Who does the ironing in your house?

Spent most of yesterday evening behind a huge pile of ironing while DH watched telly. Never went near the ironing board before children, now I'm never away from it... help! I even iron vests, though not knickers (I'm not insane). Who irons and what do you iron?

LadySherlockofLGJ · 06/03/2006 11:34

I send it out.

CountessDracula · 06/03/2006 11:35

dh does his shirts every so often or we send them away to be ironed

I pay my mum to do if she is around

or it gets done as and when we need something

Me. If I'm really snowed with work then dh does his own shirts and will iron the kids' stuff. Otherwise, I don't mind it - put a CD on and I'm away!

Cod - why does your dh need 30 shirts for two weeks??

zippitippitoes · 06/03/2006 11:36

we use a tumble drier and only iron if going out so hardly ever

Amelily · 06/03/2006 11:36

Can't stop the vest ironing thing! Though sure I will when I go back to work, dds will be permanently creased then.

Me. It always seems to be the maid's day off when it needs doingWink

NotActuallyAMum · 06/03/2006 11:36

I do all the ironing - DP can't iron. Not complaining though, it's the only household chore he doesn't do

I don't iron underwear of any description but can't think of anything else I don't do

compo · 06/03/2006 11:37

don't do any iroing here. Just hang clothes up straight out of washing machine and no ironing required

LadyTophamHatt · 06/03/2006 11:37

Blu...I thought that too?
30 shirts in 2 weeks......is he a sweaty betty?

GDG · 06/03/2006 11:37

Amelily - do you iron tea towels and socks too? Please say no!

Amelily · 06/03/2006 11:37

Can you read Cod? Don't do dh's ironing, don't do his washing either...and he cooks tea every other night. Only asking about kids' clothes.

LadyTophamHatt · 06/03/2006 11:37

Amelily · 06/03/2006 11:38

Have never ironed a tea towel or sock in my life. Or a sheet... or a towel...

In our house we do not iron bedding, underwear, jeans, casual t shirts or tops, we only have a few things that HAVE to be ironed, I do mine, DH does his, or the cleaner does it.

LadyTophamHatt · 06/03/2006 11:38

no actually I mean mean too......I think..

oh fuckit...whatever....

cod · 06/03/2006 11:38

o h fari enough then
well if ti bothers you then stp doing it

zippitippitoes · 06/03/2006 11:39

I think tea towels do work better if ironed, do your kids clothes really need ironing though if shaken and folded or hung from the laudry

CountessDracula · 06/03/2006 11:39

you do mean too

LOL at your one-woman grammar crise
