To iron or not to iron - that is the question

Marianne72

I used to iron far more when I was younger. I sometimes feel guilty because I rarely iron bedclothes - I don't know why as I'm the only one in the house! I usually iron tops and trousers but not household linens. A friend used to iron her underwear and even shoe laces! What do you think? Is it lazy not to, or is it foolish to worry about something so trivial? Does this represent dignity or wasting valuable life-time?

  • I very rarely iron. The only thing I'll iron is t-shirts that get wrinkled in the wash. I try to buy materials that don't but for the odd few that do, I will iron them. Generally only in the warmer months though. I don't see the point in the winter when I'll have a hoodie and/or coat over the top. 

    Some might see this as lazy but I struggle with housework so I concentrate my energy on the tasks that are to do with cleanliness and hygiene instead.

    I think these things are personal preference.

    I've never heard of anyone ironing shoe laces. I really can't see the point in that.
