to make DS1 do his ironing?

He's 13yo and we have fallen out because when looking for something to wear he rifles through his draw, pulls out the t-shirt he wants and leaves the rest in a worse state than before they were ironed.

I've told him I'm not ironing them anymore - thing is he'll happily wear them in whatever state he's left them in, or completely un-ironed. So, me not ironing them is not the same thing as making him iron them himself. WWYD?

I don't iron t-shirts, but they are tumble dried and then hung up rather than folded in the drawer. I really don't think you can tell they aren't ironed, I look at my children, I look at other children, they all look the same level of smartness (perhaps their parents don't iron either).

Possibly hang up (or suggest he hangs up) the few fave t-shirts, putting them in drawers makes them more crumply anyway, even if ironed.
