Good attempt at a lesson, terrible actual chain of logic.
The attempted lesson here is presumably that things require regular maintenance and attention, in order to keep working well, working as they have been.
So… ‘wash your bedding once a month, or after a spill or accident’… or … ‘clean your room once a week, so that it doesn’t get so messy that you lose things or trip over stuff’ … or … ‘try your best to clean up dishes and cookware and put them away soon after you use them, so that the next time you need to use them, you can usually just assume they will be usable’.
A made bed?
I mean yeah, it can be useful as a simple routine for the sake of establishing any routine, or as regular mild excercise.
But an actual bed that is unmade… being not tidy does not make it more liable to degrading over time, unless shit is literally strewn across the room.
Or… unless you have some kind of very particular linens of something, where being crumpled will ruin their structural integrity…?
I’m trying to be generous here, but I think this is just an aesthetic preference masquerading as somehow … actually functional.
Keeping your sheets and blankets clean, yeah that’s functional.
There’s no value for the bed or room, but I see potential value for the person. I’ve got to admit, my friends who generally have their shit together are also the ones who make their bed.
Not that the bed making is some magic key, but they train themselves to treat all things as important and keep it together as they go.
As they walk by the room through the day, they get to see a well made bed and feel a bit better about the state of their affairs generally, thinking better of themselves and expecting more of themselves.
Idk, obviously I’m not living this way.
It’s a lot of thought to put into a bed, but this is a comment section, a good place to get unnecessarily philosophical.

Having a well kept space feels like it keeps my head clearer as well. It’s easier to think in a clean and organized space and I feel more at ease when the items around me are in their place. I know when I’m struggling mentally, my home ends up falling apart and it’s truly a reflection of my well being.
I think you absolutely nailed it with your comment on how some other people treat tidying up.

Keeping them super tidy?
OCD pretending to not be OCD.
Heh, yeah.
Asshole who never makes his bed here.

for the love of god don’t tell me you only wash your bedding once a month 🤢
It’s apparently shockingly common . I wash mine once a week part of the end of the week laundry routine
As it should be
