Father showing children never leave room without checking for items that belong in another room. Making bed never retrace steps and finish without going back to first side twice.

No idea, but my father studied time and motion study, and we had books which were made into at least one movie, Cheaper By The Dozen.

Sounds like Cheaper by the Dozen

Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042327/)
