Husband's question....really?? AIBU?

[beckieperk]

DH just asked if i ironed 0-3 babygrows. Then looked really shocked when i said no. He said his mum would!!!
I keep reminding him he didn't marry his mum....especially when hes ill (thats a different story!!) AIBU to be flabbergasted by the question in the first place.....then the response just topped it off.
Does anyone actually iron babygrows??? Is it just me??

[thecatsthecats]

I don't iron anything.

[LadySainsburySeal]

Baby grows don't need ironing. Nor do most things people allegedly iron!

[MikeUniformMike]

Can't he iron them if he's so concerned?

[KingscoteStaff]

'No, of course not. Do you, dear?'

[teaiseverything]

God for his mother.

YADNBU. They're going to be puked on/pooped on within a couple of hours!

[Dfg15]

Nope would never iron them. In fact i barely iron anything - if it needs ironing it doesnt get worn tell him to do it himself if he's that bothered

[GummyGoddess]

No, because baby stretches them out and you can't see the creases! He's more than welcome to pick up the iron if he's that concerned.

[Saltandsauce]

Tell him he is quite capable of ironing the baby grows, then he can be just like his Mum!!
I never ironed them unless they were going for a sleepover at someone else’s house haha.
I only iron what everyone is wearing that day, I can’t stand the thought of spending hours ironing clothes fresh out the dryer or off the washing line!

[teaiseverything]

Good not God. Although it seems like he thinks his mother is god

[NoNoCharlieRascal]

I do. And socks, and pants, and tea towels.

Nah, I'm fucking with ya!

I have an ironing board and iron, but I don't think it's been unpacked from when we moved...19 months a go.

[YesitsJacqueline]

My mum irons everything even tea towels and baby socks. She is nuts. I think it's a generational thing.
I iron hardly anything

[Tentomidnight]

Hahahahaha, hilarious!! I hope you just looked at him with a face like this -->

[Klarabing]

The only thing I iron is my dd's Hama beads x

[Whocansay]

Tell him where the iron is.

How ridiculous. I could get through several a day when mine were small. I didn't have the time for ironing, and could not have cared less about it.

[Giraffesarequitetall]

That is ridiculous, why on earth would you iron them?

[Daddystepdaddy]

You could suggest he irons then if he is that bothered. I do all the ironing in our house btw.

[HildaZelda]

I don't iron anything. My mothers irons EVERYTHING. Towels, underwear, even fucking dusters!

[Mybabystolemysanity]

I did DD's before we went to hospital to have her (when I had time for faffing like that). Never again though!

[PiggyGoesToMarket]

I did 😳, only up to 3mo though then realised you can’t actually see any creases when on...

MIL is horrified that I don’t iron towels, sheets, underwear etc. DM is horrified I iron anything 😂

[LanaKanesTerfyVagina]

I don't even own a fucking iron.

And my reply to that would have been a string of fuck yous before asking why, if it's so important to him, that he can't do it him fucking self.

Does he think irons are operated by vagina??

[finnmcool]

I don't understand why he asked the question in the first place.
Fwiw, I never ironed baby grows.

[beckieperk]

Thank god its not just me....he's laughing about it now. I just held one up and said "which part of this would the iron fit on?" He pointed to the big ish bit of material on the back.....so i swiped him round the head with it!! Think he got the picture. His mum is very much like that.....she loves ironing! I find that weird behaviour....

[HuskyMcClusky]

I can’t even imagine what that would achieve.

[Lules]

Even my mum who irons everything doesn’t iron babygros. I imagine they’re quite a hard shape to iron. As you can tell, I’ve never tried.

[Mrsbclinton]

The only time I would have ironed them was when I took them out of storage to use on dd2.
Wouldn't have done if after each wash, just fold when they come out of the fryer.
