my least favorite chore is ironing. When I first married we divided the chores and that one was my husbands. His mother had taught him to iron because she worked. Great. So, he does the ironing, everything but tableclothes. Now his office has gone to "casual" dress and he no longer needs to wear a shirt and tie except when visiting a cliet, maybe 1 day a week. He usually irons it that am. As to my boys, they too went to a school, same one as Dotsies, that required shirt and tie. At first they ironed their own shirts, but they became lazy and then just wore them wash and wear. Who cared how nice they looked. Now, they only iron when it needs to be nice, like job interview, seeing grandparents, holidays, etc. They were taught very young how to iron. I feel their future significant other will be very grateful they know how.
