to not remind my whole family they will need something to wear tomorrow?

[AtYourCervix]

Family Doo to go to.

I'm all ready. Clothes all ironed.

We are leaving at 8 tomorrow.

DH. DD1 and DD2 will be needing clothes ready, washed and ironed.

I reminded them all this morning.

Nothing has been handed to me for washing or ironing.

AIBU to think they are all ready done?

AIBU to leave without them tomorrow when they are still unclothed?

YANBU, but I think there's every chance you'll be going on your own.

As long as it isn't a funeral, it might be more fun to go with them, unclothed. It would make for an extremely memorable occasion. And they might do their preparations properly in future.

Are you not just giving yourself a hard time in the morning?

YANBU, but I think it could backfire (sorry)

YANBU!

how old are the dds
I'd wash their clothes but let dh sort himself

I don't get this. Aren't most of their clothes clean and ironed/ in drawers hanging in wardrobe already? If they are old enough to sort their own clothes out then they're old enough to do their own ironing, and probably washing. I tend to sort my teenagers clothes out for these occasions, mainly to assure they are appropriately clad, plus it's less hassle. Would never sort out my husband's, why would I, he's an adult?

If it was me i would have to sort the stuff out or we would be late or they would choose whatever ensemble they had clean regardless of what it looked like

have this problem everytime we need to be somewhere, even church every sunday!
I would be tempted to check otherwise you will be very stress in the moring, unkless you are happy to go alone ;)

Only you know the answer.

If you do run around and do it for them when they ask you at the last minute then I'm not surprised they don't get organised

I don't get why most of the stuff isn't clean anyway? I'm fairly strict re them putting stuff in the wash in advance and fairly lax re kids wearing the perfect outfit. My husband always sorts his own stuff out. If they are old enough to put their own clothes on and choose an outfit I don't get what you are stressing about. It's only 1 day.

because i can bet you a million pounds what they want to wear will be crumpled in a ball under their beds, setting off a massive meltdown (DD2) thereby spoiling what should be a nice day.

Is it only me with children like that?

So 15 minutes til leaving, how's it going? Much yelling?

DD1 sorted.

DD2 has appeared wearing jean, scruffy T shirt and a cardi. Do I ask her to change and risk the wrath? or bite my tongue for a more peaceful drive.

DH has yet to apppear looking feeble with a creased shirt on.

I look fabulous.

Sounds like my house!

Depends where you are going - will jeans/t shirt be ok?

Hope you have a nice day

christning.

at least she is up and dressed. that will have to do.

How old are they? I would have discussed their clothes with them a week ago, and made sure everything was clean and sorted so no stress this morning.

Hope the day goes well.

My kids don't get their pocket money if clothes aren't either hung up or put in washing basket. Husband does his own ironing and is tidier than me.
I don't do last minute ironing and if I'm bothered about what the kids wear will tell them/ discuss with them their outfits a few days before.
It sounds as though you let them leave everything to the last minute too often.
