Some of the new duties include bed making, not that it is all that new having done it before. My brother in law has given up bed making at home due to the strict standards of his nurse wife. I am finding similar issues. Everyone thought bed making was solved when the fitted sheet came on the scene. When you have got arthritic fingers those fitted sheets are painful. We have multiple sheet sets that need to be rotated on a regular basis. This schedule is not written down but is rigorous.
There are no less than 7 pillows on the bed for display purposes only and must be arranged in a certain way. Patterns and lines matching the doona which is also never used. All of this equipment must be removed and stacked elsewhere in the bedroom each night and the "in use" pillows removed from storage. If you have to get up in the night then beware the fluffy obstacle course. Having settled in for a well earned sleep it seems the blankets have been tucked too deep at the foot of the bed so after some pulling and tugging we can get on with it.
