To question WHY DH needs 7, yes 7 shirts ironing?

[Babylon1]

So DH is off out tomorrow night to wet our newest arrivals head, DS1 was born just two weeks ago today.

He has managed to round up most of his oldest and closest friends apart from one who married a dragon who will never in a million years let him come out to play to join him for an evening of fun and frolics in the local boozer...... All good so far!!

Then he asked me to iron a couple of shirts for him, still ok with me.......

He came downstairs with SEVEN, yes SEVEN shirts requiring the attention of the iron, with me on the other end of it!!!

Why??? I mean two I could understand, but 7?????

Ironing and mowing the lawn, my two bestest favourite chores

You are mad OP. I have only ever cut the grass once and never gain.

I give a nice man a tenner for cutting my grass.
I don't even possess a lawn mower.

I have a man to do the lawn too.

He's called DP

He does not cost a tenner more like a bloody fortune in books

When ds was born he went to M and S and bought loads of iron free shirts - just shake and hang straight from the drier

Yes I am a little mad, I find it helps!!!!

Mowed both lawns today in between showers AND squeezed a spot of ironing in too for good measure!!!!

DH is not allowed to mow the lawns here, that's MY job!!!

Something else I find really therapeutic, stick my iPod in and away I go!!!

Thankfully an ironing shop recently opened in our village. A godsend as I've always hated it. :)

Full time working mum here, and each week I iron 5 shirts each for dss, 5 for dh, and 5 for me (if I have lots of meetings). Did have a cleaner, who did my ironing, but let her go. Every week when I'm standing doing the ironing do think about sending it out, but not that organised. Will also cut the grass (although dh does it more often), and I do the "handy man" type things around the home.

Looking at this...why do I have dh???

maraisfrance - trust me, Novack's comment was totally unacceptable and unnecessarily cruel. Perhaps best to draw a line under it now

maraisfrance I'm going to answer that. My first two posts were very lighthearted and were taken out of the vein in which they were intended. I might be many things in your opinion, but I am neither bitter nor unkind. We are all different and we all have different opinions. There was no need for Bibbity to have had the dig in the first place on a lighthearted thread; she did and those who can't take it, in my very honest opinion, need not give it.l

I've reported your post maraisfrance

What a horrible thing to say.

And why drag something up from 3 days ago?
