anyone else not do ANY ironing?

[pregmummy]

DH does his own work shirts and apart from that Nothing gets ironed. am i the only one?

I iron hama beads as well

None! I buy clothes with this in mind knowing if they'll need ironing they won't get worn! It really surprised me when I saw my DD playing with an iron at toddlers as I couldn't think how she knew what to do with it.

I actually threw our iron out the other day. It hadn't been used in about 6 years.

I guess I may have to start ironing when my children reach school age .

No I don't iron either unless it is something for a special occasion and I look ok... I think...

I never iron. Can't stand it. Too mired in other domestic drudgery to give myself that to do as well!

I don't iron, as I hate it and see it as a pointless exercise! My irons a shirt if he has to meet a client at work and that it all! Life is too short to iron.

No
Only if going out. DH irons his own top each morning but it's not a "scheduled" chore in my life. I hate it with a passion.

Nope, no ironing for me either. Everything comes out of the machine, has a good shake and goes on the airer. I rely on gravity to pull out the creases and then its back in the wardrobe until its time to wear it. Ironing board has been relocated to the shed! Life it too short!

I don't either. (unless there's a party or other special occasion).

blimey, you are all slatterns sensible people

Ahem seriously outnumbered here ..... but aren't you all really crinkled/crumpled looking? Doesn't it bother you? I'm not judging just curious.

Last thing I ironed was five months ago....DH's hired cravat for our wedding. I burnt it. Fortunately his waistcoat hid that bit and it was insured!

Some people (me) just shouldn't be allowed near irons. I just shake/stretch/smooth things out before they go on the line or on a hanger to dry. Some fabrics just don't wrinkle as much (all DH's good shirts are 'iron-free') and we don't have many items that look dire without ironing--they don't get worn!

No never iron here.

Dh occasionally irons a shirt for a concert... but then he only irons the front as dj jacket covers the rest!!

what is this 'ironing' of which you speak?

Better things in life to do than iron! Blame my mum - she is obsessed with ironing and cleaning which has forced me to be the complete opposite.

Maybe iron 4 things a year...

schilke - love your DH's ironing technique - am going to def share that one

I can't cos i'm left handed!!

No, I don't iron. What a waaaaaaaste of time.

i do not iron! retired from the sport when expecting dd due to anemias and low bp = fainting if standing up too long.

fold clothes up and put away as soon as they are dry and dh irons his own shirts!! if you hang shirts on the line already on hangers then tbh i don't think they need ironing.

ironically (ha!crappy pun), i usd to trade baskets of ironing for meals at uni

will now read thread and discover this is Not The MN Way

ooh you slatterns

bet you all look terrible

hooray we are all lazy sluts intelligent people with better things to do!

will i be ostracised though if i admit that i fold pants??

I was once told ...
Why do my clothes need to be flat? My body isn't.

Wow, it's not just me. I haven't ironed anything since I wore school shirts.
I just wear very very slutty tight clothes. No wrinkles.

i dont own an iron or ironing board.waste of space and time.

Bibithree-i like that!
