ago

Am gay. I don't make the bed unless I expect visits. Does it make me feel fricking good to see a tidy bed and house? Yes. Will I do it every day? Absolutely not.

Just like us cis folk might feel as well. Am cis male, feel the same way, sort of. In fact, I might even make the bed more often when my wife isn't around because she keeps telling me that living things like a tidy bed more just after you get up out of it, so wait a while until making it. But if I wait, it never gets done. I'll do it immediately if she isn't around.

FYI, gay men can be cis too, I guess you meant straight. Cis means you feel like the sex you physically have, it has nothing to do with sexual preference.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Ah okay. Gosh, I've had the wrong idea about that. I thought it was what you describe plus being straight. My mistake, thank you so much for the correction.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

Cis is just the opposite of trans.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I got it ๐Ÿ‘

[-] Leg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Cishet is the term you're thinking of for that.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oh? That word means cis + straight?

Edit: okay, I get it now ๐Ÿ˜„ the het part is for "heterosexual". Alright cool. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I'm confused.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Couldn't find the word when writing that comment, but I was referring to mites. Mites like a warm, made bed. But if you leave everything a bit rustled up while the bed cools off after you've left it, they don't get too comfortable. Then you can make the bed after it has cooled. I'm guessing they like both the warmth, as well as the easier navigation of a made bed?

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Mites just appreciate when you make the bed for them.

Iโ€™d personally be more inclined to get rid of the mites rather than make them slightly uncomfortable, but each to their own.

Sure. However, I think it's more about sustaining an environment where house dust mites (finally found the real term) don't want to be. Otherwise they'll show up/thrive. But in my mind, the best solution should be to change sheets with enough frequency, and make sure the house isn't so dusty. That way they have no food and are swept away often enough by the washer/vacuum not to get a footing.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I guess that destroys that theory.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

I make the bed, at least my side of it, every day. If I don't, my wife, along with the cats and dog, won't give me any covers when I get in.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago

I never understood sleeping in the same bed as a dog. Feels so filthy. Even a cat, bro. (Lived with cats for 22 years before moving from parent.)

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I just put out a dog blanket for the dog to lay on top of. That way my sheets stay undogged. As a bonus she knows if that blanket isn't laid out she's not welcome on the bed and if it is she can come up if she wants.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That's adorable. Now I understand better. I hope most people do what you do.
