A few know here that I am separated but live with H because neither of us can afford to move out just yet. Before we split I would do the ironing and I would not iron towels (I know some do) but since the separation he has taken to doing the ironing on an almost obsessive level and he irons the towels, but not only that, he folds them like his mother!!! He never used to do that. tonight I am ironing and I find myself ironing the towels, why? Why should I even consider his feelings in this task?

Yeah, me too. I dont think I have known anyone to iron towels. That is way too far. Heard of people ironing their underwear and that is crazy IMO.

Scarzy - I don't think I could do it. if you wanted to impress him, wanted something from him, wanted new jewellery, favours whatever - from him - then yeah go that extra mile, but nah I don't think I could iron his towels - esp given your living situation.

I have a smile on my face about this, imagining you standing at the ironing board aimlessly ironing his towels and thinking WTF???????

Somedays.
I feel lame. I don't iron...anything. :P I mean, if H or I had something fancy that wrinkled up much, I would (and have, and so has H, and he's actually better at it).

I don't think it's stupid (a good thing to be aware of and explore), but certainly, if you don't feel they need to be ironed, then I would forgo it in the future. Wink

I like the sound of ironing... khuuuuuu shhhhhhooo *faint gurgle* khuuuuuu khuu khuu khuu shhh khuu shhh (this is me ironing a corner) shhhhhhooo. At least that's the sound mine makes. And ksh ksh ksh ksh as I spray whatever you spray when you iron


Really Cat!!

Mine's more like 'b****y shirt!!' or 'where did that crease come from?' or 'don't you dare slide off the ironing board again!!' Big Grin
Hmm I'd worry more about behaviours I'd changed when I was really unhappy, would go along with nes I'd thought through when I feel more even - is that how you feel? Well scarsie, I say iron if you want to and don't if you don't want to ....or send it to me Smiler Anon still has my laundry fairies I believe Hug two but I don't mind a bit of ironing....
Aww, if I had them still, sorry, I didn't know. You can have them back! My H has told me (and bragged to others) that our new rental has a ghost maid in it who does all that sort of thing, because he leaves things a mess and they magically get cleaned when he's not looking. Roll Eyes

I also use the dryer as my preferred "ironing" method. I do agree about the lovely sounds the iron makes, though. Soothing. My grandma left an iron down on the floor when I was a kid and it burned my leg so bad I had a triangular scar on my calf into my 20s, so even though I'm not scared of irons (like I can use them no problem), I get this kind of fear I'm going to leave it around and burn somebody or something.

Gosh, I wish I really did have a ghost maid or laundry fairies or dish gnomes or something. We have a friend coming to stay, Boo and my nephews are thrashing the house, and I could really use some supernatural help around here. Big Grin
