Does your wife iron your shirts? (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

My wife used to be a teacher, but now she stays at home. Long story short, I have a bunch of cotton shirts that I like because they breathe, but they get wrinkly. I'm trying to save on dry cleaning, so I broached my wife about ironing them. She laughed in my face and said. "#### off! This isn't the 1950s! If you need ironing done , YOU do it! Or go buy some rayon blends!"

Is she out of line? Or am I?

 

[DCThunder]

You are.

 

[mquinnjr]

Non-iron dress shirts, and don't look back.

 

[mr roboto]

I iron most of mine because I remember to do it like 10 minutes beforehand. She's willing to do it but I strangely enjoy ironing.

 

[Fennis]

don't wear shirts until she irons them

Do you have kids? I don't think it's out of line if she doesn't work and you don't have kids.

Ironing is clearly women's work

I'll bet Ray Rice doesn't have to iron his own shirts.

 

[Dentist]

it's $2.19 at my local cleaner on "workshirt Wednesday" to get my button down work shirts cleaned and ironed.

I'm a noted extremely cheap person and this is some of the best money I spend every week.

or cook his own pot pies.

 

[jonessed]

I don't think you are out of line for asking, but her response suggests it might be a battle you ought not to fight.

Just use the cleaners.

 

[chauncey]

Iron? Next you are gonna tell me you still use yahoo.

Either wrinkle free dress shirts or dry cleaners is the way to go.

Shark move here is to threaten violence.

the dryer does mine every morning. steam wrinkle release is where it is at.

 

[Al O'Pecia]

Tim, serious question, why don't you have the illegal immigrants you've taken in iron the shirts?

 

[17seconds]

I have never found a dress shirt that doesn't need to be ironed. Wrinkle free just means you can steam iron it in about 20 seconds.

The correct response is:

"how about not leaving the clean laundry wadded up on the floor for a week, peggy sue?"

You need to get into Banana and Brooks Bros more often my friend.

It all depends on how crisp you want your shirts. If you are wearing a SC or suit to work you need to iron your shirts. If you are wearing khakis/jeans you can do wrinkle-free without ironing (assuming you take them out of the dryer promptly and hang them up).

 

[Slapdash]

People still wear/buy dress shirts that need to ironed?

Been in this all day, I took it out of the closet yesterday bc i was going to wear it to an event we went to yesterday. Decided not to so I left it on the bed all day, threw it over a chair last night, put it on this morning... Even if I get it dry cleaned, within an hour of wearing it, it'll look exactly how it looks now. These shirts are the best thing ever. Don't know why anyone would buy anything but non iron dress shirts.

 

[StrikeS2k]

Wore a dress shirt a couple weekends ago for a wedding. Prior to that can't remember when I did. Times they are a changin......

Do you have kids? I don't think it's out of line if she doesn't work and you don't have kids.

Two daughters. But-

1. My oldest has later theater classes that end at 6:30 pm 3 nights a week, and I pick her up.

2. I do all the grocery shopping.

3. I fix dinners every night.

I'm not trying to sound like a chauvinist here; my wife does plenty. Its a partnership. But I'm the one earning all the money.

She doesn't work and you are cooking and buying groceries?

What is she doing during the day?

10 cents a word. I'm demanding a raise, though.

#### if I know.

Takes the kids to school, volunteers in the school, takes the kids to dance class, theatre class, all activities, clothes shopping, cleans the house. Cooks breakfast, makes lunches. All the laundry.

She claims I mostly spend my time at the office screwing around on the internet.

 

[Slapdash]

Post less, iron more.

This explains everything about Tim. His wife clearly wears the pants in their relationship, so he comes here in order to feel like he gets his voice heard.

It's kinda sad really.

you forgot to mention the 78,000+ posts you've churned out in the last 7 years. i think you've got a pretty solid case here.

Of all the things my wife does and does well, she wouldn't know what an iron looked like if she was in an iron store.

You should probably go see a divorce attorney.

I iron my shirts, but my wife would iron them if I asked.

The last time I had my shirts ironed was when I was a single guy in the late 80s. The woman I paid to clean my house did it for me at no extra charge.

#WhatWouldRayRiceDo?

 

[StrikeS2k]

Hire an illegal to iron your shirts. They're cheap and it'll help the economy.

 

[Jayrod]

Personally, I suck at ironing. I'm pretty sure it takes me twice as long as it should take and I usually want to throw the iron through a window by the time I'm done.

I've asked my wife to do it, but she does work so it rarely if ever gets done.

So we drop a few hundred bucks a year on dry cleaning and everyone is happy.

 

[sublimeone]

If she refuses to do it because she finds the task demeaning, she needs to get over herself. If she refuses to do it because she's busy with other things, either take something off of her plate or take your shirts to the dry cleaners.

The Nazi's had shirts to iron too, but they made the Jews do it.
