AIBU to not iron 8 month old's clothes?

[LalyRawr]

My daughter is 8 months old, I do not and have never ironed her clothes. Frankly I don't see the need, I don't think the clothes look wrinkled or that she looks unkempt. FIL mentioned something about ironing and I said I do not iron the baby's clothes. I then got a rant more appropriate to if I told him I fed her crack for breakfast.

I genuinely do not think I am being unreasonable, but his reaction made me feel like I should?

Though to be fair, he didn't seem so outraged when I bagged up her clothes and gave them to him to iron.

Am I allowed to post pictures of my daughter? If so I'll show a picture of her in her I ironed clothes if that helps?

Sorry for the rambling, but am I being unreasonable?

Yanbu. Ironing is saaaaaad.
Ignore OCD symptoms in others.

Hmm. I now feel silly for ironing her t-shirts. Maybe this thread can be a life changing moment for me She has these little t-shirts with ruffles and short sleeves though that stick up - what am I doing wrong?!

I haven't ironed in over 15 years. On discovering this a little while ago, a friend blurted out "but your boys always look so nice?!" with complete puzzlement on her face, thus proving that saying she can always tell is complete tommy rot!

Only work clothes get ironed chez Trazzle and that's only if we can't get someone else to do it for us

I pretty much only iron shirts and my work clothes (OH works as a roofer, am not ironing his work clothes!).

I hate ironing and really didn't want to have to add all the baby's clothes as well!

Buy clothes without ruffles? I do look art things and yet to work out if they'll b be easy to care for, not need ironing etc.

This a picture in one of her dresses:

Doesn't look bad does it?

Hoarder

They're just kind of ruffly edges, or those little cap sleeves. And we're bought for me by someone who will never have to clean them! This is why she lives in jeans, no ironing needed there...

Oppsy.

Obviously didn't work x

Does this work?

YANBU, my DD is almost 2 and I haven't yet ironed anything of hers,

She looks perfect.

Let FIL do the ironing, then tell him how many outfits she gets through each day. Between weaning and nappy explosions my 6 month old manages at least 2 changes a day. Sometimes up to 4.

Today she was mostly wearing avocado though, since i had lost the will to live change her

What a pumpkin. Even if she was wearing a sack, all anyone would look at is her cute little face. FIL OTOH is a twunt.

Lol. If we're staying indoors, sometimes she's just in her nappy (with the heating on!), she has more outfit changes than a Eurovision presenter.

YANBU. Life's too short to start ironing stuff. I only ever iron stuff when I have a funeral / wedding / job interview.

yanbu at all
ironing is not mandatory, esp not for baby clothes.

if your fil ould like to see your dc in ironed clothing he should iron himself.

YADNBU! Like many other posters here, I don't iron a thing (and I don't buy clothes if they look like they will need ironing or handwashing).

We bought DD1 some Hama beads for her birthday and had to dig the iron out to glue them together. She asked, "What's that?" She's 4. Result.

You shouldn't have said anything and your FIL would have been none the wiser.

Of course YANBU.

We actually gave our new iron away to neighbours who said theirs was broken as I had been used maybe 3 times ever!

We buy everything non iron variety, and if anything comes up once in a blue moon ( like someone dying!), we drop at the dry cleaners ironing service at at grand total of 80p a shirt :)

I have never looked back since reading a similar thread a couple of years back. Our of every wash I maybe iron two items at most, usually shirts. YANBU. I thought I would have to start ironing when my DS started school - turns out that this was also unnecessary . And I am totally worried about what other people think so I wouldn't do it unless I thought I could get away with it.

I iron PFB outside clothes (so not her vests or sleeping stuff) but jeans, t shirts, jumpers, dresses etc all get ironed.

I iron our clothes too though, just feels that bit smarter.

I genuinely barely even know how to use an iron. DH has always done what little there is- his shirts mainly. Neither of us would ever think of ironing an 8 month old's clothes!

tbh with to small clothes I would probably iron more creases in

strategic drying here. and whoever has to have something ironed has to do that him/herself.

you can tell it has not been ironed... but it is nowhere near as bad as the stuff dd wears that has been pulled out of the washingheap unironed.

life is too shot. christmas/bithday photos maybe.. buut anything else.. no chance.
