Bloody school shirts. I have bought non iron ones. I hang them up damp. They look ok. Not perfectly crease free but they person who is going to wear them is 5 years old so WHO CARES. My husband apparently. He says they ‘need to be ironed’. By which he means he thinks I should iron them.

Leaving aside the fact that if he wanted a wife who ironed things he should have married his mother, surely the whole point of non iron shirts is too don’t have to iron the bloody things.

AIBU?
YABU - yes, your little darling must go to school wearing a freshly ironed shirt
YANBU - they’re called non iron shirts for a reason, go to bed and stare at Mumsnet on your phone

I iron nothing.

Complete waste of time!

I iron for weddings and funerals. I most recently ironed over 3 years ago when dh was a witness in court. He has a great selection of non-iron tips and shirts for work (GP - so not allowed to wear a tie for infection control purposes).

When I did get the ironing board out for my Gran's funeral, dd2 asked what the "funny long table" was for!

Exactly! Well done you,

No one cares, they are all too busy looking at themselves.

I agree that prepping for a special occasion is different though!
